Jeremy Laura: Detroit extends Vrana 3 yrs, 5.25M AAV

Eh, not bad, I was expecting a tick below $5M. But 3years is good, 1 of his FA years. Now Stevie can concentrate on Power Forward Adam Erne and Defensive Stalwart Filip Hronek!!

Right? Now we’re the third lowest payroll! Only Buffalo and Ottawa are showing lower on capfriendly at this point

Isn't that pathetic? Buffalo has had 8 years in a row with a top 10 pick, including two #1's and two #2's and they're still at the cap floor? I feel bad for their fans. The NHL should force the owners to sell.

Go target Pettersson for 8.2m AAV. Makes it a 1, 2 and 3. We have Washington's 2nd from the Mantha deal already and 3 4th rounders. Worth the risk.

I would give up a lot for that young man. If Yzerman pulled that trigger, i wouldn’t be whining

I’m glad they added the new “limit” on lotto picks. It’s really rough to see someone get such incredible lotto luck and get nowhere with it

Honestly offer the contract to him and when matched do the same contract to Hughes. Back them into a corner.

It does, but then do it to Hughes. Force the Nucks hand.

Also just realized the Leddy pick was Raty. Makes me sit uneasy a bit. Even though we had multiple chances at him.

If a team seriously wanted a shot, it would cost four firsts. Even then….

Thanks to everyone who drops in. Still amazes me to see you all here. Very grateful

Hughes cannot be offered an offer sheet.

Dan Byslma signs with Kracken as AHL assistant coach. He will be in Charlotte with the Checkers.

Couldn't be happier he is gone. Having a young stacked Pens team is his claim to fame.
