Pretty much.

It's weird to me that Carolina has the most expensive defensive group in the NHL now.

- BINGO!


Won't change much sadly.

Just skimmed the blog and saw ""Horse-Trader Extraordinaire" then saw Karlsson and threeway in comments.

I didn't know GMJR rode horses let alone traded them with other people.

Rangers already have an inconsistent backup.

You know a rumour is so bad that even fans of the team getting Karlsson are like, with what assets? I mean the crap offers that are going for Karlsson are bad but there's no fit at all...

Makes no sense. Replacing a winger like Kessel is a nightmare and would hurt PIT more than acquiring Karlsson. Unless you can get Stone back as well, or have a separate trade to get a top RW for Shutlz/Letang, I don't see how this even starts to make sense for PIT

When Ek says he's "starting" to get an idea of where Panarin will end up...

I'm hearing Edmonton is back in talks with Ottawa, as are the Islanders, Rangers, Lightning, Stars, Lakers, and reps from Dancing with the Stars.

If you think for a second that Kessel would be the only guy leaving Pittsburgh in a Karlsson deal, You're DELUSIONAL !

- DeuceNine

The Rangers expected backup this season proved himself well in his first 10 NHL games last season, while playing behind a poor team which was also ripped apart at the trade deadline to begin a rebuild.
Alexandar Georgiev's .918 SAVE %, along with his poise and confidence shown in goal for 10 games, was better than the "inconsistency" in the .906% of who you should only be worried about in Jake Allen for being your Blues #1 STARTER.
If you were referring to Ondrej Pavelec as being that Rangers "inconsistent" backup, even his .910% in 19 games played, was better than Allen's, making Allen then be even more "inconsistent" than you and Blues fans would have thought. What was the reason for you and your Blues fans screaming in madness for them to start Carter Hutton even more after mid last season than the 26 starts of 32 games he played in? That, along with his 2.09 GAA to Allen's 2.75 GAA, for a 94 points Blues team that missed reaching the postseason by a whole 1 point only.
Pavelec is still a free agent, if you yourself want desperately to sign him.

Depending on what the Jackets would give up for him, Skinner to CBJ makes sense if they trade Panarin.

Would Skinner waive to go to Columbus is a different story....

- BINGO!


Why not...they have a good team... its not like Raleigh is much more attractive than Colombus...

On paper also top 5 in the league. You can never have too many efficient Dmen on your team.

Eklund, just so you know i'm hearing Skinner to Tampa Bay is very close. The deal would involve Johnson.

Also, hearing Edmonton has interest in Jonathan Toews.

Gotta look deeper into this

It has layers

Karlsson is going to play on Crosby's wing

This is about getting a winger for Crosby....

I mean, it makes about as much sense as Ek's rumor, doesn't it?

It really isn’t that hard to make cap space if the gm really wants a player. Pittsburgh is an attractive place for a player like Karlsson. It really isn’t all that crazy.

He should have, the IRS nabbed him the following year for tax evasion.
