2016-2017 NHL Discussion Thread [Archived] Hockey • Page 28

Yea, for the Flyers, I was thinking 3/$2.5 or 2/$3 would've been perfect for them. But, not a terrible contract and potentially moveable in the future.

 

also, pretty excited to be working from home tomorrow. fully expecting lots of shit to go down (hopefully, kinda).

 

Chychrun at 8 and trading for Stamkos' rights are on my wishlist. Packaging Ennis in a deal for Fowler would be welcome as well.

 

Saw it speculated after the deal was announced but its a decent number to dangle in the expansion draft next year if some of the young cats play well this year and are ready for the call up next year.

 

True as well. Also didn't realize he's only 26, so still young enough to potentially improve/not significantly fall-off ala some Rangers D-men.

 

I honestly don't see any of this happening, except maybe Chychrun.

 

my daily reminder it sucks not being involved in the first two days probably. I feel like the second round pick could get traded.

 

...Rangers have no picks in the first 2+ rounds.

 

this podcast I'm listening to reminding me the sharks drafted Taylor Doherty because big.

The sharks also did the same thing with Mueller.

 

Sabres and Ducks are reportedly in heated discussions regarding Fowler. Dunno what we'd give up but Ennis and his 4.6 mil cap hit can gtfo already haha

 

and while we are said to be in the running for Stamkos I would love to get a head start on negotiations with him, and we all know Tim Murray is an aggressive GM willing to take risks.

 

Good thing the front office made all the right moves and we won the cup in 2014.

 

That's steep, but if that's what it takes to lock him up, I'm sure it'll be worth it in a few years.

 

Montreal reportedly heavily in the mix for Fowler.

McKenzie also said that he's heard shit about Dougie Hamilton getting dealt.

 

we need to have an expansion every few years just to keep making everything this exciting.

Come on Seattle 2020-21 is calling your name.

 

Doubt it, guys like that never hit the market

 

Oh, I can see Fowler moving to Buffalo -- just not with Ennis heading the opposite way. I can see Carlyle gunning for big bodies to fit his outdated coaching method.

 

Pens officially back to black and yellow for home and white and yellow for away jerseys. So pumped. Hopefully they have the ones with Pittsburgh diagonally across the chest for the alternates.

 

I don't know if I said this before but if the Ducks managed to not lose Lindhole or Vatanen and give away Fowler instead, I'll be bitter.

 

hahaha

 

Nathan Gerbe signing in the Swiss league. He was fun to watch a couple years ago. Hope he does well out there.

 

No love for Robopenguin, bummer

 

Does Vanek completely suck now?
