Chris Stewart back to Minnesota #wild 2 years totals $2.3 million

That's the first bargain of the off-season (aside for Soupy).

ACtually less

A Rundblad buyout would leave the #Blackhawks with a $133K cap hit this year and a $183K cap hit next year.
- hawkeytalkman

Why buy him out (except to save Rocky a little Dady)?

$1.050 contract ending this year - only $150,000 against the sap this year, if they bury him somewhere - nothing next year.

Blues have subtracted:
- Elliott
- Backes
- Brouwer

Added:
- Perron.

Lovely. #stlblues
- hawkeytalkman

Add Shattenkirk to that list too. Have to see what he brings back. It's said Sobotka is coming back from Russia...Cap era, how much less worse can you get from year to year.

#Blackhawks sign minor-league forwards Sam Carrick and Pierre-Cedric Labrie to one-year deals.

Minor moves.. Was Sam Carrick the one some wanted signed?
- dstainer

No that was Connor Carrick. Sam Carrick is more 'competitive depth' to take to camp.

Interested to see where Martin and Russell go.

Elliotte Friedman ‏@FriedgeHNIC 23s23 seconds ago
Chad Johnson to CAL. One year deal
- hawkeytalkman

Calgary has a much better tandem in net now with Elliot and Chad Johnson

I'm glad to hear PC Labrie is back in Rockford!

He still eats a roster/contract spot between Rockford/Chicago

if he is going to be a sulky kid, you dont want him in either location or taking up a roster spot for either team

As per @Real_ESPNLeBrun, Ben Lovejoy to NJD for three year deal.

Blues have signed Allen to a four-year, $17.4 million contract ($4.35 AAV).

Then load him to Sweden.

Lucic tells Sportsnet he thinks Edmonton's new arena will be the "best in the world."

apparently this has been a huge selling point for them lately.

This new arena is LEGIT as hell and has awed everyone who has seen it. PLayers and execs alike

- kmw4631

Sounds like too much work. Easier to just eat the $30K this year.

Then load him to Sweden.
- kmw4631

Maybe he wants to try to get on another team (AHL) and Stan is obliging.

- hawkeytalkman

I thought Elliot was a good fit for them. Bishop, not so much, considering what they supposedly offered. Good bargain for Elliot

Then load him to Sweden.
- kmw4631

It still eats a contract spot because they still got hit with his "bury hit" while he was over there

Wow. Just heard Campbell turned down one year deal for $5 million with Panthers #really

Doesn't sound like LA Kings will buyout Matt Greene after all.

Odd

why drag a guy through the mud and that process then?

Oh thats right, its Dean Lombardi, hes done much worse (Mike Richards)

I'm glad to hear PC Labrie is back in Rockford!

Horsehead rides again!

Gustafsson has more promise than Svedberg. He just gets the Leddy treatment from Q. Wrecked confidence.
- JRoenick97

What type of treatment should the mouth breather get? Should Q have given him some milk and cookies for his giveaway vs STL??

bollocks

I don't think Smith-Pelly would ever end up in Rock. I think he'd have a spot SOMEWHERE on this team...wing at which line? No idea. He played great for New Jersey at the end of last year.
- kwolf68

I 100% agree - it would just be nice to sign him for low enough where if he didn't work out for some reason it wouldn't effect the cap if we did have to send him down.
