The NHL Thread

Ya rumblings of something big, but definition of big up for debate, haha

And Ekblad running it back 8 x 6.1M

Thank god not going to the Leafs!

Do they have any cap room for Brad ? He may go back to Boston

Oilers sign Bouchard 4 years 42 Million crazy for a one dimensional player

lol oilers

8 years 12 million per for Marner to Vegas being reported.

Also, the Maple Leafs have re-signed Steven Lorentz to a 3 year deal, 1.35 million AAV

Coming in fast and furious, boys!

Brad Marchand is staying with the Panthers on a 6 year deal.

Mariner is a Knightin a sign and trade 8 years 12 mill a year

Cup favorites

any time you can sign a 37 year old to a 6-year contract, you gotta do it

in other news canucks apparently re-signing gimp ass demko for some reason
and they just gave lankinen $23m
and silovs just won the calder cup
so no idea what the plan is there or who's the odd man out
can't imagine silovs wants to be in the ahl again next season

Who do we have as top three cup Favourites

I hope Marner has success in Vegas

Gotta love that Florida doesn't even feel the need for plausible deniability on that Marchand LTIRetirement deal. I think he's a favourite to spend more time on LTIR than playing

Ice Cats 3 peat incoming

Saw the Demko thing and thought 72off is going to lose his s!@#. 😉😃

Leafs Leafs and Leafs😆

ok ok this very moment

Florida, Edmonton, Leafs, depending on what the train wrecks, Edmonton and Toronto are still doing.

Nope I have Florida , Vegas than Edmonton

yeah well i mean other than the devils who kept spamming cheat contracts for kovalchuk after they were told to stop, the canucks are the only team who's ever been punished for that, so i'm not surprised they aren't at all worried about it

i don't really care enough anymore to be mad about it, more confused really. would guess that they're planning on trading demko still, or he's still injured or something, idk. haven't heard what their thinking is there

Well, that was today. We still have tomorrow, and see who picks up who in free agency.

So odds that Pieternagelo magically heals by game 1 of the playoffs?

I'd love to see a market for this. I think I'd lean NO

1 more interesting tidbit,

Patrick Kane stays in Detroit on a 1 year contract extension worth $3M in base salary and up to $4M in potential bonus payments.
Bonus breakdown:
$2.5M for 10 games played
$250,000 each for 30 and 50 games played
$500,000 for reaching playoffs
$250,000 for Round 1 win
$250,000 for Round 2 win

i thought they closed the ltir loophole?

They did not

But they will probably look to close it at the next GM meeting.

New CBA does not take effect until 2026=27 season where there will be a salary cap in the playoffs.
