Penguins have cap issues.

They have room to cut some low hanging fruit, but they'll have to get really good to make room for another 3.8M in cap hit for ELC with full schedule A.

Good point
They'll have plenty of room if they trade Fleury though

Odd I didn't see the wings on his list of teams he was going to visit today that some have confirmed in the know.

Chowder gets tiring after a while . Wings are forever !!

I've said it before but I think if Boston offers the max money and with a chance to play in their top 6, that is who he signs with.

Turbo and me disagree on this and I don't discount the Eichel connection but just a hunch he goes to Boston.

Boston only makes sense if he just wants to play for the home town team
So many reasons to not choose them


This might help ya feel better...

''Tomorrow, we start to find out what our opportunities are, but I can tell you from Buffalo's standpoint, Jimmy is pleased with what they've done and said thus far,'' Fish told the AP.

I keep reading more & more good things about Buffalo...

The Hawks & Pens have always been my biggest concerns
I feel better about it not being the Hawks, bc of distance & 2nd/3rd contract status. That has to concern Vesey w guys like Shaw, Terravainen, Saad, etc being traded away recently...
The Pens worry me though. They've got some Cap issues, but good teams usually find a way to figure that stuff out.

All signs point to us being right there down to the end though
Besides Pitt,
I actually really like our chances

Kinda seemed to me like the Wings called,
& his agent said no thanks
Idk if they actually met or not?

Hello Arizona?
- SomeoneGerman

I really like what moves Arizona has been making
If they hadn't gotten screwed & got Eichel last year, or got lucky & nabbed Matthews this year, they'd be in darn good shape

If they can add Fleury,
I think that they could be legit playoff contenders
Especially in that division
LA looks like they're about to go downhill

It just might come down to that.

Vegas is the dark horse

Ugh...
That would be enough for me to not wanna come here

I'd assume the kid has to be a pretty big Pat's fan
We should keep Bills talk out of the recruiting process

Vessy to San Jose he wants to play with Thorton lol,but he would look good beside jack in Buffalo! And you would think j.t. in Brooklyn?

KHL can offer the most $$$

Got to watch Philly also. They have the cap space for the base ELC and can make the space for the bonuses. They have a hole in top 6.

Offer him time with Giroux and Simmonds or Giroux and Voracek. (even though I doubt it's a 100% you got that spot offer).

Hextall can be a shrewd guy in this and might be able to sneak in and steal him.

I hope you're right and he chooses us. Detroit was already told Jimmy wants to play closer to home so that would rule out Chicago.

a license to wear zubaz pants, how can a guy so no to that

I never bought the Stamkos to Leafs, but...
NYi is a mess
If the Leafs keep moving in the right direction,
It would not shock me to see Tavares actually go there

It wouldn't shock me if he picks Pitt or the Isles.

I said a month ago Philly could be a good fit for him

Doesn't seem the Leafs are on his list.
