This makes the expansion draft interesting with Kulikov, Risto, McCabe and Bogo. I'm going to think Bogo is the one they expose of those four if they're all here.

Basically we traded up in the second then swapped Pysyk for Kulikov. I really like it. Cheap price to pay and we still have a plethora of forwards and picks to deal if we need to.

Pysyk, 38, 89 for Kulikov and 33

Friedman: Hearing Kulikov to BUF. Not sure of return yet. McKenzie: BUF is sending Mark Pysyk and picks to FLA for Dmitri Kulikov.

He can't be signed until July 1st. Why not?

Yerdon: Sabres' top-three guys they thought they might get at their pick were Juolevi, Sergachev, and Nylander. Juolevi highest rated in that bunch.

I'm sure Stamkos' agent is happy his inte got plastered in the media.

This is what every GM has been saying yesterday and today. I don't believe that they haven't gotten close, at all.

Dreger did indeed say that.

I'll be there with a few friends. Work in the early afternoon.

10 a.m. and yes, it'll be on NHL Network. (And I'll be there)

"At a place called vertigo YOURSELF U2!" 18 and 79 from Philly to Winnipeg for 22 and 36.

I don't think trading Datsyuk changes a thing. There was never going to be a problem moving cap space if Stamkos wanted to join Detroit.

Dante Fabbro goes first overall in the "Prospects Who Kiss Their Mothers on the Lips" draft I would rather listen to Nickelback than U2... And I absolutely LOATHE Nickelback But yes, I think Chychrun is a better prospect than Keller. Elliotte Friedman @FriedgeHNIC PHI up to something...

As bad as that trade was I think Arizona got a better player at 16 than 7.

No, seriously, that's the worst trade I've seen in years. No. I keep thinking about it. It is. That's an absolutely BRUTAL trade for the Yotes. They move up four spots, give up a second to take back a $5.5M contract ($7.5M cap hit but $5.5M in owed money).

Datsyuk and 16 to Arizona for Joe Vitale, 2016 1st (20) and a 2nd. That's a TERRIBLE trade for Arizona. WTF!?

Craig Custance @CraigCustance Coyotes acquiring Detroit's pick.

Darren Dreger @DarrenDreger Red Wings up to something. Red Wings have traded their pick. Chychrun is my guess.

Nick Kypreos @RealKyper Continued talk from @NHL draft floor @DallasStars working @TBLightning for Bishop. Stars needs TB to take a goalie back in the deal

Darren Dreger @DarrenDreger Activity near the stage. Another trade coming. Looks like picks. Bettman announces. Devils trade 11 to Ottawa for 12 and a 3rd (80).

"Terrible" isn't the word here.

Ryan Rishaug @TSNRyanRishaug Sounds like the Oilers were going to take a Dman at 4 before the suprise happened at 3

Jost to Colorado. Still a big fan of him.
