Ongoing NHL thread - Part III

I thought the article was written by Ron Duguay...

Haha - Yes, Duguay certainly had some beautiful flowing locks, but he loses points for this atrocity...

True North Strong and Free?

League and player sources have confirmed that Jets captain Andrew Ladd has asked for a six-year deal worth at least $41 million, that defenceman Dustin Byfuglien has requested $55 million over eight years and that defenceman Jacob Trouba wants more than $56 million over the maximum eight years allowed in the league’s CBA with its players.

I don't see how Hamonic doesn't end up in Winnipeg for Trouba, it's where he wants to be and Garth Snow gets a fine defenseman in Trouba that he will have to pay to keep in Brooklyn.

IMO, only guy worth those numbers is Buff. Let Ladd walk (if Winnipeg are in a playoff race, otherwise trade him) and either move Trouba for Hamonic like you said or trade his rights at the draft.

Just read that and thought was this april fools or something? I can't believe someone took Scuderi.

PIT retains 1/3rd of Scuderi's salary in that CHI-PIT trade

Scuderi must really suck at pushups.

I just saw the replay - Looks like Fleury got wrapped up with Reverend Lovejoy.

Honestly that is a steal getting Daley for 1/3 of Scuderi's salary. If not they would have been eating the whole thing here in a few weeks when he would have eventually been waived.

Holtby is playing great tonight for the Caps.

I haven't laughed that hard at a NHL transaction since the Engelland signing where I thought the dollar amount was for 3 years and not per season.

The Force must have been awoken because that is some Jedi mind trick type trade.

Some GM's must think if ex-Penguin d-men worked for the Capitals it must work for all teams?

Maybe the Pens want Engelland back?

Don't laugh there are some fans that would want him back because this team needs "grit".

You can dare to dream (and give dare a nightmare)

I mean, there is no defending the amount of money the Flames signed him for a year and a half ago, but he's been pretty solid for the Flames (put it this way, the team has bigger problems than Deryk).
