Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)

[Chef Boi RD]

Klingberg is 28. That list is an abortion.

Ok remove him

I see Rathbone and potentially Juolevi sliding into that list

For sure, probably Woo and Rafferty as well.

Klingberg isn't that young.

[ESQ]

Rangers trade Staal plus a 2nd pick to Detroit for future considerations.

I don't get it, Rangers have heaps of cap space, and are projecting to have 7 or 8 ELCs on the roster next year. After next year, Staal, Lundqvist and the Shattenkirk buyout would have given them over $20 mil anyways, why give up a 2nd now?

They must be planning on shopping in UFA, which could be a good time to be probably the only big budget buyer.

[Hockey Widow]

My thoughts exactly. They must be planning on shopping for a FA or two.

That looks pretty much like the order I have those guys in. Seth Jones is turning 26 this year though so I don’t know if you can call him a young guy. Shea Theodore, while a very good player is 25.

Provorov, MacAvoy, Sergachev, Werenski is too low on that list, Dahlin and Chabot are too high

[Per]

Multiple sources say the Rangers are buying out Lundquist after nearly 15 years as their starting goalie.
One year left on the contract with an 8.5 million cap hit, a 5.5 million salary and a NMC.

The Rangers will still get a 5.5 million cap hit but free up 3 million in cap space for the 20/21 season and King Henrik can hit the market as an UFA.

Franky Seravalli talking about royaldude's fave player. ayee

Sounds like #Oilers have made progress in talks to bring Jesse Puljujarvi back into the fold.

Discussion still mostly centered on the hockey 'fit' part of it, but my guess if/when he returns is that it's eventually on a one-year deal in the $1.2-$1.5 million range.

I would probably be willing to part with Jake Virtanen in return for big Jess.

Straight one for one swap.

[Chef Boi RD]

Pool Party makes Jake Virtanen look like a Mensa Member. No thanks

Seems a few of those Finnish youngsters from the WJC gold medal team are having trouble fit into the NHL. Laine, decent scorer, but seems to be a difficult teammate. JP, just hasn't lived up to the hype. Juolevi, injuries, and unable to really meet early expectations.

Too steep a price. Jake might be topped out right now, which is fine. But PoolParty might never ever play in the 'Chel again. Baertschi and a 5th for the Pool Boy.

Not Jake but maybe Josh Lievo who also needs a contract. Risk for risk.
