The offseason stuff thread

I see some skin rashes in their future.

The little used trade for a player's equipment to be used later.

The Montreal Canadiens moved 21-year-old defence prospect Simon Bourque for a serviceable player in Joel Armia, a 2019 seventh-round pick and a 2018 fourth rounder in a trade with the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday.
The price was taking 30-year-old goaltender Steve Mason’s expiring $4.1 million cap hit off Winnipeg’s books


Mason on buyout waivers already

Looks like the Jets are creating cap space to sign Paul Stastny.

Even the clueless bergevin knows how to weaponize cap space

I had seen somewhere that the canucks a couple years back were “responsible” for driving the price/term up on brouwer for the flames lol.

Flames returning the favour now lol

I don't know who all of these teams are that apparently got left at the altar by Ryan Reaves but I know a great guy making about the same amount for the same term who I bet could be had. He's great with the kids too I hear.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Guess that makes sense.

I like JVR, but that's pricey.

Jesus that's alot

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

I like JVR, but that's pricey.

He had 36 goals this year and hasn't had fewer than 27 in a full season in the last 5 years.

I'd sure as shit take him over Evander Kane for that money and you're getting 2 fewer years on the contract too.

JVR would have certainly helped the Flames PP, but getting rid of Dave Cameron was step 1

I like JVR, but that's pricey.

between that and Reaves at $2.8m, it feels like the needle has moved again.
