Give lack of quality UFA D-men, intrigued seeing where #ducks ship Fowler. Big upside at 24. #wings interested. Wld be good add for #leafs.

will never happen. Holland would have to give a player up that he wants to resign for more money and more term then they are worth. no way this happens.

Well with the Helm signing we definitely have wingers to spare.

Got this feeling I'm gonna have to change my name soon to redwingsarethefuture

Fowler for nyquist is gonna happen I'm sure .... Wish we coukd get trouba or brodin instead though

[marcaractac 3,963]

Flyers/Steve Mason??

Anything really. Whatever it takes to turn a 3 year hit into just 1, while we have the space. Then hope for better luck in UFA next year with even more money.

[AtlantaHotWings 987]

I expect him to be a Red Wing by 5 pm EST.

For 5.2 million X 8 years

at this point, use the dats cap space to rid Howard. Offer him up and take back only a bad contract back, that has a shorter term. Basically trade Howard's 3 years for a player on a s*** contract but only has one year left. To a team in need of a goalie.

and who'd you bring to backup Mrazek?

But, but, but - Holland might have to give up something in return...

Besides other things, let it be E...

Wow! Nielson is being ranked by TSN as their #3 UFA. Maybe there is more to this guy then I realize.

Yea with Helm signed we can give up 2 or 3 of our up and coming youngsters and a 1st rounder for fowler.

Literally anybody is an improvement. And cheaper.

[Datsyukian-Deke 722]

How much tampering is going on. No way these guys work out the term and money 2 minutes into free agency. They aren't supposed to be talking money.

They've had the past week to negotiate. Today is just the soonest they can put the pen to paper.

Some horrible contracts being handed out.

Ladd signs with NYI

[TheDetroitRedWings 286]

Ladd to islanders 7 years, 5.5 per

5.5 is actually not that bad for Ladd, considering all the talk about teams having to overpay today. Term is too long though.

[amato 3,210]

7 years / 5.5 per for Ladd

Lucic gets 7 / 6 from EDM

They weren't allowed to talk money or term until July 1st

[TheDetroitRedWings 286]

Lucic signs with Edmonton

Eriksson to Vancouver

Ouch...will be very interested to see the term/money on those deals.

[marcaractac 3,963]

Terrified to see the cap hit on this one

[VM1138 1,921]

The league needs to limit term to 5 years. Increase turnover and prevent teams from screwing themselves over for big chunks of years.

Both are too long in term, but the money is actually not too crazy like I thought it would be.
