It was amazing watching the Sedin draft coverage again last month, top see how corpulent and hedgehog-ish Burke has become.
Is Nonis his assistant again?

Ron Francis gone in Carolina.
The only HW the Canucks need
Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)
He's been a dead man walking in that organization for a while now. At least it's official and he can look elsewhere for work if he wants to stay in the biz.
Kinda sucks how it ended for him considering his history with that franchise, but the new owner doesn't strike me as an overly sentimental type and wants his stamp on his new toy.

"Ian Clark is leaving the Blue Jackets after seven seasons, said it was his decision to leave Blue Jackets; GM Jarmo Kekalaine called it a “mutual decision."
He helped Bobrovsky rise to prominence and notably is Luongo's main man his consigliere. One wonders if the Canucks sign him after they lost Roland Melanson due to family concerns back east.
Clark can work with the young goalies, while Cloutier can stick with Marky.

Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)
There is something kinda funny about Rob Blake trying to re-sign Doughty to about the same amount of money the Kings were trying to re-sign Blake back in 2001. Drew should demand about $10M per, the same as Kopitar.
The Los Angeles Kings are eligible to sign Drew Doughty to an extension July first and GM Rob Blake has already started the process. Blake:
“This won’t surprise anyone, but I sat down with him 1-on-1 after the season and outlined our plan for the next four to five years. We want him here, and he knows how much.”
Unwilling to sign Rob Blake for the $9.6 million he requested and unwilling to let him walk away as an unrestricted free agent, the Kings traded their Norris Trophy-winning defenseman and rookie center Steven Reinprecht to the league-leading Colorado Avalanche late Wednesday for right wing Adam Deadmarsh, defenseman Aaron Miller, a first-round draft pick in the June entry draft.

Doughty will get more than 10
“I don’t care what you and some other poster were talking about”
Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)
True, I'm guessing he'll demand around $11M per, maybe then LA will scoff at that & trade him, having over an 1/8th of a teams cap on one player is pretty hard to manage.

Hossa announces retirement.

I believe the Luongo Rule will hit the Blackhawks to the tune of $4.25M in recapture for the next 3 years.
However.....

If this is true, and the NHL permits it, it's either total bullshit bush league favoritism, or we are all dancing in the streets because we can find an out by trading a low pick for Luongo when he's done and then have him do the same.

Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)
I suppose the difference will be stated as Hossa has an "injury" that prevents him from playing so it's not circumventing the spirit of the rule. Whereas if a non injured player just retires, then it's different. So Luongo would need to develop an allergy to something :Mëds wrote: ↑Sun May 20, 2018 6:35 pm Hossa announces retirement.

It still amazes me that the NHL doesn't find it cap circumvention being able to trade injured players, with career ending type injuries.
Technically, if he doesn't sign his retirement papers he ain't retired. But man I'd want a second medical opinion.
