First thought and it does seem like it may have been Torey Krug and apparently he isn’t waiving. Don’t blame him unless Philly had another trade lined up for him.

 

[puckhead]

wait, a FOUR year deal???

The crazy has begun!

Rhetorical question: If I sell a bag of chit for $1000, why would I buy it back a year later even if it only costs me $1?

Mike Sillinger approved this trade.

Kris Draper was traded for a dollar.

after two days of omg omg it's gonna be a huuuuuge trade.


nah....

Good on Krug for not playing to his GM’s bullshit. Sanheim on the other hand looks sure to be traded by Philly right before his fresh 8 year deal with NTC kicks in and there’s a chance he’s headed somewhere he wouldn’t want to go like Winnipeg.

Cautionary tale to future pending free agents, your teams will fuck you over when they can. Just go to free agency so you actually hold all the cards.

On another note, the Habs appear to be circling back on PLD

But will they outbid LAK?

For some reason, I have a feeling that WPG will not get what people think/fans want to get, and there will be a lot of "is that all?" noise.

It should set the benchmark for what a potential Lindholm trade would fetch.

Well, I was prepared to give you Johansen, but that ship has sailed.

When you say that ship has sailed, are you referring to the S.S. Minnow?

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Wonder if they're dealing Swayman.

Not sure who they could move with cap on it though, most of the guys earning big $ on Boston have some form of NTC that probably has the Hawks on it.

Krug to CHI? Oh wait, a year behind the times.

Maybe Hall forgot to put the Hawks on his NMC list? He only gets 10, so: 7 Canadian teams + SEA, ARI and....BUF maybe?
