I happened to look at TSN's transaction page and noted this:

Winnipeg - Jason King Signed

Would that happen to be the same Jason King that was a one hit wonder here in Van? Thought concussions ended his career.

Didn't know.

The Mattress line...two twins and a King....

i bet Jokinen goes to buffalo now
- numbear

what line would you play him on. Not much room at centre.

So of the tough guys that we discussed about a month back, all seemed to be out of our reach now.

Kenopka to MIN
Carkner to NYI
Downie re-upped in COL
Ott to BUF

Is there anyone left?
- AlexF

The first 2 are not good hockey players, I wouldn't have them in the lineup unless we play the Bruins again and the last 2 were highly unlikely. I want toughness that can play and Kostopoulos and Bradley are still out there. The Hawks signed a better version of Carkner, Sheldon Brookbank would have been a decent 6/7 d-man.

How many careers has the twins benefited!? Crazy when you think about it. They could moonlight as agents.

- bloatedmosquito

they have a lot of centres I agree. I personally always thought Jokinen would be better on the wing. And having him is insurance if Ennis/Hodgson can't handle the 1st line. Ott is a great 3rd liner, maybe 2nd (thats a stretch)

I'm pretty stoked on Buffalo. Hope they don't get Joker. But I can see some logic behind it

Can confirm #Sabres are looking to deal one of their d-men. Sekera is on the block. Ehrhoff will only go IF deal makes sense. #NHLDucks

Hockeyy Insiderr‏@HockeyyInsiderr

#Sabres source mentioned Ehrhoff is VERY unlikely to be moved. But #NHLDucks are trying hard.

Ballard to the Ducks for Ryan.

Sounds totally reasonable. We might have to add Raymond though.

Interesting.

Getting ryan on buffalo would really put them in a great direction

MT @reporterchris: Jason Garrison's deal has an odd structure: $5.5 million next season followed by $6.5M, $5M, $4.5M, $3.6M and $2.5M.

Ballard for Ehrhoff.

very odd to go higher on the first few years with the sedans and burrows up. But I guess that doesn't matter in terms of cap

Cap is really the only thing that matters for teams that are raking it in.

Smar move by Gillis, his cap hit will be high during the last 2 years but if MG needs to move him then a team that needs to get to cap floor will definitely be interested because the actual dollar amount is lower.

Ballard for Ehrhoff.
- Shorty's ritalin

Another totally realistic proposal.

I wonder how Shanaban is feeling today with Bettman reducing the sentence for Torres by four games...

Trade Breaker‏@NHLTradesFirst

East, Ryan Suter will be a Red Wing. If Parise signs with the Wild, I was told Suter will follow him there. Interesting.


Hearing a few sources say Suter to Wings.

If Parise signs with the Wild Suter will follow if he signs in the East Suter will sign with the wings.

Interesting. If the two of them go as a package that would make any team they land with infinitely better.

Price 6 years $39 (6.5 cap) million, Luongo just keeps looking better and better.

Why trade him at that price we have a bargain

I like Konopka. Always does well on faceoffs, tough player, and had a good playoffs with Ottawa.
I would have offered Boyes 1M as well.
Not sure who is still out there we would actually want. I think Gillis needs to look at adding players to the Luo deal and see if he can get a better return that way.

With the Boyes contract in mind, offering similar to Huse would make sense for Vancouver. Dumping Ballard would easily give us oodles of space for Doan still.

I like the idea of grabbing TomKom for a cheap 4th liner, Bradley I noticed a bit when he played in Washington, was never bad but never an omg why is this guy a 4th liner good.
