The Penguins won the cup. The draft is soon and then free agency. You know the drill.

Ehh, not so sure about that. DeBoer coached him in the minors, which is the reason it took less money for them to sign him. That, and he wants to win the Cup with them.Mikkel Boedker to the Sharks for 4 years, $16 million.
Fuck. Avs could've kept him for that price. Also lost Shawn Matthias today.
Only signings I've seen thus far are Joe Colborne, Fedor Tyutin and Patrick Wiercioch. NOT GREAT.
I'll believe Elliott is capable of being successful outside of St. Louis when I see it.FRONT PAGE STORY★;60951370 said:Amazing that the Flames went from Hiller, Rämö to Elliot, Johnson. What a turn around. If Jim Nill could do something similar, the Stars would be legitimate contenders next year.
Someone else brought this up elsewhere, but it makes a bit more sense that they might want a guy like Shea Weber around (instead of Subban) if they knew they were going to sign Radulov this summer.Trades Subban because of "character issues". Signs Radulov who is one of the biggest douchebags this league has ever seen. :lmao
Ditto. He's a band aid and should not be looked at as any kind of real solution. His absolute ceiling is getting them a wild card spot and a 1st round exit. at the same time, the pendulum could swing the other way and they could bottom out again and he stinks. Just don't have much confidence in him.I'll believe Elliott is capable of being successful outside of St. Louis when I see it.
Tyler Biggs for Rickard Rakell and John Gibson :mj2I mean I've gotten to laugh at Toronto for an entire lifetime so it's only fair if you can have a chuckle.
Need to add at least 8 more MJ smileys to accurately portray the Biggs/Rakell & Gibson trade.Tyler Biggs for Rickard Rakell and John Gibson :mj2
Francois Beauchemin for Jake Gardiner and Joffrey Lupul
Jean-Sebastien Giguere for Jason Blake and Vesa Toskala![]()
Leafs have gotten pretty lucky with conditional picks lately :ghost.the conditions for that Bernier to Anaheim trade were finally revealed:
- If Bernier starts half of Anaheim’s playoff games next spring and the Ducks win the Stanley Cup, Toronto receives the Ducks’ 2017 second-round pick.
- If Bernier starts half of Anaheim’s playoff games next spring and the Ducks lose in the Stanley Cup Final, Toronto receives the Ducks’ 2017 third-round pick.
- If Anaheim trades Bernier to a team that starts him in half of its playoff games next spring and wins the Stanley Cup, Toronto receives the Ducks’ second-round pick.
- If Anaheim trades Bernier to a team that starts him in half of its playoff games next spring and loses in the Stanley Cup Final, Toronto receives the Ducks’ third-round pick.
- If none of those happen, then Toronto gets nothing at all.
On the surface, basically Anaheim got a back-up goalie and his bonus paid by Toronto for nothing. Underneath, this was just a handshake deal that is an extension of the Andersen trade. Had no bonuses had to be paid, Bernier would've been included in the original Andersen trade.
Well the way I look at it, before the trade we were over the cap and that trade let us get under the cap. You let us clear cap space and didn't make us give you a pick to do so.lol @ JIM thinking this was some massive win for the leafs. :lmao
