Erick Huala just traded to Nashville from New Jersey, I beleive it was a 4th round pick that went to NJ, I bet they are freeing up salary to do something big

For Nashville this is weird, another aging forward who was very bad last year

This is wild

I don't find Nashville getting Haula for cheap as weird. He'd be a bottom 6 upgrade here. Why not get him for next to nothing if you have the cap room? Flip him later if you want. He's a utilitarian player.

I confess to not knowing much about Zetterlund’s game. He is built like a tank (5’11” and 220 lbs). Does he play a heavy game or a good two way game. His offensive numbers are very similar to Jack Quinn’s.

Heavy game from what I remember, no idea about his 2way effectiveness. I've seen some Sens reporters putting him with Cozens and Batherson in mock lineups.

Remember liking his game watching him play against the Amerks with Utah.

He's two years older and this is his 3rd contract, buying one UFA year, but statistically he's a Jack Quinn comparable.

Other than the top guys, don't give players 8yr deals.

They think he's a Marcus Foligno type. And he's had some glimpses of good production on a 3rd line.

With some of their older contracts off the books this summer (Perry, Kapanen, Brown) he will have a solid spot in the middle 6. Statistically, he could make it a good deal for at least 5 of the next 8 seasons.

They're following the Tampa way with the oddly long-term Nicholas Paul and Yanni Gourde deals. (Or the Muel...)

Matt Duschene resign in Dallas, 4 year 18 million total. 

They forsure need to cut cap somehow

[dudacek]

That Ryan Donato contract seems favourable for the McLeod talks.

He's older an was a pending UFA, so it's not a direct comparable.

But as career 3rd-line centre who suddenly broke out, its something.
