I hope Shat goes deep into free agency without getting money. He was Washingtons worst defender in the playoffs.

Somebody will overpay. I just think Rangers And Gorton are getting away from that

Can't see it being Philly. Hexy has to replace Shenn's production somehow

Rangers will over pay for Shats. Only because thats what they do. Someone should make them watch the playoffs and realize he isn't worth wrecking your Cap Situation for. Especially now that you need to replace Stepan and Raanta.

Ek, I know the Ducks don't carry much weight on this site but Bergevin and Murray had a lengthy conversation on the draft floor in full view of EVERYBODY. What, and who, the hell do you think they were talking about? How about maybe humoring the few of us that read this stuff and throw us a tidbit every now and then?

They were talking about the old days playing together on the Blackhawks and how the game and the players were different back then. A fight was a fight rather than a contrived dance discussed before the drop of the puck. And, the boys did not tap each other on the back of the head after it was over. The money wasn't as big back then, but the hearts of the players were more into the sport of hockey then they are now into the money/business of the sport. Everything is now about marketing and maximizing revenues even down to the level of the entry level players. There are no true rivalries like then where teams despised each other and each game was a competitive war. Now everybody goes through the motions and it is just not the same on an emotional level as years gone by.

That's all I was able to hear from where I was sitting.

...

There are only a few teams who can take on that sort of salary and most won't for Phaneuf...not because they don't like him, but because he is overpaid by about 20%.

Agreed ...

McPhee tried to make a deal with Hextall but he couldn't because Hexy was too busy talking with Ek.

Also, Hamonic was never the key player in a deal for Duchene

In other words, you've been purposefully misleading your readers for the past 2 months.

Leafs are gonna shock everyone by signing both Alzner and Shattenkirk.

Babcock loves for his dmen pairings to be split righty and lefty for balance.

The Leafs currently have:
Reilly (L)
Gardiner (L)
Zaitsev (R)
Carrick (R)

Adding Alzner (L) and Shattenkirk (R) makes sense in terms of what Babcock likes. Now the Leafs still have Marncin and Marchenko who are Lefty and Righty respectively.

Adding Alzner and Shattenkirk allows Zaitsev to move down to 2nd pairing while Shattenkirk plays with Reilly, and Carrick to move to 3rd pairing with Alzner.

Leafs also still have Lupul ($5.25mill) and Horton ($5.3mill) who they can put on LTIR and use their combined cap hit for Shattenkirk and Alzner who I see getting $6.5mill and $4.5mill respectively.

Presumably Babcock loves his dmen to play defense, no?
