When I'm looking at cup contenders, I put them in a different atmosphere the Wings are years away from something like that. I fully agree with you, Green could work out or completely blow up in a spectacular fashion. I mean Trotz is demanding his players to be defensively responsible and I hope Blashill will do the same, if Green buys in this could a good signing but if not thanks it's only for 3 years. Tyler Myers basically is a young Chara, so not a good comparison.

Nobody knows when Pasha will be back and it's really a low risk, high reward signing.

Man I just looked at their prospect pool it's seems a bit...empty Pittsburgh is really going for it while Malkin and Crosby are still in their primes. Doesn't surprise me at all that Lemieux wants to sell soon he knows the future isn't bright. But man the Toronto Media just can't write a simple thank you Kessel good luck in Pittsburgh, no they've to bring up that he was ackward no he wasn't, he just doesn't like to talk to idiots like Feschuk, Simmons and all the others. Which is completely understandable I easily see him as a 40 + goalscorer now, Crosby will gift him the puck and he will use his unreal wristshot to finish it

Would have prefered - as mentioned - Franson he is better defensively, a more physical player and can chip in a point here and there. The panel on TSN just discussed Mike Green and they basically said he's a powerplay magician but a trainwreck defensively.

Well low risk, high return if it works nice if it doesn't no buyout needed. I like this signing

I'd rather have franson than Green but neither is top pairing calibre. Wonder where Phaneuf will land

Good god how much longer are these unfunny, stupid Cleary planned to go on? Guy either ends his career our signs a two way contract somewhere. Shanahan got fleeced by Rutherford

Kessel will score a lot of goals add Crosby's winger Really happy for him that Toronto media new needs to find another target...sorry feshuck, Simmons

Or maybe the Panthers are taking him back there are definately teams but I'm pretty sure this will be a very underwhelming frenzy unless one of Torontos big boys is getting traded.

There will be for sure teams offering him a contract, I could see teams like the Leafs making him a reasonable offer.

All they need to do now is trade Bickell and Sharp = + ~ 10 mill capspace

Meh search function just didn't work only dated back to 2014 for whatever reason that being said, yeah I completely forgot Horton. Too bad back injuries basically ended his career

Trying to search for it because I'm interested in it buy anyhow, I'm wishing him nothing but the best and hopefully a longer lasting career elsewhere.

By whom ? If I'm remembering it correctly David Clarksson was considered one of the top free-agents.

Wouldn't surprise me at all if Sweeney breaks the remaining bank for Green or Franson lol

Jenner, Johanson, Johnson, Saad not bad not bad at all. If the Blue Jackets can stay healthy watch out. It still amazes me how GMs are expecting hometown discounts like it's the usual thing to do. Why should a player sign for less? As a thank you they'll get a lockout every x years or when they are well into their 30s how can we get rid of you fast enough. So it's great to see players in their 20s finally getting their paydays before UFA

Oh look after the ridiculous Mantha hype now it's Larkin .. This team isn't going anywhere so why not let him get used to the pro game in the ahl and call him up for a few games here and there Best of luck to Weiss

******* steal by that finish GM

Maybe Julien and him didn't get along ? Maybe the media was just an annoying bunch. But whatever the case was this is a real steal for Calgary will be a bargain in 3 years this is also a good comparison for Danny D. hope he will settle for a somewhat similar deal

No thanks let him go back to the highest bidder, Russia or whatever the last thing this team needs is another soft underperforming player

Sweeney on line 1

Signed for 6x6 according to Dreger http://www.tsn.ca/flames-hamilton-reach-six-year-extension-1.321992

They remind me on the senators in terms of colors

Sign a former now over the hill ex Wing, kick some tires and wait for a "hockey deal" then he'll give his presser stating that he likes this team, injured player # will be like an UFA/trade deadline acquisition and the prices were to high. And that's from the former most active GM every damn year it's frustrating as hell. Next year we can just change the title to 2016 and it will still be same UFA day used to be our christmas and Santa Holland provided the necessary pieces god, meanwhile the Hawks have won 3 championships in the last 6 years, made the western conference finals 2 times and the Kings have won 2 in 4 AND they've added Looch but yeah no hockey-deals..

Just listened to Macramella on TSN and he basically said, it will be near impossible for the Kings to pull this of. Other leagues I think it was the NFL and MLB have tried it and failed with all their attempts and according to him the problems were much more serious then this. Don't forget Richards is loaded with money so I'm sure he has his own "very nice" gym at one of his mansions. Personally I think the only chance they have if it's something extremely serious and I don't think Richards is a guy that would do something so outrageaus. I mean this is the same team that hasn't terminated the animal's contract yet and this guy beat up on his girlfriend and like I said Richards doesn't come of as a guy who would something more serious than this. But man if this ends up with the Kings losing the Kings reputation might take a huge hit. Wonder if they can settle this before the start of the pre-season games if not this might be a story for months to come.
