I think he very well could overplay his hand here.
Another surprising one is Franson, seemed like he would be a major commodity.

With Green now gone it may be only matter of minutes before Franson is locked up.

Wait, I thought he signed with the Sharks?

Rumors that Buf is about to extend O'Reilly, I thought he wasn't eligible to be extended until Jan 1st (like Talbot)?

Beleskey has offers from 5 teams he is deciding on in the 5-7 year range and around 4.5-5M per year.

I think they both end up in Toronto. Leafs probably just busy this morning finalizing the Kessel deal.

I might have completely missed this but John Moore to the Devils which is surprising given their defensive depth.

Thoughts and prayers to the team that signs that deal. Terrible.

To expand on this, Bobby Mac said he believes it to be 7 years and at least 7.5M per year.

The team that signs that deal should expose their management team as a bunch of idiots. That's the best part about this time of year. Teams overpaying for mediocre guys get exposed year after year.

No, he's on a two-year contract, so he can be signed now. It's only one-year contracts that can't be extended until January.

January 1st is only if you want to extend a player on a 1 year deal.

Otherwise you can extend a player on a multi-year deal on July 1st of the final year of their contract.

Normally I really get annoyed watching Jeff O'Neill but today he's pretty right on most things he's said. Unlike many other panel guys who need to butter up certain players to keep sources, O'Neill's spewed whatever he believes and he's more right then wrong...just today.

Yeah I agree. I think if a team wants to do that, make it a max 3 year deal. Term is way too long.

Also crazy: Ryan O'Reilly is not a 7.5 M player. I can't believe he is close to that per year on a 7 year extension with Buffalo.

LeBrun mentioned Detroit is talking right now with Brad Richards on a short term deal.

I still wouldn't mind taking a run a Franson depending on cost, then move Wideman.

Gio-Hamilton
Brodie-Franson

Would be a great top 4.

Makes the Dougie Hamilton deal look even better!

One reason why Mike Green got paid big: 38.9% of NHL D-men were right-handed shooters this season. Righties are at a premium.

Mike Santorelli is drawing a crowd. Several teams in discussion. Likely settle on 2 years, just under $3 mil per.

What?? -did Rutherford really say this? as the Sicilian thief says in The Princess Bride - Inconceivable!

Greg Wyshynski ‏@wyshynski 9s10 seconds ago
Rutherford on Kessel conditioning "I think guys that are in too good of shape are vulnerable to get injured, and this guy plays every game.”
