Did they ban them yet? Don't tell Liam Neeson...he'll blow a gasket.

Flyers won

I'm genuinely confused as to how the Flames trading two players (who had both asked for a trade) for 3 picks constitutes ""'going for it' and sacrificing the future (or at least part of the future)."

Unless you use picks to buy your way into the wildcard spots at a season-end auction? Did I miss that becoming a thing?

this is the offer sheet compensation:

Cap Hit of offer sheet Draft Pick Compensation
$1,110,249 or below None
Over $1,110,249 to $1,682,194 Third-round pick
Over $1,682,194 to $3,364,391 Second-round pick
Over $3,364,391 to $5,046,585 First-round and third-round pick
Over $5,046,585 to $6,728,781 First-round, second-round and third-round pick
Over $6,728,781 to $8,410,976 Two first-round picks, second-round pick, third-round pick
Over $8,410,976 Four first-round picks

to make an offer sheet that the Rangers wouldn't match, probably would be in the 7 million range I bolded, which you see the compensation for.

NYR would luv Stepan signed as an RFA for that compensation

How did the Sharks show they are trying to win a battle? Looks more like throwing in the towel to me...

OOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! Ok. Thanks... Just couldn't put my finger on it!

LeSean McCoy is on the Bills now

Biggest trade deadline acquisition this year IMHO tbh

Please think before you type.

You maybe right about Chicago but the Kings, despite their inability to show up during the regular season, and the Rangers will be around for a few more years.

Such a blanket statement to throw out there. The Islanders and Predators came out of nowhere and have looked strong. But what makes you think they will sustain this year after year?
- MidnightMarauder

Yeah, you guys are right, the 'Hawks are goners in a few months.

Typothetical*

All of us do have to remember that it should be very, very interesting come draft day as a lot of the picks will change again

Not a single apology for your sources misleading you all year long and not predicting or breaking a single trade??? You have less accountability then the Leafs.


- DinoRondelly

any one of us could make a site and toss out some bogus rumors and have none of them ever happen, and then just report trades as we hear them form reputable sources (sources we ALL have access to)

i come here literally for Bill Meltzer and to read comments from posters who tear Ek apart for his fake rumors and "sources".

he's feeding on the one weakness we all have: we just wanna talk hockey. there are no "sources". none of these "rumors" will ever come true. and yet we all come back..

Very great move by the Rangers I think. They probably have the best D in the ligue. They were one of the favorites before that trade, Lundqvist is 33 so they have to push hard for the cup in the next 3 years after that they will still have a good team but maybe not a contender anymore with Lundqvist tuning 37... we never knows but...

Good trade by the Ducks et Jets.

Good returns for the Yotes.

No matter theses rumours are true or not, it fun to read and discuss... With all these serious insider around us... Great job by Ek to be a little bit less serious and to entertain us with all those fun rumours.

things i learned from this thread:

the predators have a fan

Scottie Upshall playing goalie for the Panthers

enough with the neverending ads!!!!!!
