Jaden Schwartz and the #seakraken had real good discussions and it appears to be a strong landing spot but he wants to see who else they are bringing in before officially signing.

not offered the QO - making them FA's - nothing shocking on here, but teams have until the end of today I believe.

Yep. Once they re-signed Martinez they were right up against the cap. Fleury or Lehner had to go.

price a reigning Vezina winner has been traded for in history.

Literally nothing.

Also, he found out via twitter. Shitty look for Vegas.

The Athletic is reporting:

"The Vegas Golden Knights have reached a deal with the Blackhawks to trade Marc-Andre Fleury to the Chicago in exchange for forward Mikael Hakkarainen, a source tells The Athletic. The deal is pending trade calls."

Vegas management is absolutely ruthless. Wonder if they make a play for Eichel now

are Hurricanes reached a deal with Tony DeAngelo, haven't seen confirmation yet.

Latest info is that Avalanche are pitching a three-year deal to Landeskog at basically MacKinnon $$$ (around $6.3M AAV)

But is Danault really that much of an upgrade over Strome?

I think so, Strome is brutal on the dots, and doesn't even take high leverage face offs and Strome is nowhere near the defensive player.

Strome is a better scorer.

but like I said it's why ideally you make Danault your 3rd line center (in MTL he was a 1C) - but know he can play 1C, 2C or 3C - just ideally he's a 3C.

Sounds more like actually for nothing. I don't get this at all. lol.

VGK GM Kelly McCrimmon says that Mikael Hakkarainen, who was acquired for Vezina Trophy winner Marc-Andre Fleury, will continue to play in Chicago's organization despite the @GoldenKnights owning his contract.

On loan? no idea, I do know that often times when teams need some ECHL players they get loaned from team to team - some teams don't even have ECHL teams so they add any ECHL players in their organization to other teams ECHL teams.

Sounds like European footie where a PL team, e.g., arranges for a player under control of a team is loaned out to a different club (same or lower level of competition) so he can gain experience, allows for more informed decision as to his rights down the line. Happens frequently.

this year - absolutely a guy they should look at.

AAV of $3.4M for ages 28-32.

- Glad to have him back with the #Habs.

- More term than I would have preferred, as with that salary comes production expectations (see: Byron, Paul). So don’t LOVE this deal…

- But still a useful and valuable player. #goHabsGo

I think Danault is definitely gone and the Canadiens will be worse on paper because of it (and b/c of losing Weber who I freely admit is not Weber of 5 years ago, but also had a pretty high floor for play) so unless there is a ton of improvement from the youth, Scott in Montreal will get his wish for MTL.

Okay, working on some stuff. Biggest one is probably Landeskog...hearing 7x7 is on the table, and there are discussions about the possibility of eight years. We will see where this goes. There are others who want him.

Sounds like defenseman Mike Reilly is getting close to re-signing with the #bruins

Hague is still young, but not a significant player, and Smith is a UFA after the season and is also not a star, this is less than I thought it would be.

NYR equivalent would be something like Lundkvist, Chytil, Strome and 1st.

I’m hearing the Buffalo ask for Eichel from Vegas is Smith, Peyton Krebs, Nic Hague and a first-rounder.

seems like Lundkvist, Chytil, Strome and 1st would be significantly higher value, never mind that it's two C for one in return. Doesn't make sense to me

Just giving comparable value players - not saying the deal should be made or not for Vegas or the Rangers.

and Strome gets replaced by Eichel,and Goodrow can play C too.

Chytil has to be one of the worst face off guys in the league, Goodrow excels at face offs. it all starts with the face off. So often you analyze a goal against and it begins with a face off loss. Or you see an ineffective power play and it starts with a face off loss killing valuable time.

So underestimated by some fans (not you CHP, I know you get it).

Tyler Johnson to CHI

and it will be another disappointment for the Isles it looks like with the big fish off the board. I guess we can still be happy with a Saad or Hoffman signing to take Eberles spot but not really seeing the options for Leddy's spot.

Been consistent in saying that of forwards to be moved I'd prefer it to be Chytil, for the reason you mention as well as his inconsistency, coming up short in finishing. He has nice burst, a bit of Barzal in him, to get around d-men but that's when the comp implodes. I also don't see him, yet, as a good, two-way guy.

Just say no to Eichel.

as most assumed, but came down to the wire.

Awesome, thanks, I'll check it out.

I find Drury's off-season, to this point, head scratching. Who's whispers in his ear were louder, Slats'(mega stupid, expensive move) or GG's? It's like NYR moves were Vegas expansion draft fodder. I confess to wanting something to happen with the forwards--it did, with Buch sent to STL for nada barf--but that's it? No Danault, no Getzlaf, nothing to make us stoked, only a move to make us gag, and I'm good w/no Eichel unless it's really on the cheap if BUF has indeed painted itself in corner--but to this point, it's really a head scratcher.

camp, and Montreal will "reassess" as the year goes on. Who knows if that's just lip service, with them having every intention of determining he's ready in time for training camp, or if they've got specific steps he needs to accomplish which will be taken seriously. This reads to me like they were really caught off guard by the reaction to the pick, though I'm surprised any team would be surprised, so again, maybe it's all theater. At any rate, they do seem to want to be able to demonstrate he realizes the severity of what he's done and isn't that person anymore.
