    Jensen Signed 2 YR Extension

    Wonder if this has anything to do with a smith deal falling through? Seems unlikely but this also seems like a weird time to focus on extending Jensen. Maybe it was just an easy process. Whatever the reason, I'm glad to have him.. Jensen has been exciting to watch and I hope he keeps getting better. Figured it'd be cheap. Could turn out to be a steal.. good signing indeed.

    Bishop to Kings: MacKenzie & TSN

    Bingo bango!

    Bishop to Kings: MacKenzie & TSN

    My thoughts exactly.. Cernak is either good or that was the only team offering anything for bishop. Maybe both

    Agree with your wishful thinking but I'd be STOKED if somehow this worked out.. even as more of a package deal.

    Looking ahead at expansion draft

    Yeah my guess for Vegas is probably helm.. but also what seems like most every wings fan view of "hopefully Ericsson or Howard"

    There's no way Tatar or Nyquist is left unprotected.

    TSN guys should have you covered. They retweet anyone else that posts about trades and such.. I follow McKenzie, Dreger, and LeBrun and they pretty much cover everything NHL trades/rumors.

    No, they have to have their final expansion dues payment in or whatever before they can talk to other teams and owner Bill Foley has said they won't have it in by March 1st.

    Tomas Jurco traded to Chicago for a 3rd rounder

    Yeah good value for him.. hope he gets his career on track. Holland did good here.

    Eaves to the ducks edit: don't know why the tweet won't show properly but here's what McKenzie quoted: https://mobile.twitter.com/starsinsideedge/status/835236613760364545 Conditional second round pick good job Jim Nill. Great deal for the stars.

    Semi deadline related a little maybe? blues fans do not seem happy with this.. a lot of "this better be a sign then trade" comments haha

    Ah that's right. I forgot about that stint.. I don't really see Tavares leaving the isles. I'd like him to because I think he's wasted enough of his career, but I don't see it happening.

    I wouldn't be surprised about him wanting to sign with a contender but at a bigger price seems a bit iffy considering where contenders usually stand with cap space. I could see him signing a decent deal with the islanders to play with Tavares

    Pretty sure the whole league is as of earlier this month. Weird that they'd change the rules mid season like that. Edit: link https://www.nhl.com/news/new-goalie-pants-rule-begins-saturday/c-286402244

    Nikita Zaitsev please Really though? where did you see this?

    2017 NHLTrade Deadline Discussion

    Yeah it would definitely take a little more cap management. I am a pretty big fan of more offensive defensemen though, so maybe i over value him a little bit.. but I think he'd be worth it. He's a very good player. Yes. I think he'll be gone then re-signed in free agency; hopefully to not too long of a contract.. 2, maybe 3 years at a decent cap hit.

    2017 NHLTrade Deadline Discussion

    I agree but I don't see why he wouldn't sign a maximum term contract.. 6x7 years was already turned down (maybe because he doesn't want to be in Tampa, who knows), so it might take 7 or 8x7 years. I think thats too much but wouldn't be surprised if someone offered it to him. I might be ok with 7x7 but I wouldn't feel amazed by it.

    See my edit.. I realized it was a little unclear. I'm talking about as a potential free agent signing sorry for the confusion

    Yeah shattenkirk seems very much in it for the free agency big money (can't blame him). I think he's going to test free agency no matter what and St. Louis is going to be stuck losing him for nothing if they don't lower their asking price. If he were open to signing here, what's the most you'd offer him? Edit for clarification: if he were open to signing here this off season, not after a trade.

    Apparently a shattenkirk deal fell apart six weeks ago (reportedly with the bolts) when he didn't agree to a contract extension of 6 mill a year for 7 years. http://nhl.nbcsports.com/2017/02/24/report-potential-shattenkirk-trade-fell-apart-over-contract-talks/

    Diamond Dallas Page donated a TON of money to the world wildlife fund a while back and the fund credited it to some Page Falkinburg guy instead....

    You're right! Totally forgot about that. Filled in on the ducks top line some too.... feels like a lifetime ago.
