Sunshine before you start crapping on our porch. You better hose down your porch first. The Blue Skirts have had their fair share of crappy contracts...Brad Richards, Redden, Girradi, Staal, The Queen, Smith, Sh!tinkirk. You can add DeAngelo to the list.

Clutterbuck still has value so keep him for the one year. Put Ladd on LTIR for the year and then, miraculous recovery for playoffs!

I think the target is going to be Uncle Leo, to move.

I think Leddy will be the player taken in the expansion draft.

I trade Eberle and Bellows to Calgary for Matthew Tkachuk

I resign Palmairi

Jets would likely take Ladd back if you send Pulock along with him!! (Fat chance, but here's hoping Uncle Lou is feeling frisky!! LOL)

That tkachuck trade is absurd and never happening. Plus his cap hit will be $9-$10m

Partner while I admire your ambition.. If Chucky was an Islander there is no way in hell he plays anywhere other than the 1st line.

The Jets don't want or need Ladd. Thankfully he signed that crazy contract with the Islanders rather then resign with the Jets.

Ladd is a POS.

Eberle and Bellows for M. Thachuck!!!!?
Talk about overvaluing your players.

that's a surprising amount of bad cap space for a team that's been so competitive

I went to the Ranger school of trade proposals.

I would prefer him on the 1st line with Barzal and Lee. He would add grit to that line. My only issue is that he and Lee are both LWs. Not sure if he can play the right side. Not sure in Lee can play the right side for that matter.

Terrible news this morning. Matiss Kivlenieks passed away this morning. He was 24.

Goaltender of the blue jackets. A tragic fall.

That was the initial report, but it turns out he was hit by fireworks.

Wonder what the NHL will do with game five. Do they postpone the game or play in Montreal

I assume he's referring to the hurricane or tropical storm bearing down on the west coast of Florida.

Clutterbuck is worth every penny he is getting paid. He was friggin fantastic in the playoffs.. Hits everyone, always gets puck out of zone, kills penalties, drew penalties and generally drove the other team nuts.
