Harbingers

Here is the quote of the article.

Rags, Van, Vegas and Kings are the only big movers left that haven’t made a huge move/realistically have the assets to do so.

Okposo to Florida. No retention… Florida has 300K left in cap. They are done.

Bunting already in Pittsburgh, dude looks sad. No Guentzel sightings yet.

Speaking of.. I’m fine with being done. Yes we could clear more cap but I’d rather have TDA and Lemieux on roster for the playoffs, in case. We all know what the refs let happen to TT’s hand last playoffs. Plus once we are well entrenched in our respective spot if it happens or maybe even if we aren’t. I’d like to see TDA start spelling defensemen with 6-10 games to go on a rotating basis. Slavin, Burns for sure, Skjei, Orlov. Get them fresh.

Which would be odd cause Kuz doesn’t back check with purpose usually and he’s always been mid 40’s in FO wins.

Don’t forget we also get this… not that it matters in the playoffs but we get a guaranteed 1 goal in a shootout now.

Honestly I’m fine standing pat, but Carrier wouldn’t be bad depth. I’m fine with TDA though, him on waivers might be that message to him, “Hey dude, you are thinking too big right now”, if he clears.

Current list

Hardly any mention of him today. I still think his price is too high for anyone.

Maroon to the bruins(ugh).

Toffoli off the table. Jets got him for draft picks. Pickings are getting slim across the board.

Cocaine or lack their of. In all seriousness mdc is right though. Drug habits and mental health that followed. He got help but the caps still felt he needed a move away from DC to help him mentally. Nobody took it until now though.

Still not official official. Maybe the NHL is trying to figure out the buried cap with retention and all that.

Eberle is officially off market. Extended with Seattle.

I’d go what I put above. Kuz will need a solid defensive winger and I don’t want to have to relegate svech to that roll(I’d rather svech be wide open offense with Kuz). Plus Noesen-Drury-Necas jive really well.

IF is the big IF here. He may have had 55 points last year but he was also a -26. Had 17 points this year with a -11… also we still have to cover 4 million next year. Which basically means we are losing another player.

Welp this sounds like a done deal. So probably no Vatrano or Buch. Ebrele is back in talks with Seattle so he’s off market. Hold onto your butts and hide your cocaine(jk).

I hope that was it. I know he was suppose to suit up for Hershey yesterday/today. At 3.9 million that’s a stretch though and would severely handicap us this offseason if he doesn’t pan out…

Honestly, not a fan… he’s been ASSHOLES the past 2 years. He’s currently been demoted to the minors too…

So KK is sitting officially at this point you’d have to think.

Woah… NHL radio just got done talking about how the capitals would buy not sell today too.

Donny Wads will speak to the media at 3:30. It’ll be on the canes website.

If you have xm nhl and are able to listen Walt talks at 10:15.

Buch has not hardly been mentioned at all today. I think the asking price might be flat out too high.
