Sounds good Brendan thanks for the talks!

[Monk]

Whaaaa?!

Jersey kills it

I like this for New Jersey too: Best goalie + best skater.

lol
wtf

Too early to judge that trade...I have no idea what the Wings plan to do with their goalies. It's been made out like either Howard or Mrazek could be kept...but smart money is on Mrazek being kept. And of course, what does our guy here do with his goalie situation...he's going to have a lot of interesting choices to make.

told mike not to do it ...

[The BBKL Insider]

love it for NJ....that said i actually think Mike did okay too.

the best h2h player will be Stephens. Hicketts should be as offensive as pulock

[Handsome&FairMike]

I told those I was discussing deals with that mostnwouldnt like it. But I'm a big hicketts fan and I've always been intrigued by Stevens. Ya Howard is older but still solid and the cap doesn't matter to me now. Also this allows me to protect another NHL dman.

But works really well for Brendan which is good and the 5th was courtesy as I flaked hard on him in a prior potential deal. Felt bad! All good tho

[Matthew]

When was the last time a 5'8 defenseman locked down a full time NHL job?

[Handsome&FairMike]

See torey krug. Game is different now man. Speed and smarts on the back end is killer - but anyways I'm a fan. Hopefully he can get it done and make the jump

[lightupdadarkness]

Really like Loki side. Will be interesting to see what he does with both Rangers goalies
