Leonsis just told all the reporters to meet him at IHOP for a "Major Announcement"

I'm guessing Erat.

Caps will have to clear some cap space somehow. Hmmm

They'll just pay Penner in IHOP gift cards.

I don't think those count against the cap.

Are the Ducks getting someone later today? I don't understand their moves so far.

It's pretty widely believed they are front runners for Gaborik, Vanek or Moulson. They cleared room with the moves today.

Well that could be interesting. Thanks.

I would have much rather had Moulson, but I like Dustin Penner.

That said, this doesn't cure any problems. If anything, it's more of a log jam of pretty good, but not great forwards acquired at the deadline that won't make much of a difference in the end.

McPhee still needs to be fired. Almost two decades (half of it with one of the best players in the world) and no Stanley Cup Finals appearances save for a team he didn't build is long enough. He had his shot. Time to get that guy out of the GM's chair. Not getting it done. Pull the fucking trigger already, Leonsis.
