So they dropped that silly compensation rule but didn't make it retroactive?

Makes sense.

Yeah, it'd be nice to not have to give Detroit or NJ a third rounder for a coach and executive they didn't want around anymore anyway.

But this is the NHL, where most new ideas are handled so incompetently that everybody hates them almost immediately after coming into effect.

Coach's Challenge for Offside

So dumb. Like when NJ got Shero years after he was canned and still had to cough up a pick.

Evened out with Lou lol.

My favourite is still Edmonton coughing one up for Chia and then having his old team trade their best D-man that the Oilers wanted bad to their provincial rivals. Savage, ruthless.

I guess Wilson thinks Dell can't handle the backup role, so he'll be shipped out.

Treliving loves those Yotes.

Treliving loves Miltsy.

[jstewismybastardson]

Miltsy didnt have Cgy on his list but it came out yesterday that he wanted Jimbo to bring him every offer available

I doubt that Calgary is on his 5 team list.

/How about Miller to Edmonton for Eberle?
Edit: confirmed by jstew above.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Filppula and the Sens make sense.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

I doubt that Calgary is on his 5 team list.

reports say he will look at anything (any team) now

I think it would behoove (YES BEHOOVE!!!!) Miltsy to accept other teams ... goalie market is dead right now ... his options are VERY slim right now this offseason ... barring a shitty John Gibson playoff performance (which is a possibility i guess), he will not be in Anaheim July 1 ... he needs other teams to need/want him otherwise he will be looking at Jimbos number on his call display July 1

Ryan Miller has posted a .9255 even-strength save percentage this year, one of the best in the NHL despite playing for a team that may as well be playing in Utica. He’s in the final year of his contract and may not cost much given the quality of general manager in place in Vancouver.

Is Miller better than Elliott? I think he is, even though Elliott has played much better as of late. It could help the Flames make the playoffs, would the Canucks be willing to take Elliott back though?

/plus a draft pick or prospect
