26CornerBlitz Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 (edited) If Markov-quality Dmen start getting $6MM per, that's a nice boost to Ehrhoff's trade value at $4MM. Even more true with the cap continuing to increase with revenues on the rise. More news from Bobby Mac @TSNBobMcKenzie CGY and pending UFA Mike Cammalleri still talking contract. Term, more than $, would appear to be the issue. #TSN COL shopping winger P.A. Parenteau. Two years left on his deal at $4M per year. #TSN Whatever CBJ plans on doing, it needs to resolve R.J. Umberger situation first. Umberger asked for trade in May. 3 more yrs at $4.5M per. CBJ's last resort would be to buy out Umberger but Jackets hopeful there is a market for him. Remains to be seen the financial implications. ANA big-game hunting for a C (Kesler/Spezza etc) to play behind Getzlaf. Well positioned to make a move: 8 NHL D and plethora of prospects. BOS another team with 8 NHL D, likely to move at least one. Getting UFA Iginla signed is also a priority that affects nature of other moves.

LGR4GM Posted June 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Even more true with the cap continuing to increase with revenues on the rise. More news from Bobby Mac @TSNBobMcKenzie Col could use Ehrhoff and PA would be a decent addition to our right side for a couple years. Wonder if something could be done. Guess we will wait and see. Colorado holds the 23rd overall pick in the 2014 NHL draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 (edited) Pay close attention Doug and learn what moves you should not make: @StapeNewsday #Isles also announce Doug Weight named assistant GM, will remain assistant coach as well. Had been special advisor to GM. @StapeNewsday #Isles also officially add Bob Corkum as an assistant coach. Was basically one last season, now it's official.

26CornerBlitz Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 (edited) @TSNBobMcKenzie CHI has told Michal Handzus it is going in a different direction. Big veteran Slovak centre will be going to UFA. #TSN DAL made an offer to pending UFA C Vern Fiddler but it was rejected. Stars believe Fiddler is going to UFA. #TSN Edited June 16, 2014 by 26CornerBlitz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 First compliance buyout: @TSNBobMcKenzie: DAL puts Aaron Rome on unconditional ($125) waivers for purposes of enacting a buyout. Only player on waivers today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 @TheFourthPeriod: The Kings will have decisions to make on pending UFAs Greene & Mitchell, and want to re-sign Gaborik. They're not buying out Richards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 @TSNBobMcKenzie CAR G Cam Ward has full NTC but under right circumstances it's believed he'll waive. In any case, consider him available/expendable in CAR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 @TSNBobMcKenzie: However much salary cap increases, DET won't be able to take full advantage. Wings have more than $3M in bonus overage carrying forward. It's believed the Devils and Bruins also have more than $3 mill in bonuse overage.

LGR4GM Posted June 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Nope. Isn't the 13-14 season officially over with the end of the SCF? I'd say Monday would be a good day to start the new one. Let some of the buyouts pass and such, they are really end of 2014 moves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 I suggested re-opening my offseason thread. The new league year doesn't actually start until July 1st, tho. Cool. That's what I wasn't sure about. Kind of odd to have the draft before the new league year begins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Cool. That's what I wasn't sure about. Kind of odd to have the draft before the new league year begins.

Hoss Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Makes sense to me since the draft is based on the results of the season that just ended. Didn't think of that. Smart. I'm assuming they also want the draft to be done so teams can focus on free agency and trades more afterwards. Unlike the NFL they don't use the draft as a giant spectacle.

Praise jeebus for that last part. Creating a spectacle around players nobody will see for three years would be nauseating. At least NFL picks you're probably going to see during the season in some capacity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IKnowPhysics Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Now, I'm no Kings fan, but this headline/article is a great example of how LA hockey gets muted in national coverage. "Kings center Kopitar proves to be elite player" http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=722739&cmpid=nhl-fb Just now? Now he proves himself to be an elite player? After winning two cups? That's what it takes to be recognized by the league beat writers? He was taken 11th overall. He put up 60 points his rookie year, back in 2006-2007. His sophomore year he netted 32 goals and 77 points. He just finished up his eighth season, over which his career regular season average is 74 points. He doesn't fail to bring it in the playoffs either. 60 points in 70 playoff games, going a full point per game pace in the Kings' Cup years. When I caught my first Kings game in 2010, I was like "who the ###### is this guy and why have I never heard his name before??" Four years later, and eight years into his career, I guess the NHL staff writers finally decided to let the cat out of the bag.

Hoss Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 @JSportsnet: Expect the NHL to have only 2 outdoor games during the 2014-15 NHL Regular season. We know 1 is in DC. Thank The Lord. @renlavoietva: Dale Weise and the Canadiens are close to a deal. It won't surprise me if a confirmation comes Tuesday. #tvasports I think 26 is right. Time for a new thread. Should we have a free agency thread and then a miscellaneous offseason thread for trades, etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll start the free agent frenzy off with some links and tidbits here in a second. There is already an offseason thread if somebody wants to unlock it.
