Oilers talking RNH to STL for Shattenkirk. STL wants Eberle or Hall.

Watched a two year old Cam Fowler highlight clip on youtube, but closed it after 38 seconds because the music was .

Word is Kane was holding a piece of paper in his hands when he ran out of the bar. #ThePlotThickens

I would also trade Casey Nelson (a RHD) and a 5th for Yakupov.

I would do Ennis to EDM for Yakupov and the 32 pick. And maybe a 7th.

So I let this one loose on r/hockey, and they're shitting themselves. Do we have any more info on this? Twitter handle of that guy?

Penis McGuire thinks that Stamkos is either signed or traded today. 2:30ish. http://www.tsn.ca/radio/ottawa-1200/mcguire-expect-breaking-news-on-stamkos-today-1.514565

IT'S HAPPENING

Concussion only clouds his value, but doesn't yet diminish it for me before he's fully evaluated in games. Before the concussion, Ennis finished top five in Sabres scoring every year he played (mostly top three), including an injury-shortened season. At full strength, he's a guaranteed top-six guy on any team, and that straight up pick-for-veteran-player value is a first-half-of-first-round pick, 9-14. The obvious question is: does the concussion cloud diminish actual trade value, and if so, how much. It's a question of risk vs reward for the GM who's trading the pick for Ennis. It'd be easier for a GM to manage risk in a two-for-two package trade instead of a straight up one-for-one. But unless Ennis has become somehow secretly devalued by Bylsma, the medical staff, or the presence of upcoming young forwards on the roster, I don't think it makes sense to trade one-for-one. Nobody knows his value and risking what he's worth healthy -an earlier first round pick- would be a large gamble by an opposing GM.

He could be fooling himself or saying what he thinks he needs to say to get back on the ice.

I'm not quick to join the -on-Ennis wagon. I think we should retain his potential skill... for now... unless something huge is on the table. But Pysyk plus Zemgus for Fowler I would do in a heartbeat, and I like both those guys. Fowler is a much better and much more seasoned Dman at the same age as Pysyk. The upgrade cost is Zemgus, who plays a great style of game, but lost his way a little, either under Bylsma or with the influx of young centers. Zemgus has become less valuable to us, but maybe not to other teams, and in this scenario could end up a win-win for ANA and BUF. A low round pick (4-6) to Buffalo would lube this trade up to be a no brainer.

Well, Vincent was done in circumstantially by his own doing. Vincent was on the can when he got shot. Why? Heroin makes you constipated. Otherwise, he's likely locked and loaded when Butch gets home.

All other non-cap things aside: VAN has $10.4M, DET has $14.6M (but only 13 players signed) cap space free. They'd likely both have to jimmy things around to make everything work out. Meanwhile, we have >$24M free with 14 players signed.

I wrote that into my post, then backed off, because there wasn't an easy way to prove that I wouldn't be at the draft and starting it myself. I won't be at the draft. I wholly expect one.
