Perhaps that deal isn't as bad for Buffalo as people thought.
You mean Buffalo and yes haha I have noticed that.

I mean it COULD be possible that an NHL GM knows more than me. Possible. Not probable but possible 😉

Vegas will clear the space, with or without the Flames' 'help'.

If the Flames can also benefit, and get the player they need, I'm all for it.

(Not certain that Smith is that player, just saying)

Last year there were a lot of posters who were so angry with Winnipeg for doing Vegas a favor in trading for Statsny. Yet Winnipeg made the playoffs and won a round with Statsny being a key contributor.

30 other NHL teams are not going to ignore the chance to add a top 9 and likely top 6 forward due to petty jealousy.

No, but 15 of those other teams are already over the cap and can't take on another big contract until the off-season.

Most of the teams that have plenty of cap room are rebuilding (or, in Seattle's case, building for the first time) and adding a veteran forward isn't going to put them over the top of anything.

Difficult year to be a seller, especially when you put yourself in a situation where you're forced to sell.

Especially not particularly offensively skilled ones.

Drive me nuts hearing the type of scrub d-men or depth forwards he's looking at every spring it seems.

My impression was we went and loaded up on defencemen last summer so that we didn't need to do this song and dance again.

This time of year the guy needs to be supervised by someone with their head screwed on straight.

Bottom line is he needs to put his efforts toward the type of player that actually moves the needle on this team and fills a need.

Unfortunately if he’s targeting Chiarot then he’s actually trying to make us worse

He won’t be cheap and it will take a more effective player out of the lineup


Expect Chiarot to cost similar to what we got for Kris Russel. Some insiders are even saying the cost is a first round pick

Guess we will see, been seeing lots of articles lately that the market might be oversaturated on UFA d-men with possibly 20 or more available.

I really hope he is focused on getting what this team needs. Not looking for bargains.

Tre asks the price on everything, nothing to see here.

on HNIC

Oilers have looked at every possible goalie option this last week
If they could have acquired one for a late round pick they would have pulled the trigger.
Hesitant to move their 1st, 2nd, or 3rd

Friedman says Caps are considering adding Evander Kane

Marek says Coyotes have an offer of 2 former 1st rounders and a 1st round pick for Chychrun on the table but the auction continues
La, Anaheim, Boston, Florida (may be the team to watch), and Rangers in on Chychrun
Rangers have offered a package including Kravtsov for Chychrun

Rangers have inquired about DeBrusk
