There's a strong market for veteran 'D' in free agency: Word is that both Ian Cole and Cody Ceci will get north of $3M annually on their new contracts.

Ceci is leaning towards Edmonton, as @FriedgeHNIC and others have reported, on what's believed to be a four-year term.

This is what you'd call "bad news" for the Isles. They may have to go the trade route for a d-man. If Cody Ceci is signing $3Mx4 deals then the market is (frank)ed

Yikes!
$3m for Ceci?! No thank you. We could have the same result with Hickey. Christ, bring back Brian Straight for $750k. Same production for much less the cost.

The sources are really buzzing today. I've heard from a few people that the Islanders have secured an arena deal and will have a brand new facility located at the Belmont Racetrack

Really? Holy hell, that is big news. Any word on when shovels will hit the ground to start construction?

Yeah if that's the going price for bad defensemen I'd rather just trot Hickey out there every night and look for an upgrade over the course of the season.

Maybe we can still get Leddy back?

Pelech aav will be north of 7 million.

Leafs signing Mrazek, Canes signing Andersen.

Mrazek going from a very good defensive team to....the Leafs. That should work out well

I am hearing construction could start as early as last year

Can Parise still skate? Honest question don’t see many Wild games. I know he is 37 but if he can still skate not the worst pickup

Two seasons ago he put up 25g and 46pts in 69 games. I don't think this is a Chara-level shell-of-himself veteran signing

Why are people so quick to dump Beau into a Tarasenko deal?

Calm down, I don't really mean it.

The good news is you'll still have a reason to post the public skating gif even though Dal Colle's gone.

I don’t want to even hear that guy’s name. It gives me the shudders

Do the Canes have to pay for his therapy? He's gonna need al the pyschologists he can see.

So much for the Cap keeping salaries in check this offseason.

Poor Mzarek.

Lou better sign Murray quick before he gets 5 Mill.

Because they don’t realize that he’s actually going to Montreal for Romanov.

I’m with you on this though I would like to see Palmieri signed along with Komarov not in the lineup. I think a lot diminish the impact that hole Leddy left is going to have on the lineup.

Defense is never a big concern as long as Barry is coaching.

Worst case scenario, Bolduc gets a long hard look.

Yep! Barry will make it work. Leddy is a miss but not critical. Might be critical with Cappy or Doug coaching.

Devils seem to be in on everyone. Hamilton has sure moved around a lot.
