For opposing players needing an attitude adjustment, what about Maxim Lapierre from Vancouver, if it doesn't come to fruition with Cooke? He's 28 with a cap hit of $1M. Loves to hit and can't keep his mouth shut.

I would be into that, but he's a natural center I think. The guy can fly and hit.

Always loved Lapierre but I think he'll ask for too much from us. If Bylsma is not too confortable with Vitale, Lapierre would be a decent pick up.

Larose seems like a guy shero would grab in free agency, or someone else we aren't speaking about

I would have absolutely no problem with that. His last cap hit was $1.7M so he might be a tad pricey. Big hitter, too.

I'd take Hendricks, Lapierre before Larose...if we can get two of them it would be a nice reshaping

Wonder if the pens could sign emery and unload fleury some how.

You trust Vokoun and Emery to play 40+ games each?

Emery did mighty fine when Crawford was injured. However I'd be worried with emerys injury past

Grabo was bought out. Leafs are making some interesting moves

Buying out Grabovski is an incredibly poor decision. He is very good. They totally misused him.

Signing Bozak long term will only add to the poor decisions.

Apparently they must feel good with Clarkson signing there

Cannot believe that Elias got $16.5M for 3 more years at NJ...plus he's 37 years old.

Its an overpay, but without new ownership, NJ wont be a cap team

Now they can overspend on Bozak & Clarkson or just give Orr more ice time.

@DarrenDreger: Huge trade in the works. Boston and Dallas close on a deal sending Tyler Seguin to Stars for Loui Eriksson. Other parts involved as well.

Damn... I guess this depends on what the other parts of the deal is

Wow that's a huge move just with those two.

Great move for Boston. Eriksson fits what they do way better than Seguin.

@DarrenDreger: As i said...multiple pieces to Seguin-Eriksson deal. Other players could be involved as well.
Blockbuster

- Ryan_Wilson

He also mentioned the bruins would be getting some picks or prospects. Stars must be overvaluing seguin, or undervaluing eriksson

Edit: now some believe perverley may be added to the deal. I just want to see this deal go down just for the sake of seeing a "blockbuster" trade
