Rangers is Blackwell, but may have made a trade for Giordano.

Rather trade York or Frost? Because Seattle is not taking any salary unless you give them the equivalent of a top prospect/1st. Probably the same asking price for any other team w/ cap space right now.

GM's ought to freeze out Francis when he comes looking for trades to strengthen his roster....drive prices down by not dealing with him and getting them desperate to find some talent if they are going to take this approach.

If all of these rumors are true, I'm actually glad. The NHL and their billionaire owners deserve what they get. They somehow convinced the NHLPA to vote in favor of a hard cap to protect themselves from themselves and now they're angry because Francis is playing them? Cap ruined the game, IMO. Can't even recall off the top of my head when any team in the NHL "bought" a Cup through free agency when there wasn't a cap. And yes, I'm salty. Not because I begrudge billionaires for being billionaires (good for them), but because they made the best the sport in the world not fun, IMO.

Thanks! Seattle drafted some good players here, signed Oleksiak and Larsson, drafted Eberle, Tanev, Dunn, Gourde, Donskoi, Giordano and Pitlick. They are going to be a tough team to play against, that is for sure, and they are only just getting started.

Drat, I think Seattle already has a better top 4 defense than the Flyers

Thanks.

Guessing Lou had to induce them to take Eberle. Wouldn't be surprised if they got something to take Gourde, too.

If teams can use Seattle cap space by giving them young assets some teams will bite. Makes for an interesting couple of days…

If they didn't install the cap and gain some cost certainty .. there would be no NHL to talk about today! This is really not looking at the entire picture here.
