I'd much rather have Stempniak for just a couple million and no assets. I just don't like Benoit "balls" so maybe that's clouding my judgement.

I think we need someone of that caliber if we want to roll 3 good lines.

I still think Kane on the 3rd line, forechecking and not having to think too much might be his best spot.

With both the issue is health.

Would lines look like this:

Reinhart/Player X-O'Reilly-Ennis
Player X/Reinhart-Eichel-Vesey
Kane-Girgensons-Foligno
Deslauries-Larsson-Gionta?

So Archer got 3 more seasons. Do they just say they were both robots in the season finale? Or is there going to be a Barry type situation?

So the Oilers are getting Lucic and Demers

I think Lucic takes the bigger payday in Vancouver, Demers would be a good fit in Edmonton.

9/10 money wins out, this may be the 1 but I'll believe that when I see it.

Curtis Stock is adamant that the deal is already done with Lucic and Edmonton.

Only reason Moulson Ennis and Girgensons played well together let's see if they can reconnect and then hope Vegas takes Moulson after next year.

For those like me wondering why stuff on Stamkos has been real quiet...


Down Goes Brown ‏@DownGoesBrown
A reminder that teams aren't actually allowed to negotiate specifc terms or make deals with free agents during the conversation period.

Down Goes Brown ‏@DownGoesBrown
Not saying there's never under-the-table stuff. But if a deal leaked out ahead of time ... would be interesting.

A lot of finesse required here. I don't understand why they wouldn't just make it like the NBA.
- Sabresfan-365

Very true. But can you imagine a DeAndre Jordan situation with Stamkos?? That would be crazy.

No way nelson is the 7th guy, he's either in the top 6 or in Roc. I'd rather him be in Rochester so he can get big minutes and develop his game. Unless he's ready for the NHL. He did impress with his games last year, so who knows?

We'll see on Friday I guess.

He is probably a better fit for a partner with gorges than pylon franson. Isn't he?

Seems to be a consistent theme across the NHL.

Yes. We need at least one more top 4 guy.

Just got back from cooks forest . 4hrs of kayaking will give one hell of a sun burn.

No internet or cell at the cabin we stayed at . Great time

Apparently lucic already chose the Oilers it's all over
