What happened to Kane?
- thatsapickle

He's looking for a track suit owned by a young lady in Buffalo

What happened to Kane?
- thatsapickle

I traded him

Stupid question...is it Noon on the first, or Midnight on the first that FA officially opens?

So Murray said that he wanted to trade for Kulikov while he was in Ottawa

He really needs to stop saying that

oh ffs


Is this all one big giant FU to ownership there? Like here all the players I would have brought to your organization if you weren't such a cheap bastard.

Did we at least get a bag of pucks or the ever present 2nd?

oh ffs

- Cup Crazy '07

I believe its 12 noon

If the Bolts will do a sign then trade, what do we think would be the piece(s) going back?

FWIW Rivet said a 2nd next year... I don't think that gets it done.
- thatsapickle

My guess is a 2nd and a 3rd. It won't be a lot. Tampa has 0 leverage.

It kind of sounds like that. But I think he just likes his guys, and is a very open person for the most part.

Gotta play nice till they give us Hoffman, then eff them

True I think its mostly that he just likes certain players and is open but I cant help but feel part of it is kind of "see what you missed out on" sorta thing.

Although this latest "i tried to acquire him in ottawa" statement has me fully convinced that plan B to stamkos will be Nash or Hoffman

oh ffs

I don't know man....but he needs to stop saying it

Like, other players exist that have been drafted or have become good since he's been in Ottawa.

Oh who next?
- DDM-Coga

See above

In general yes but they can sign stamkos first since the relief from LTIR will give them that extra space. After that they'll need to move some players around to address other needs. Guys like Bozak and Lupul i imagine.
- Sabresfan-365

LTIR doesn't kick in until the season starts, and they can only go 10% over, but if they have $7M in space right now they'd be able to accommodate his contract, barely. They'd have to make moves after the fact, but they'd still be able to sign him.

I really want no part in Nash. Nerve problems in the back are no trivial matter. They didn't even know it was his back for months. They thought it was his leg, had a ton of scans done before they even thought to look at his back. I have nerve issues in my back and there are days I can barely walk and have to kind of drag my foot. It sucks.

Edit: You know my position on Hoffman.
