    Holland doesn't expect to be busy this offseason

    Holland doesn't expect to be active this off season? Par for the course..

    HHOF #5 Lidstrom head of 2015 class

    Pronger has got to be the first player to be traded and inducted into the hall of fame in the same off season.
  3. Ah gotcha. I forgot prongers deal was of the front loaded variety.
  4. So will pronger make history and be the first player to get traded and announced to the hall of fame in the same off season?

    Free agents this off season

    meh, I wouldn't have given him that much but figured he'd get it somewhere. wish it weren't the stars ha. source though?
  6. He still counts against the cap and raises the cap ceiling, not the floor as long as he's on LTIR. So, his cap hit is about $5 million.. That 5 million will count against their cap (& help them reach the floor) but with him on LTIR they'll be permitted to spend up to 5 million over the cap (76.4 million) instead of having to stop at the 71.4 where the cap ceiling is set. Or they could allow him to retire and be stuck with those cap penalties but that just seems dumb.

    There's no one in free agency this year worth overpaying

    New Coyotes jerseys for 2015-2016

    I think I like the jerseys. I assume the helmets will be black..? The dark jersey looks a lot better than the white though imo.

    New Coyotes jerseys for 2015-2016

    The only problem with the "las Vegas coyotes" is that Bettmans stubbornness & refusal to admit that hockey doesn't work as well as he thought in Arizona outweighs his desire for expansion

    Grade the Wings 2015 Draft

    And re: them choosing a goalie. I do agree with it. We need someone past mrazek and while someone might emerge who's already in the pipeline, another option is a welcome addition imo. And I read somewhere that they almost took him in the third round and were shocked he was still there in the fourth so hopefully that ends up being a value pick. I can only imagine how upset people would be around here if they did that

    Grade the Wings 2015 Draft

    This would be cool as a poll. Not sure if you can change it now..? I'd agree on a B though

    Datsyuk Has Ankle Surgery

    I think Larkin will start in GR but he has as good of a chance as any waiver exempt player not to. and in this scenario, I was assuming Franzen wouldn't be back yet to start the year, I'm about 50/50 on that. But I just don't see where weiss fits in if Larkin get a chance at the wings roster out of training camp. And I guess you could say Andersson/Ferrero but I think most, if not all of us, can agree on who we'd want out of those two.

    Datsyuk Has Ankle Surgery

    Nyq-z-Abby Tatar-sheahan-pulk Helm-larkin-jurco Miller-glendog-ferrero Something like that if Larkin gets a chance while datsyuk is out..? Idk if he will but I wouldn't be opposed. Our line up could benefit a lot from a Joel ward type signing. But I'd only want him for two years probably and it's looking like he wants four. Either way, I hope pav makes a full recovery asap. He's our best defenseman.
  15. Players on LTIR still count against the cap but allow their team to go over the cap by as much money as their cap hit, I believe.

    #19 OA Evgeny Svechnikov

    There weren't many forwards I would've wanted in the first round over a couple of the d men that were there.. But that said, I like this pick. I bet he's thrilled to get to potentially play around datsyuk.. at the very least at camp. It'll be fun to follow his last junior season. Hope he can build on what he's already accomplished & next year we can start talking about how he'd go top five if he would've been drafted a year later

    Dougie hamilton to calgary

    I think they'll definitely try. Maybe ROR is a possibility as well if they can shed some salary. But after this move, I don't think I'll try to guess what they're thinking I expect at least one more pretty big trade out of them this off season though

    Dougie hamilton to calgary

    There's gotta be another move coming. Perhaps involving lucic. It was expected by some that the new gm would make bold moves.. I'd say this counts.
