Justin Falk is a guy who can play all the time, could this be a prelude to another deal? another lefty to me something else will happen.

Mike Smith, six-year deal with an AAV of $5.67 million. Is Hank worth $3-4 mil more annually?

Hank will be the highest paid goalie in the league... whatever that will be.

The top half of the first round is deep, and teams are holding on to those picks, so I don't see us going there," director of player personnel Gordie Clark said. "But we'll be watching to see if players we like will be available in the second round or fall. Whatever, we believe we can get good players in the third and later."

One of #Canes many offers to trade down for #5th pick comes from #Sabres at 8th. Swap would cost Sabres one of their D man. Myers?

christ idk if we can pony up an offer like that. former calder winner in myers to move down 3 spots....although myers is kind of a bum recently.

myers is getting paid stupid salary though so idk if the canes can even afford him.

"They note that he lacks consistency in the physical game and that he shouldn’t be expected to put up many points"

Great he is the defensive version of Brian Boyle

Like I said, hes here to be Hank's personal body guard. Even if he is a lefty, expect no shooting and very minimal passing.

Well if he lacks consistency in the physical game, I wouldn't call him Hanks body guard.

He looked to be on pace for about 90-100 hits these last 2 years, so we will see.

They do say he has above average skating for his size though, so thats a plus.

Bobrovsky being offered to teams by the Blue Jackets. Told he wants $6 mil per. Columbus in market for a goalie.


Shopping Bob's? No playoffs for CBJ.

Well he is getting offered 10 million a year to play in Russia so I don't blame him for going for as much money as he can

McDonagh, Girardi, Moore, Staal, Del Zotto, Stralman, and now Falk. Are they acquiring him to be the 7th defensemen, or to serve to play on the third pair if someone is moved?

Ya know... we underestimate how much cap space we have without signing Clowe.

Even with a 7th D in Falk (signing for 1.1m), with keeping Powe as a healthy scratch. About 4.9 million in cap space.

Replace Eminger as the 6th/7th guys is my guess

I have a feeling hes going to be a 6th defenseman with Stralman... one of our other defenseman will get traded. I have a feeling Eminger will be back on the cheap as a 7th defenseman.
