NHL Transactions, Injuries & Rumours

Yea.... good for Brock lol. Jesus they’re gonna toss multiple Yachts at Anders Lee then...

[Matthew]

Finland just won the world championships with essentially no NHLers on the team...

And they beat Canada twice.

[Matthew]

Anders Nilsson signs a 2 year x 2.6m adv contract with the senators.

I guess that means the end for either Anderson or Condon in Ottawa. 3 goalies with contracts. Anderson is 38, but Condon was dealing with a hip issue last season.

Apparently zaitsev has requested a trade from toronto

[kimmer]

He wants to be on PP

[Tony]

He wants to be on PP

Apparently Marleau has asked the leafs to move him out west, as his family is moving back to sjs.

So both zaitsev and marleau want out. Lucky leafs.

[KapG]

Good

Bye bye to them both

Did anyone else see this? It seems the league voted in December that Arizona is moving to the central division from the Pacific division.

This opens room up in the Pacific for Seattle, and the potential to move Arizona to Houston.

I'm personally not a fan of this for bbkl's division alignment, as it removes the weakest team from my division, and puts in another expansion team, which will probably be fairly strong.

Atlantic division had a bunch of top 10 teams for years, it's just another reason why 1-8 playoff seeding makes more sense than divisional seeding IMO.

#Flyers have traded for the rights of pending UFA Kevin Hayes. Winnipeg gets a fifth-round pick.

[Matthew]

Matthias Janmark signs 1 year x 2.3m with Dallas. This is the minimum he could have signed for with them, I believe.

[Shoalzie]

Nice auto-correct.

[Matthew]

Jeff Skinner signs for 8 years x 9 million bucks

[Handsome&FairMike]

Jeff Skinner signs for 8 years x 9 million bucks

That’s a LOT of cheeeeesseeee

[Matthew]

Bbkl San Jose will have 6 players making more than 7 million next season. That's a lotto dough.

Carey Price 10.5m
Jeff Skinner 9m
Artemi Panarin ????
Phil Kessel 8m
Ryan O'Reilly 7.5m
David Krejci 7.25m

[thom54]

Yea.... not sure about that deal. He owes some cash to Eichel

I have zero making more than 7, not going to last after this season though.

Star players getting paid stimulates player movement in this league...you definitely can't sit on the same group of players forever. The cap goes up every year but there's a limit to how many big contracts you can have. Creates a buyer's market for the talent-starved teams out there.
