Still not finalized, but hearing Evan Rodrigues headed back to Pittsburgh (traded from Pens to the Leafs in Kapanen deal, Toronto didn't QO him)

Cause buffalo is such a desirable place to play right now. Teams like Tampa will get cheap depth pieces.

Then how do you explain Bobby Ryan and Jon Merrill signing with the Red Wings?

Tyler Johnson's camp had extended his list of teams to 7-8 for Tampa but the Bolts couldn't get a trade done. Now he's on waivers. He's got 4 x 5M aav left although his cash salary for next season is $3.75 M. Seattle-bound in a year?

Claim him and then don’t protect him if you don’t want. He has a NTC not a NMC

Not at pick 8

Have you seen the current roster! This is a top 3 pick roster all day! I think the pegula’s have this game backwards. Getting the top pick in the draft is NOT the goal!

They’ll either claim him or when he goes unclaimed they’ll sign him 2ys 2.5 per which gets him the money he loses then next two years.

City of Detroit >>>>>>>>>>>>> City of Buffalo

Not imo, but until NHLers actually live here most see Buffalo in an unfavorable light

I believe that keeps him a RFA?
- Stripes77


I believe it walks Olofsson right to being a UFA as he will be 27 when the 2 year deal ends.

I like everything Fast brings, but at some point, they are going to need to bring in players that produce offense as well, at least I think.

I really dont think so ..... all the contracts signed today have been pretty low.

Like Kyle Turris went for pennies.
