Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)

[$lacker]

And now Shea Webber for PK Subban and Stamkos back to Tampa. What a day.

[DonCherry4PM]

Have to give credit where credit is due, Benning's deal for Gudbranson is looking pretty damn sweet right around now.

When I first saw the headline I just assumed Ekman-Larsson. Looks like EDM got fleeced.

[olpaddy]

find it fascinating our Gm gets destroyed for giving up a 2 and Jared McCann for Gudbradsson but for Petes Sake in Edmonton with his stylish moustache hauls in Adam 15 pts in 81 games Larsson... Taylor Hall could be running a illegal gambling operation while selling coke to minors in Brazil.. regardless of his off the ice issues if they are real and I have no idea if they are or not didn't stop the oilers from bringing in the Zack attack u gotta do better... Tyler Seguin doing ok in Dallas If im a Gm in this league im on the phone seeing what i can get for Yakopov what a JOKE...

[olpaddy]

Now the Hipster dufus in Montreal just traded Pk Subban to Nashville BUT OUR GM is a bad guy for spreading rumors UNBELIEVABLE....

[Mickey107]

zomg hall for larsson?? I gotta check the shenanigans everywhere mwahaha.

wtf and pk for shea? at my old chinese diner whose now retired said as he gave me my food, too muchy, too muchy.

And Nashville may have to be relocated to Quebec then PK can play his old team and beat the shit out of them!

I guess the Coilers never would have dealt with us anyways. Not Larsen, larceny!

After hearing some of the stories I too was really confused as to why Chiarelli would want anything to do with Kassian. Maybe as that cautionary tale for his younger players?

Oilers aren't done.

Is it confirmed stamps staying in Tampa? If so..........happy happy he didn't go to tranna, like the center of the universe stated with certainty
Also, hope Lucic goes to Dallas. He might not play with mcjesus, but he would have seguin, with a lot less issues!!
Do it looch!

8 years, 68M, cap of 8.5.

Significantly less cap wise from what he could have gotten.

Factor in:

No state income tax
Contender, not a pretender
8 years vs 7 years

Hard to see a sign and trade with the cap hit Tampa wanted. If it was 10-11M in cap I could see a sign and trade. But if there was a sign and trade Stamkos would have wanted that 10-11M I would think.

Yep, very cap friendly deal too considering the numbers that were being thrown around, 8.5 mill cap hit.

Crazy trades. Gudbranson really does look better. The Subban-Weber deal is way worse. Larsson could turn out to be a consistent top 2 for Edmonton and Hall can be injury prone, so that could, maybe (although still terrible right now) work out. But freaking Weber for Subban, age, contract terms, nuts...Bergevin got his head messed up with Benning's tampering I guess

[SKYO]

Quick offer up Sbisa for Yakupov!

I'll be damned. Wasn't bout the money after all, WOW!

[Hockey Widow]

Weber the victim of that offer sheet he signed with the Flyers. He got no trade protection. Subban dumped before his NMC kicks in.

This is a great old fashioned hockey trade.

Your take on the Hipster GM in Montreal moving PK cause they shop at the same stores and i look ridiculous wearing PKs clothes Bergevin...

Ya, right now while things are hot and Edmonton have lost their minds!!!
