NYerInMA : 6/13/2016 10:07 am
Now that the calamity of another Pens' Cup has occurred, everyone can move on to the business of getting to June 2017. The Rangers, obviously, have a lot of work to do to get back to being a contender. Word is the salary cap may actually shrink, which puts several teams, including NYR, CHI, and PIT in crunches. Should be an interesting couple of months!

Islanders, Nashville, Tampa Bay, Montreal...among the many with interest in Andrew Ladd. When Stamkos decision is made the next wave hits.

Blue Jackets have agreed to terms with D Seth Jones on a six-year, $32.4M extension ($5.4M AAV).



you're not putting this in perspective.

Jones' contract covers a bunch of team controlled years where he would've made a lot less than he's $5.4AAV.

Girardi and Staal are vets who were on UFA contracts.

Apples/Oranges




Except the Apples compared to the Oranges here had the Rangers doing "Bridge deals" during those cost controlled years and it ended up costing them more for these guys in the long run..

at this point I'm gonna say it was made up, yeah

I wouldn't touch Stamkos for anything over 8 million. Too risky given his history with blood clots.

He'll get over 10M I bet. I'm leery too, but someone won't be.
I suspect we're waiting on Nash  
Deej : 6/29/2016 2:52 pm : link
until after Stamkos picks a team. Sounds like 1/3 or more of the league is clearing cap space for him, and obviously only one team can sign him.

I agree. I think whichever teams don't get Stamkos will be interested in Nash as a consolation prize.

It is a straight one-for-one deal. Hall for Larsson.


Off the bat...What a horrible trade for Edmonton IMO. 24 year old winger coming off a 65 point, 26 goal season.
Oilers making a salary dump?  
NYG27 : 6/29/2016 3:44 pm : link
Hall's contract has 2 years left at roughly $12 million, while Larsson still has 5 years at $20+ million.

Maybe they know they can't pay Hall in 2 years when he's a free agent and would rather control Larsson for the next 5 years in return?

I was thinking PA and Vanek but to my surprise it sounds like other teams still may want Vanek. I expected his suitors to be so bad he would have to suck it up and play in brooklyn after he complained about the move when he left
Wait, so the Isles could've had Hall for Hamonic and said no?

It's too bad Sports are the way they are  
Dave M : 6/29/2016 6:24 pm : link
Because the Isles and Rangers would be great trade partners right now. I know the Rangers may just end up trading Nash for the entire Western Conference but Nash for some young guys and/or picks would make sense.

I could see Nash intriguing any team that struck out on Stamkos. Detroit, Toronto, Anaheim...


That is, if they have the cap room
I'm curious to see which, if any,  
bigbluehoya : 6/29/2016 10:25 pm : link
Of the major sports will be the first to try and tackle the disparity caused by state and local taxes. It's a significant inequality. I'm all for the concept
of competitive advantage, but this just flies in the face of the idea of an level playing field / equality of opportunity.

Maybe the Canadiens can flip them She Weber for Pastrnak.

Bruins

may try and sign Trouba.

they have a lot of cap room I believe.
Holy shit  
pjcas18 : 6/30/2016 1:54 pm : link
if this is true, the Bruins are planning to sign Trouba to an offer sheet making him the second highest paid player in the league in AAV (after Stamkos) and it would cost them 4 1st round picks.

I don't understand how all this works in the NHL but after yesterdays kick to the nuts, please make this be true.

All this after allegedly turning down a Trouba for Ericsson trade at the deadline, and Ericsson is now UFA.
Link - ( New Window )
that would be hilarious  
Greg from LI : 6/30/2016 1:58 pm : link
Signing Trouba to a huge contract and losing 4 #1s versus trading Ericsson for him is like My Cousin Vinny debating whether he'd rather get his ass kicked or collect $200.

arcarsenal : 6/30/2016 1:59 pm : link
Rangers should make a play for Pirri. Thought they should have dealt for him during the year considering how much more they gave up for fucking Staal. Obviously ANA only got like 10 games out of him but losing a 6th rd pick for that isn't the biggest deal.

I'm gonna vote separate thread. There's now 12 pages here, so a FA-only thread seems worthwhile. We can try to keep that clean to FA signings and reactions.
