I just assumed Spartacat was the "donor" who gave Melnyk his kidney.

Been quiet for trades tonight so far, still think we'll get some player movement. Not a fan of Tkachuk to the Sens at all.

Great trade for the Caps. 5.5M off the books next year and will likely allow us to re-sign Carlson.

Oh, and Brooks Orpik leaving is very good.

Obviously things turned out okay, but deer god that deal was awful from the start. I am also very biased because I really hated him by the end of his days in Pittsburgh. Can’t believe someone took him. Then again the Avs have the space...basically used it to get a goalie cheaper.

Orpik actually played well this past postseason. Just no where near worth 5.5M. For all reports, he's done a great job being a mentor to a lot of younger players (Kuznetsov being the oddest of the bunch).

Avs plan is to either flip him (lol, good luck) or buy him out.

There's also this:


Orpik at league minimum is much easier to swallow than 5.5.

Figures.

That is one very, very aging roster the Kings have. 6 guys who will be 33+ by the end of next season.

Kovalchuk stinks!

It looks like the Caps are close to signing Carlson and he'll be the second highest paid player on the team after Ovechkin.
