Nah, that was whining on our board. The Oil board is RAGE!!!

True. It rivals the StanBow rage on here. If/when they announce that Mike Smith is signed for two more years, I'm pretty sure Hockeybuzz will have to shut down for maintenance.

Giordano 6.75M
Dreidger 3.5M
Larsson 4M
Oleksiak ??? maybe 3M
McCann 2.9M
Tanev ??? 3.5M

There's 24M in cap space. Can't see Seattle selecting Connolly, deHaan or Z, all ranging from 3.5-4.5M. Gaudette at 1M a likely choice.

edit - also looks like Donskoi from Colorado at 3.9M

It will be interesting what trades they have up their sleeve after their initial roster is set.

No Hawk selection yet.

Ducks lost Hayden Fleury.

A lot can still change, but if the Kraken take De Haan, the Hawks blueline is looking pretty damn young and inexperienced. i.e.

Murphy 28 yr
Zadorov 26 yr
Kalynuk 24 yr
Jones 24 yr
Stillman 23 yr
Mitchell 22 yr
Boqvist 20 yr

Sounds like the Kraken went really off board with their pick from the Blackhawks. Don’t have the specific name yet, but told it’s not someone you’d expect.

I'm sure the fans in Seattle will say "I thought he was a goalie".

I hope there is a side deal for one of the many LD that Seattle has chosen (Soucy or Dunn preferred) coming to the hawks. That being the hold up, pure wishful thinking!

Also, Zadorov's camp has not yet heard anything (per Pope), so it is likely not him.

Anton Lindholm, the throw in to the Saad-Zadorov trade. Stan loses him for nothing. #ASF

I've got $1.00 that says not all these leaks are accurate.

Quenneville is my guess

Pirri after his strong showing at the worlds

I thought him too.

Big spender!

Hearing that the #Blackhawks will in fact have a player taken by Seattle tonight, although sources tell me the Kraken reached out to league offices to see if they could “pass”

From Mario Tirabassi

We aren't losing anything valuable, nor does Seattle want our poop.

Hearing a rumor that Seattle will take (or I suppose at this point, has taken) Jordan Eberle from the Islanders. We shall see tonight...

Wonder if/what the Isles are giving Seattle to take Eberle from them (more cap relief)

Last line was me, but the quote was real. Guess everyone complained for nothing.

And here we are arguing about Kampf vs Gaudete.

Honestly, there isn't much on the board to be too surprised with them going off the board. The only picks that would be surprising to me are Richardinson or Lindholm.

Also from Tirabassi:

If you're not picking up that this is satire, I don't know what to tell you.

This is why we can't have nice things.
