yave1964 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Wearing my Darren McCarty autographed jersey and surrounded by Hockey cards. Dont judge me. Here is what we have so far: Brian Campbell a mortal lock to return to Chicago on a short term deal. Alexander Radulov to the Habs on a one or two year deal. Ahem. Wings resign Darren Helm 5 years, just under 20 million. Way too much for too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was walking around my new street and seeing everyone else has kids my twins age and how awesome it is. But ill throw on the ticker in a bit to run in the background.

yave1964 Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 Andrew Ladd 7 year deal with the Islanders. Nice replacement for Okposo. Do they still ave enough to keep Neilson now? Backes rumored going home to St. Louis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR Ewing Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Lucic signs with Edmonton. 7 years, $42M, $6M AAV. -Term is longer than you like, but you don't get the top UFA by giving him too little security. -Dollars aren't horrific, and represent a lower percentage of the cap than his last contract. -Addresses a need the Oilers have had for as long as I can remember.

yave1964 Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 Lucic to Edmonto to replace Hall. Team with Larsson and Lucic will be harder to play. David Perron going back to the Blues on a two year deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yave1964 Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 frans Nielson to the Wings six year deal. Love this guy, have been saying I would love to see him with the Wings. Great signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yave1964 Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 Backes changed mind, signs 5 year deal with the Bruins. Rumor is the B's are shopping Krejci now for a top defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yave1964 Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 Eric Staal to the Wild on a cheap three year deal. Good signing. Dale Weise and his tough play to the Flyers. GREAT signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJgoal Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 The Staal deal is pretty good given a lot of the numbers flying around. Reimer looks like the heir apparent in Florida, no? I'd imagine they see if Reimer returns to form behind a capable team for a season, and if so, Luongo at 38 gets exposed to expansion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yave1964 Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 Jason Chimera cheap solid under the radatr signing for the Isles- two years. Chris Stewart to the Wild not a ton in the tank but with he and Staal they will be harder to play nightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yave1964 Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 Steady David Schlemko leaves New Jersey to play on bottom pair in San Jose. Good signing. Jamie McGinn 3 years for 10 million from the 'Yotes. Overpay. trying to get to the floor. Ben Lovejoy 3 years with the Devils replacing Schlemko.

yave1964 Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 The Wings are in conversation with Kris Versteeg as a middle six winger, it would allow them to deal Nyquist or Tatar for the needed defenseman. Hear the Wings are VERY much in on Shattenkirk. Cost would be insane but worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yave1964 Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 Backup goalies flying off the shelf, the latest is Johan Gustafsson signs as a pro backup to Talbot in Edmonton, and Montoya is a brilliant signee for the Habs who went down faster than the Titanic when Price went down. Both solidify weaknesses from last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yave1964 Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 Just now, J0e Th0rnton said: If Hall got Larsson, what does Nyquist or Tatar fetch? lol, an autographed puck signed by Don Cherry. Not much. I have been bouncing around on here all day, the Wings are in on Fowler and on Shattenkirk and I would consider today a huge win if we add one fo them. Not happy about the Darren Helm deal, way too much for way too long, but Nielsen is a long time favorite of mine, the consumate 2C. Just hoping Holland adds the top pair blueliner we desperately need...... Good signing by your boys, under the radar, Schlemko had a hell of a year in New Jersey and will fit nicely on the bottom pair, maybe even as a 4.

J0e Th0rnton Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 "Schlemko-Demelo" has a great sound to it. I like the signing. but...... David Schlemko is a left handed defenseman who does not play right side......... So which of Paul Martin or Brenden Dillon are being traded from the sharks? Martin can play right side, but then who will cover for Burns? No reason to deactivate Vlasic's newfound offensive touch by putting him on Burns' left. Hope someone takes Dillon off our hands because I have been annoyed with his decline in play after leaving Dallas for the Sharks. I suspect Demelo, a solid puck mover, will take over bottom pair right side. Dillon/Polak was a trainwreck in the finals. Mind you, Martin/Burns didn't look so hot either. https://twitter.com/zakkthebear/status/748927387371393024/photo/1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like many 2nd line C's, He is not a main fantasy team player, but he is a solid pickup in case of an injury and produces in all situations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yave1964 Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 Pittsburgh has retooled- Their AHL team. Chad Ruhwedel, Sestito, Gaunce, Warsofsky and Stuart Percy all signed, will likely play at SWB most of the year. Percy and Ruhwedel have the best shot at breaking through.
