Around the NHL: 2016 Offseason

24hrs to go before Barrie's arbitration hearing.    tick-tock

 

If it gets there, I'll say he gets awarded $5.1-5-5 mil and COL chooses a 2 year deal.

 

The hope is they award him 6 or 6+ which COL might balk at.

Looks like ARI and Stone settled on a 1 year $4mil deal, so they avoid arbitration.

 

Only 2 arbitration hearings still on schedule... Tyson Barrie 7/29 and Martin Marincin 8/02.

Nashville got Calle Jarkrok for six years at $2 mill per. That's a great AAV for the team. Long term for a guy like him but worth getting the big discount.

 

Speaking if Nashville, did you guys see they launched their own "capgeek" type page on their web site? http://predators.nhl.com/club/page.htm?id=88111&navid=DL|NSH|home

 

Wonder if all NHL teams will have one once the league re-designs all the club websites in September?

Oh, Bobby Ryan.

 

God bless you, sir.

 

What a beautiful tribute to his mom, here:

I made the dubious choice to read this while on the can at work. There's  now someone in my building who probably thinks I went into that stall to cry.

Can you spare a square? I'm a bit misty myself after that read. Thanks for linking that incredible tribute by a son to his mother.

Amazeballz.


Have to think this is a mutual breakup. I would love to add Vermette as a vet, especially if we don't land Vesey

 

He was pretty universally hated over on the 'yotes forum.  Viewed much the same as we view Moulson, perhaps worse.

Vermette was our worst foward for a good part of the season. He has lost 2 or 3 steps in the last year or so and he isn't nearly as good defensively as he once was. Obviously on paper it looks like he had a decent year but most his points came on the power play. He no longer is a solid penalty killer and he was absolutely brutal 5 on 5 before Tangauy came over at the deadline. If Strome or Dvorak comes in and plays up to even half of their potential then we are in a much better position without Vermette. Vermette has declined to a 4th line f/o specialist. Don't let the point totals fool you!

 

Got this quote from HF boards, seems Legwand is the better option if true :p

I'd take Legwand for another year. We could certainly do worse. He was another coach out there; always talking and instructing.

 

GO SABRES!!!
