I understand the PK Weber trade. I think Bergevin's a tool, but I get it.

The other one... Christ..

I don't see Weber retiring early... demand a trade maybe

So what crazy poop happens today ?

i don't necessarily blame her since she didn't really grow up around hockey.. When they were good she would watch the games with me.. now when i put the games on she goes to a different room and does something else.

McDavid demandes a trade, Crosby retires, and Carey Price switches to playing wing.

If this were to happen, is the cap hit moveable, like Datsyuk, Pronger, and Savard? If history tells us anything, there's always a team looking to get to the cap floor and willing to take it on.

I absolutely can. With his style he just may not have it at 35-36 years old. He'll be making squat at the end of his deal.

I don't believe it is since Nasvhille no longer has Shea Weber and you cant trade a cap Recapture, I don't think.

i can't see him playing to age 40

It's a crappy situation for Nashville, but what could they do? The only thing that would have prevented that from happening would have been to sign him prior to July 1st so he couldn't get an offer sheet, and that's not always something a player will do.

Started back reading the comments from around 4pm yesterday. Of course Stamkos and the trades were the big news, but how about Seth Jones signing for 6 years $32.4m? I think that is a great deal and we should offer Risto the same exact deal. Does anyone think it should be more/less? I think that really set the bar.

You could be right, but I'm not sure how it works with the recapture penalty. None of those guys were designated to have that type of contract (at the time). It's a newer concept. And Datsyuk isn't retired, he's just playing in the KHL now.

I'm not so sure they have to yet.

I just saw how long his contract was until... i retract my previous uninformed statement.

But just that one.

I have no idea what the answer to that question is, which is why I asked it. It wouldn't surprise me either way.

Not to mention the last 4 years of his deal only pays him $6MM dollars.

Right, but all he has to do is "not retire". If he doesn't "have it", I would imagine he would force the Canadiens to buy him out. It's only if he voluntarily leaves that it becomes an issue.

apparently the Oilers wanted Risto for Hall, but settled for Adam Larsson?

Sounds to me that Chiarelli was dead set on trading Hall to the team that would give him its best defenseman.

Hall is a great player in all but i don't make that trade. if it were any other dman, sure

I said that awhile back, that wasn't going to happen.

not much incentive for him to keep playing if he is physically breaking down
