The offseason stuff thread

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

for fancy stats people, here's a $2.775m player.
summary... yeesh
alternative summary.... intangibles!!

so presumable it's not the Isles for Johnny T, because their advantage (the 8th year) is off the table as of midnight.

Logical

The only thing I can say with certainty is these so called insiders know nothing. They will tell you "he wont go to Toronto and be #2" and in the same breath tell you "he does not want the limelight of Toronto". Either you are an alpha, or you arent.

At this point, he either wants to come home, or he goes to San Jose. I dont see any of the other short list teams that have demonstrable advantages over TOR or SJS.

Cue up Bobby Mac tweeting "JT signs in BOS" in 3, 2, 1

Shero did trade for James Neal, so wouldn't be shocking if he signed him. Would be a nice boost for the power play assuming we don't break the bank.

I'm hearing (reading) both Beagle and Roussel are headed to Vancouver. Roussel is Burrows 2.0, am I right?

If you only follow one twitter feed, it has to be Booby Mac

Where else do you learn Roman Polak is going to Dallas

They don't call him the Bobfather for nothing.

Mirtle reporting that JT has rejected the idea of a one year max deal.

Does that rule out the home town? Maybe

I'm worried that he's headed to San Jose. I'd rather see him in Toronto.

If he knows the way to San Jose, it will have to be the low pressure environment. Pavelski and Couture both UFA after this season. IMO their future is no brighter than TOR. Cali is one of the few places where taxes get close to Ontario levels.

Report: Logan Couture expected to sign eight-year extension with Sharks

Sounds like Stastny is headed to Vegas - Jets cleared cap space as well as sending Armia and a draft pick to Buffalo and it looks like they're not going to land their target.

$8M per year is a good deal for SJS.

I hope so.
I like him as a player. He's a very good one but, not a great one. Perhaps that's just the new norm in contracts

Oh, and Matt Martin is happy this frees up some ice time at LW

And yeah it's basically Burrows.

My guess is Martin is with the Sens by the end of the offseason.

Vanek 1 year at $3 million seems like a steal.
