Wonder if we were on his list of suitable teams he would go too

Not sure. But St Louis is on it, despite not being in playoffs either.

Solid replacement for Talbo

Never mind, it was in error. My French needs work. I thought it said Armstrong on the way to Philly, instead he's not traveling to Philly

Damn PCS

Just edited last post, noticed that. Even still look at his shot totals. And his PPP points quadrupled.
Did Pittsburgh win that deal, probably just because Neal could good more with Malkin/Crosby than with Dallas, but I really don't think they got fleeced.

Just ask any Stars fan what they think of that deal.

I feel like St. Louis is on everyone's list. Not sure why. Suppose it's a mix of climate, Yzerman, and playing with a few superstars/up-and-comers.

Condition for Bruins pick to be upgraded to 1st rounder in Jagr trade is Boston winning two rounds.

I mean the Blues being on Bouwmeester's list of teams he'd waive his NTC for

It would be great to see them lose in the third round.

Regardless.. he was a top line forward with Dallas who saw his gpg increase each year.. from 24 to 27 to 30 to 40.

You can't just prorate his 3rd season like he didn't play at all for the Pens

24 to 27 to 22 to 40 with the Pens.

So is defense not on the docket until the offseason or is this a depth move to acquire a d-man?

That move confuses me.. with the amount of money they are gonna need to spend this offseason... adding 6.8 in Bowmeeeeester is odd.

Buyout candidate?

its gpg (goals per game). He scored 1 goal with the Pens.. 21 in 59 games with the Stars.

Buyout candidate?

possible.. but seems like a pretty tough pill to swallow

Bouwmeester is a good defenseman. You can never have enough.

Stewart and Shattenkirk having big years.. AP is gonna get a hefty raise, Jake Allen's emergence and pending RFA status.. plus the other 22 people.

Finally got your gear off, eh? Might want to hit the showers for a couple days.

I misplaced my change of clothes, but I was able to locate them.

This is much more fun with company.

I agree. I didn't expect Jagr to fetch a huge haul. That said he will help Boston.

Dallas is either going to get a first-round (if Bruins wins two rounds) or 2nd round (if they don't) pick and two prospects with NHL upside in exchange for a 41-year-old rental who wasn't going to re-sign. They did well for themselves.

And Homer will swoop in like a hawk and offer sheet them into oblivion.

I agree.. and he will be a huge boost for that team, but with his cap hit and the crop of FA's that are due for pretty significant raises.. its alarming. They could potentially have 25 mil on the blue line alone next season.

Calgary should take some notes
