Re: The NHL Thread
 

man, the Flyers are totally going to be stuck with Bryz as a backup.

Hiller is gone to Calgary for four mil a year.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I hope Pierre does that all year.

"I love this Jonathan Toews. I would have brought him to Pittsburgh"

Re: The NHL Thread
 

This a decent point. Still, the idea of him playing next to Mike Green (which is what makes sense to me) kinda makes me hesitant.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I mean, we could get into a whole "I bet they are" and "I bet they're not" type thing, but I doubt it. The Avs seem to be targeting certain types of guys to complement their roster. Vanek does not fit that type. Iginla does. Also, they let Stastny walk because they wouldn't overpay, so I don't think they'd shell it out for a player like Vanek.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Vanek to the Wild. Central division is just insane

Re: The NHL Thread
 

6.5mil per for 3 years for Vanek in Minny. Say it ain't so!

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Yeah, Colorado would never have even thought about giving a 1-dimensional guy 6.5/year. That's more than both Duchene and The Gabe.

Robidas to TOR. Good signing.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

watch Minnesota get Niskanen too and no one will know what to do with the Central

Re: The NHL Thread
 

They are saying just 3 years for vanek. Where are all the 7 year deals today

Re: The NHL Thread
 

That Central divison....sorry Matty but I think Minny/STL/Chicago/Dallas are gonna feast on the Avs next year.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Challenge accepted. It's gonna be insane.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Minny will regret the Vanek signing. Will turn out like Heatley. Deal includes NTC

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Kinda bummed. Would have liked Hiller in Philly. But he'll start in Calgary so that's a no-brainer for him.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Hawks are apparently in on Brad Richards

Re: The NHL Thread
 

For him, he wanted to go to Minny so took what he could get.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

So Bolland and Orpik the dumbest ones of the days....so far.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Lotta huge money contracts being signed today

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I just put "NHL Lockout" in my phone for October 2022

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Avs sign Gervais :lol He'll be great sitting at #8 on the depth chart.

Great job re-signing Nick Holden.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

So Jets never making the playoffs. There is just no way in that division.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I'm actually pretty impressed with the Sabres. Now add Moulson. Willing to pay more to get to the floor = FA's will give them a bit of a look.

Doesn't immediately make them contenders, but they've added some really good pieces.

Also, Havlat to NJD.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Niskanen will NOT be signing with Detroit

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Buffalo...

C-Gorges
A-Gionta
A-Moulson

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Waiting for Wings fans to not understand why not every player wants to play here. Fire Ken Holland for a player wanting to go elsewhere! This isn't the old NHL. Every team is on the same level now, more so as the cap has gone up because these teams have to pay to get to the floor. I'm sure Wings offered good money so the player needs to go where he wants. Sucks Wings have missed out but...shit happens.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Iginla to Avs. Liking it. Favorite of the Avs vet pick ups so far. Of all of them, I see him working out the best. Will click with guys like Mac and Gabe.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

will Iggy be able to keep up?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

But holy shit they paid a lot... 5.5 per year/3 yrs

EDIT: On Iggy, that is.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

:lol he'll be the trailer coming in behind everyone and getting the juicy rebounds.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

That's a lot for sure. A year or two...ok but 3 at that price is a lot.

The NHL Thread
 

And the Hawks have signed.....Peter Regin hahaha
