This guy scored 15 goals and 31 points playing third-fourth line minutes most of the year. Signed league minimum. Nothing to see here, folks.

They’re rumours, not news.

If all you’re looking for is the news, just go to TSN.ca and Sportsnet.ca.

Insiders discuss things they’ve heard are going on around the league - and not everything comes to fruition (probably more appropriate to say the vast majority don’t come to fruition).

Yes and just because something doesn't happen, doesn't mean it wasn't discussed. But how serious those discussions were? That's an entirely other matter.

Why is this player taking a paycut from his ELC ?

I suppose he doesn't have much leverage at this point in his career, and with the Panthers' depth, this at least ensures he earns an NHL salary for the entire season.

Yeah I guess I am confused because I thought that was the entire point.

He wants to win. I'm not sure why people would question it.

This makes them -3.725m over the cap now.

Cap casualties:

ERod: 3.0m x 2
Luostarinen: 3.0m x 2
Boqvist: 1.5m x 2
Mikkola: 2.5m x 1

From most likely to least likely, probably would say ERod, Boq, Luo, and Mikkola. Mikkola is likely testing UFA next season, should get a hefty bump from 2.5m after this season. Pretty much Florida's own rental. ERod and Boq likely need to go, and it's very possible Florida needs to roll with a 22 man roster, which I am sure they're totally cool with. ERod, Boq, and a decent pick for a forward on 775k puts them at exactly $0 in cap left.

This is absolutely false, but ok

I'll toot my own horn for a quick second, but I had Markstrom to the Devil's long before the "real" insider's, some who said he wouldn't be moved.

I know Sec & diss had hits in the past as well, and most recently Village.

Rumour's are just that... rumours (whoda thunk it!)
We post what we hear/are told and most of that information is not concrete or 100% factual in that its going to happen for sure.

From what I can tell, most of us have connection through different streams to the team/agents or relatives and so its not like we're passing information straight from Craig.

With that said, if it bothers your or gets your blood boiling to the LOL degree than just throw us on ignore, or perhaps stay out of the speculation thread.

Rumors are not facts folks. If you cannot differentiate between the two, that's on you and nobody else.

I like these rumors because it generally gives you a reasonable sense of direction in which the team is heading in or trying to.

Keep on posting those rumors you pesky insidersss. Don't let the loud minority get you down.

The Blue Jackets first rounder (14th overall) signed a five year contract in the AHL... Sounds like it was expected, but five years is a looooong time to wait for a prospect to come over from Russia.

A weird pick gets weirder.
