Draft Day/Tradapalooza Thread

@RenLavoieRDS: Talking about goaltenders Panthers are shopping Scott Clemmensen. One year left. 1.2 M is the cap hit. #RDS"

making room for LOOOOUUUUUNGOOOOO, of course

of course

I hope this is true, stick it to the Blues

Strickland is legit. And the Blues are his beat.

I don't think either Letang or Pete are worth that much. But...Pete's on RFA, so he can't really be THAT picky.

Buttercup on the move?

TSNBobMcKenzie: Echoing info from @Russostrib, but MIN's Cal Clutterbuck is likely to be dealt this weekend.

 

[mattola]

this could be fun

Renaud Lavoie ‏@RenLavoieRDS 1m
Bruins are really active right now. Tyler Seguin is one of the players that could be traded. Lightning is one of many teams in the mix.

Elliotte Friedman ‏@FriedgeHNIC 53s
Been in New Jersey for half a day. I think everyone in the NHL is going to be traded. It's crazy.

Darren Dreger ‏@DarrenDreger 1m
Buckle up. @TSNBobMcKenzie has some interesting news.

 

[dash]

I'd take Seguin on the Flames, although I don't know what the Bruins would like in return.

Not 100 per cent yet but looks like Nathan Horton will NOT be back with BOS. B's talking trade and Tyler Seguin's name has been discussed.

 

[pixburgher66]

Seriously...this thread title may be right on.

@MolinariPG 40s
Shero's bottom line on 58 talks: "Our hope is to try to get him signed + we’ll continue to work on that until it’s not apparent that we can"

I'm holding to the idea that if a deal isn't done before 3pm tomorrow, Letang is gone...at least on the block. Apparently he hasn't been shopped yet, but Shero has been fielding calls from teams to "keep them in mind".

Teams calling about big namers like Seguin, Perron, Plekanec, Cammalleri, Ryan, Vanek, Gagner, Hemsky, Versteeg, E Kane, Gardiner, Del Zotto

*drools*

@Rick_City 12m
Shero on Letang today: “I can’t try to sign a guy and try to trade him at the same time. I’m going to try to sign him,”

@Rick_City 12m
Shero on Staal last June: “I can't try to negotiate a contract with Jordan and a trade with another team at the same time.

On potential BOS moves, B's have contract/financial work to do. Bergeron likely to get an 8 yr extension worth $6.5M+/yr.

@TSNBobMcKenzie 1m
Not sure what term Rask's new deal will be but I'd count on it being in the $7M/year range. Rask's agent Bill Zito to meet B's this weekend.

B's have some work to do...

explains why Seguin is up to trade now

explains why Seguin is up to trade now

It makes sense really...between all of that (which makes sense), he's also a natural center playing wing. Not gonna play center with Bergeron/Krejci.

Yo.

 

[pixburgher66]

You know...I thought the Pens were in a crappy cap situation, but I don't envy the Bruins at the moment.

 

[pixburgher66]

Looks like it's official that Horton won't be back for Boston.

 

[pixburgher66]

@TSNBobMcKenzie 1m
Horton's agent Paul Krepelka: "Nathan has told BOS he wants to explore free agency. It's not a financial issue, just a decision to move on."

Not sure I believe that it's not financial...don't blame any guy for wanting to cash in.
