Free agent flagellation.

At least that's what the guys who sign with the oilers call it.

Dear Free Agent Santa,

All I want for Canada Day Is for the Flames to not be idiotic with their money signing a bottom six forward to a term/AAV that will put them in an inevitable compromise with their poor top 6. Please And Thank You With A Nanaimo Bar On Top.

Chris Nichols @NicholsOnHockey
LeBrun: I don't know who's going to sign Kris Russell. I think #Leafs have some interest, but probably along w/ 10 other teams.

Chris Nichols @NicholsOnHockey
LeBrun: Hartley told me when Giordano, two years ago, went down w/ injury, "Kris Russell became the leader of that #Flames team."

Chris Nichols @NicholsOnHockey
LeBrun/Russell: Unbelievable leader. His worth ethic, how he plays on the ice. First guy in gym. Not flashy player. We know what he is.

Lucic isn't going to Montreal. No shot. He'll be an Oiler a couple of hours from now

Signed,

All of CP.

It took a while, but man does it feel so good.

I don't think anyone doubted Russel's character and work ethic.

He just wasn't a great D-man and someone is going to overpay for him.

Pierre LeBrun @Real_ESPNLeBrun
LA Kings took one last shot at Milan Lucic yesterday, which is why Matt Greene was placed on buyout waivers. But didn't come close on Lucic

Pierre LeBrun @Real_ESPNLeBrun
So it's possible Kings actually do not buy out Greene after all. Stay tuned.

OP updated with Helm signing.

He was one of the guys I hoped we would get, good signing Detroit.
