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.

Nino & the 15th pick for Seguin!! Get it done Garth!!

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

*drools*

I don't consider Perron, Gagner, Gardiner, Del Zotto or Hemsky to be big names. Heck I don't think Cammalleri is a big name anymore.

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

You know if I had a choice of Letang or Pietrangelo, I'd take former Blues defenseman for $7 million Alex.

So would I dash. Actually for me it wouldn't be close. I'd take Alex in a heartbeat over Letang.

Those aren't chumps though. I'd agree that Hemsky isn't a big name, but the others have done pretty well. Between that and the fight for high draft picks, could be pretty interesting.

I thought that last season was a great success for them to build off. I also think the move to Brooklyn will be equally as exciting. that team has a good future now. I wouldnt be pulling out the pity me isles fan card now...

I thought they had a great season. However, I want to see them do it for a full 82 games before I really believe this team is legit. I'll gladly take Luongo if it means the Canucks will be buying out Dipietro & getting virtually nothing else in return.:

 

[forty_three]

a couple of mocks, if folks like
Y! SPORTS - Rotoworld final mock draft
Hockey Prospectus | Top 100 Draft Prospects 2013: Mock Draft

Hockey Prospectus has Zykov the last pick in the first round. Wasn't there talk of him being a dark horse to move way up? Like 10-15...

And if Wennberg is on the board and the Jackets pick Skinamarinkidink at 14, there will be blood.

Tomorrow is going to be the best day ever

I've been feeling that way for a while



Saw a few interesting numbers on NHL network. Most notable being Ottawa with 17 players signed and 22m in space. Not counting Alfie, but still.

Lecavlier - Spezza - Briere?




Oh, and Jarmo. Peter Regin is a UFA. Call Him.

lol we may as well buyout Luongo (although I dont know who would be cheaper)

yeah 82 is a different story. I would like to have seen last years leafs in 82 as well see if they could have held that together....

I want the Flyers to grab Frasier

I think the Canucks would save about 3M. If they trade Schneider instead Luongo & Torts will be great for the Vancouver media to talk about.

Do you really think after all the crap that's gone on Gillis will actually trade Schneider instead?
