Weird that there are exactly 5 teams in on each of these guys.

I get that Van, I really do. Same here in Chicago with our NFL team formerly known as the Bears. You know, the team that hasn't won sh*t since 1985.

If it is Minny, do the Hawks counter with Duchene?

Golf don't even get me started on the clown show formerly known as the Chicago Bears...

bishop to la

Given his $3M cap hit, I don't think he'll be picked by Vegas, even if his wrist improves (and he's had injury/FO% problems all year, not just recently). So assuming the Hawks will need/want to move him after this year for cap purposes, are they going to have to include a sweetener or otherwise make Kruger part of a larger deal to do so?
- BMWChiFan

Won't Vegas have to get to the cap floor? I'm sure they will take some overpay vets and Kruger isn't too far overpaid.

Dunno, but apparently the Wild are serious

Hearing Ben Bishop is indeed going to the Kings.

- John Jaeckel

No JJ, no.......not Minny. Make it stop!!!

Hearing if deal gets done, Kings get Ben Bishop and pick and TB Lightning would receive Erik Cernak, Budaj and pick #TSN

How does this make sense for LA with Quick back and coming off a win and under a long term deal?

""Edmonton showed again the formula for how you beat the Hawks. Push them around physically and force them outside."

JJ, if that same game was played the same way 10 more times the Hawks would win 9 out of 10. Hawks clobbered em in every way but on the scoreboard as McLellan himself said.

And the last two cups were won with smallish forwards getting pushed around. If the club can add some size, especially a player who can win some draws, without moving Hartman, Schmaltz or a 1st I'll enjoy paying for my playoff tickets.

^^^^Yes. Oilers showed how to have a goalie save their bacon.
