well ... Cliff's odd move completely fucks him over

That's a good chunk of value lost for cliff.

What did he do?

[Shoalzie]

Acquired Datsyuk.

Acquired Datsyuk.

Ohhh

[kyuss]

Datsyuk also officially leaving http://www.freep.com/story/sports/colum ... /82835594/

wouldn't call that official, but sounds indeed like he is done with the NHL. No matter the contract, wow

And to think if Malkin's injury happened before the deadline I'd have probably tried to bring back Dats for the playoffs (well, if Cliff was around at the deadline)

It's done. The greatest achievement of this season. We finish 30th overall.

impressive tanking job by the Leafs, I'm relieved they lost last night and the Oilers at least didn't finish dead last.

I guess they can still easily win the lottery though, with 3 draws seems hard to see them miss on all 3 chances

looking there, the Leafs now have around 37% of picking in the top 2, and over 52% of staying in the top 3.

Oilers have 26.5% of staying in the top 2 (will not happen... right?!? ) and around 39% of picking top 3.

Funny how CLB finished 4th last and only has 3% to have the 4th pick

in other news, Zacha carries a 2 PPG ratio

vs an AHL team !

We might have one significant change our order pre-lottery...Arizona is currently 39 games short of 1100. I'll wait until the totals are final after Sunday but based on our usual formula, the Coyotes spot would fall from 4th down to 7th based on their adjusted point total. New Jersey, San Jose and Dallas would be the new 4th, 5th and 6th spot in the lottery.

Everyone else hit 1100 and every reached the goalie minimum.

923pts + (923/1061) x 39 = 957 pts

NJD, SJ and DAL all have less pts than that, so yes, if the 39 and 1100 are the correct numbers, tough luck for ARZ that drops down to 7th (pre lottery)

I disagree.

ed snider passes away at 83

Sounds like Maloney is out in Arizona after a failed power struggle.

[Shoalzie]

Kyle Connor is one-and-done at Michigan...I wonder why Red wanted to come back for another year. Connor, Motte and Werenski have gone pro. Compher has one more year if he wants it. Only 3 seniors off this year's team so they return quite a few players but they're losing their biggest stars.

Russian D Zaitsev to sign with the Leafs

[The BBKL Insider]

I predict leafs also sign Goligoski and not Stamkos this summer. They are going to try and bolster their defense.

[kyuss]

in the meantime they signed Kadri & Rielly to 6yrs contracts

[bills09]

Very curious to know aav on those deals
