NHL Transactions, Injuries & Rumours

[Bruyns]

Was checking out the KHL site and nice to see Kozun is lighting it up and leading the league in points.

presumably to snag a shot in the dark type young KHL dominator for waiver draft lol

checking out Arian's pick. I already got my KHL all star in Mironov, drafted in the 4th this year and played for the senior men's Russia team at the worlds, so I was fine paying the '16 4th to get an extra pick.

[Matthew]

[The BBKL Insider]

[Fraser]

Paul I'll sell you a defenseman for an insane price

[Fraser]

Goli and Nelson. Sounds like fun

[thom54]

Brandon Carlo has been their best dman this preseason, he probabaly makes the team.

[Shoalzie]

And your boy Lindberg has had a decent camp/preseason for the Rangers well...that deal could work out well for you. Methot will be fine for me...just needs to stay healthy.

ya, both guys have been great. I was kidding about Carlo making the team. He certainly looks NHL ready, and was their best dman last night, but i doubt he makes the NHL roster.

Lindberg on the other hand has been great. Should provide nice 3rd and 4th line depth for the rangers this season.

Jeremy Morin waived. Really the only significant name thus far.

Unhappy he is suspended but happy that they think he is definitely an nhl dman. I wouldn't b terribly upset if they gave him 1 mor year in t shl, but looks like Murray wants him in th nhl sooner rather than later.

[Lee]

Oliver Bjorkstrand sent to the minors.

They think he has NHL potential but that he won't reach it playing in Sweden....leaving camp without telling anyone is usually regarded as bad form I'd think.

[Matthew]

True. If his family member is sick, I can see a lot of 19-20 year Olds fleeing home quickly "as family Is all that matters". If not, then probably an issue.

[Bruyns]

I'd say the issue is not telling your employer you are leaving. Bad look for the kid.

[Nick]

Smartphones... it takes 30 seconds to inform someone, even if it is just your agent.

i like it for montreal. sell halak on a high when his free agent status is uncertain (salary hit etc). get two prospects and eller is going to fit in perfectly.

p.s. this means backes keeps his faceoffs from the wing . lol its all on price now.

Thats exactly it. They needed to sell Halak when his value was at its highest. I guarantee Montreal would not have gotten the same package if they tried to move Price....everyone would have wanted a discount on him. Price has the higher upside but obviously hasnt played as well as Halak. That being said it makes the most business sense as well. Both goalies needed to resign this year and Halak was obviously going to ask for a hefty raise. They can resign Price for about 2 million cheaper per year based on his performances, where as Halak is going to demand massive money from St Louis. They can then take that 2 million or however much they saved and put that towards upgrading elsewhere.

Like I said if Price turns it around Gauthier looks like a genius....if he doesnt then he looks like Mike Milbury a la moving Luongo for Dipietro.

i remember when people used to say price sucks lol...
