Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)

Whoa Philly is blowing the wad on coaches!

What do you do if your in Holland’s shoes? The Oilers are a mess. First and foremost they need goaltending. Just awful in the nets. That has to be quick fix now, but how?

I would go all in on mcillheney. He is a solid 1b option about to hit the market

I trade poolparty for as good of a defenseman as possible...a young puck moving type of asset who can help take some zone entry responsibility off of mcD and feed him pucks.

I would look at a legit top pairing ufa winger for mcd. Someone who can compliment the best player in the game. Not an easy task...

Ditch Lucic any way you can. Clear that shit out asap

He'll be 36 in a coupla weeks, but I've gotta agree with you Dan.

$2M X 3 years probably gets it done.

(his highest AAV ever was $850K, longest term ever was 2 years)

No chance of that, Poo Party is worth a 3rd at best right now.

I'd keep him, play him with McDave, and pray.

I agree, and it's a good year for that, but they need to clear up some cap room first.

Yup, ditch Looch, even though you'd have to give up a great asset or two to do so.

Same thing with Sekera.

You need to open that McDee Window as wide as possible right now.

And get a good goalie coach in for Koskinen, maybe he's salvageable.

Ya Sekera is fuckered now. Probably shouldn't even have gotten his med clearance.

I wouldn't be so quick to assume JPs value is so low. Hes only 2 years post draft.

So the blew jacks are gone. They couldnt score and i suspect thats all for goalie blob and panarin. Is it just goalie blob who wants the florida beaches or bread man too?

Breadman actually said he wants a BIG city with "beaches" and a strong Russian community.

Panarin dropped his agent in favour of Goalie Blob's agent, so folks are thinking they'll go to the same team.

Thats what i thought i had heard. Shitty...bready would've been a nice add for the nux

Da Russian agents know Da same thing Da golfers do;

[Chef Boi RD]

The two CBJ Russkies will go all Florida Beach Country Club. Russians, money and party towns, not a healthy combo.

Yet try telling Donald that.....

[Madcombinepilot]

looch just needs the right fit bruh..but anyways.

#Flyers announce they've hired both Michel Therrien and Mike Yeo as assistant coaches to Alain Vigneault.

That's three #NHL head coaches on the bench.

Don't know whether to call that covering all the bases or overkill.
Has that ever been done before?

Perhaps they want to trade a coach to the Oilers for a pick?

Who does Florida have to move to fit Panarin ($8.5+) and Boborovsky ($6-7+)?

They only have $6 mil coming off the books next year, and the year following they have to re-up two 70+point wingers in Dadonov and Hoffman.

They only have $6 mil coming off the books next year, and the year following they have to re-up two 70+point wingers in Dadonov and Hoffman.

They currently have about $17M in cap space, with 16 guys signed and no major UFA/RFA to re-up. With Luongo medically retiring and going on LTIR forever, it allows them to exceed the cap by $4.3M (giving them the equivalent of $21M-ish in cap space).

My guess is they swap out Hoffman for Panarin (+$4M), and Bob is a similar increase over Lou. They could still have $13M to sign 6-7 depth guys.

Or they keep Hoffman and go with 5-6 younger players. Either way, they can make it happen relatively easily.
