2017-2018 NHL Season Thread Hockey • Page 421

It's going to be super hard next hear since $10 m to work with this summer with JT and Hertl needing contracts while Pavelski and Couture next year

 

Ohhh yeah I forgot Hertl is due this year, yeah I see the conundrum

 

Yeah I've seen sharks fans be like it's so easy just trade boedker and buy out Martin for cap space but that's basically losing assets and picks for this Kane deal.

 

I can see a lot of chayka type deals happening this offseason

Can the knights win the cup already?

 

Hertl is a free agent?? Gimme

 

RFA.

 

John Tavares getting full-court press from Islanders - Sportsnet.ca

not that this means anything yet but Friedman speculates Tierny could possibly be out due to this cap crunch by the Sharks.

also some good stuff in there.

 

Kesler’s contract looks even worse now lol

 

Watching a bunch of condensed games on the NHL.TV app thing. This is awesome and definitely worth ten bucks. It’s been amazing to watch like, 10 Wild games and then watch a few Penguins games and see the difference in speed and play style. Super useful as I learn and get a hang of the sport

 

2md team hmmmmmm

 

3rd team

HMMMMMMM

 

He’s gonna sign a two year deal and then sign with Seattle.

 

4th team

LOL

 

You guys are gonna feel real dumb when the rangers give him and kovalchuk all the money

More importantly, if the list of "10 biggest jerks of all time" isn't just Sean Avery 10 times, this is a trash publication.

 

you can have Kovalchuk

 

I see the annual Phil Kessel Trade Rumors have started up again

 

Are the canes really trading hanifin?

 

If they get a good offer, sure, it could happen. But he won't be cheap. We may see a couple trades but there is no fire sale happening in Carolina.

 

"I am told that quietly Hanifin may want out and Carolina is exploring this. This is just from a few sources not close enough to the situation at this point."

Quote from Eklund lmao

 

I would figure he’d be one of the “untouchables” but then again I certainly didn’t think Dougie would get traded either so what do I know

 

I don’t think he’s necessarily untouchable. Slavin and Pesce are in that category. Hanifin is probably right below that.

 

I mean I can't imagine what they'd want in return, a proven offensive player?

 

A proven top-6 guy and starting goalie are the biggest needs. So I’d imagine any trade would be an attempt to get one of those. But who knows.

 

Can't wait for the NHL to go all in and have Slava and Bobby Hull do commercials together. Get all the wife beaters in the league in it too, why not?
