Elliotte Friedman just tweeted this. Pacioretty just can’t seem to find a home. #oldballs

“With LV expected to announce extensions for Smith/Howden, the Golden Knights are a team to watch. Do they clear room? Have heard Max Pacioretty’s name out there.”

Patches has been good in Vegas. But the cap consequences of signing JE continue. What a dumb trade that was.

6 years ago this month. A friendly reminder for all GMs:

Milan Lucic 7 yrs , $42M
Kyle Okposo 7 yrs, $42M
Andrew Ladd 7 yrs, $38.5M
Loui Eriksson 6 yrs, $36M
Frans Nielsen 6 yrs, $31.5M
David Backes 5 yrs, $30M
Troy Brouwer 4 yrs, $18M

Not just a Canuck problem, so it would seem


“Jarome Iginla: got nothing back
Miikka Kiprusoff: retired, got nothing back
Mark Giordano: expansion pick, walked for nothing
Johnny Gaudreau: walked for nothing in free agency

The Calgary Flames and asset management in a nutshell”

Wow!

No Halak?

I think he’s done.

Next summer.

My guess is slow transition. But they do need to figure out Miller/Horvat sooner than later.

Kane re-signs, Malkin re-signs.... re-signing Miller getting better

Did you not just read any of the comments above? Nothings changed. The team has no direction. Just doing the same as the last guy.

No, did you?

Diverse is as diverse does lol

Anyways probably best just to grab 6 forwards for the bottom 6 all making 800-950K as that seems to work great for most teams and gives us super good value on the bottom line. Can figure the rest out. As long as we have picks and prospects to keep circling the drain with all should be good lol

I'd move Miller now and start the full teardown I mean after all...what's another 50 years...

OR you can hang onto him and let him do a Johnny Hockey?

No poop... looking like they are going to tweak the existing roster. JR is trying to calm expectations down among the fan base and media. "We've had no offers for Miller". I'm not sure anyone believes that.

- boonerbuck

I will believe JR and his definition of no offers loonnnggg before I ever believe the complaining in here, and what the talking heads that everyone mocks state.

They’re just one or two veterans away from being a contender.

Oilers, Kane, Connor Brown, not bad.

How do you figure? Rangers are out, NJ are out. Those are the main two teams that had interest that we know of

Anyone of them would do. All 3 would be a pretty good free agent day.

There is still hope for this group. Lol
