Hoss Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Well, the official league year isn't over but there's already going to be a TON of moves/talk for what is gearing up to be an exciting year in the NHL. Likely the final year that the league has 30 teams, so let's have some fun. To start it off: Blackhawks use Teravainen to dump Bickell, wow! Carolina Hurricanes @NHLCanes [NEWS] #Canes acquire Teuvo Teravainen and Bryan Bickell from Chicago.

WildCard Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 (edited) Glenn Gulutzan is likely the Flames new HC A native of The Pas, Manitoba, Gulutzan has been with the Canucks since 2013, when he left the Dallas Stars system to join Vancouver after being relieved as head coach of the Stars. Aside from his three years of experience with Vancouver and his two years as a head coach in Dallas, the former ECHL Las Vegas Wranglers bench boss has had no experience at the NHL level – so if he is indeed the new head coach in Calgary, he will come in as one of the league’s newer faces. http://www.todaysslapshot.com/from-the-ice/report-glen-gulutzan-hired-flames-head-coach/ Edited June 15, 2016 by WildCard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoss Posted June 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Um. It's not next season yet. This season is over. Every single move made at this point has absolutely no impact on 2015-16, according to my sources. Do what you will, but this makes sense to me. I don't really care, though. I mean "Um, (insert text above here)." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drunkard Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Seems like a steep price to offload just one year of Bickell.. Definitely. Hopefully the cap remaining flat keeps cap space at a premium and we can take advantage of teams in the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 That Hurricanes deal seems crazy. I know that they are taking salary but they can with how low they are. I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Aud Smell Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 (edited) Thanks, mods. My only regret: I think my favourite post (of my own) in recent memory is marooned in the 2015-2016 season thread. I'll hafta copy and paste it here, I suppose. We're going to start a thread to discuss it. Hold on a sec. :w00t: +++ Okay, here's my jerry-rigged attempt at carrying over what I enjoyed about the very end of the 2015-2016 Season thread. PA It doesn't matter what anyone said. We'll all wait until the holidays to revise and extend our opinions. A lot of master politicians around here (and baiters). Smell Like fans are obliged to stay committed to their expectations. Set them in stone. To what end? So Team Storm Cloud leaders can smile in self-satisfaction at all the emo-carnage when things don't go as expected? I don't hold myself out as a pundit or prognosticator. I'm a fan. I want to have fun watching the team. I will set my expectations accordingly. PA That's all fine. And dandy. The problem is denying the previous expectations. Smell Well, that can be annoying, I guess. My advice to everyone: Feel free to proceed more or less as follows: Training Camp: WOO-HOO! GM TM is a GOD. I can't believe he managed to swing the deal(s) for ____________ and also bring in ___________. WE'RE GONNA WIN THAT CUP. WE'RE GONNA WIN THAT STANLEY CUP. ME AND THE BUFFALO SABRES, YEAH YEAH YEAH. 20 Games in: Mmmaaannn. They should be better than this. Oh, well. At least _________ are looking terrific. 40 Games in: BOOM. I KNEW it. I KNEW they had a ______ winning streak in them! PLAYOFFS OR BUST, BABY! 60 Games in: Well, they are what they are at this point. A playoff bubble team. Tellin' ya: They really started taking on water after the injury/-ies to ________________ . 80 Games in: You know what? Whatever. This was a fun season. The most fun I've had watching the Sabres in a decade. The team is headed in the right direction. They don't control their own destiny, sure. But they could still sneak in with a wildcard so long as ____________ loses tonight and then its last two games after that. GO SABRES!
