Quoted from hwyhed:Happy free agency boys..should be an interesting day to see who goes where, and who overpays for whatever player. Jim Benning has some difficult decisions 2day..
Thinking it will be slower than years past with a lot of teams strapped for cap space.
quite a bit of goalie movement so far.
Ottawa picked up Matt Murray for 4 years, 25 million.
Dallas resigns Khudobin for 3 years, 10 million.
Vancouver signs Holtby, 2 years, 8.6 million.
Minnesota signs Talbot for 3 years, 11 million.
Washington signs Lundqvist for 1 year, 1.5 million.
Chicago resigns Malcolm Subban for 2 years, 1.7 million.

I guess Markstrom is done in VAN? Or are they leaving the rookie in the minors for seasoning and resigning Markstrom as well?
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:Kiss the signing bonus away ...Stammer on the block
Is that confirmed? I know he was deemed to be not untouchable by Brisebois... but I think he's hard to move with his recent injury woes.
Quoted from Canuck_pinhead:I guess Markstrom is done in VAN? Or are they leaving the rookie in the minors for seasoning and resigning Markstrom as well?
I'm guessing they will run with Holtby and Demko now for the next two years, and then Demko will be the starter after that. I don't think they have the cap space to run holtby and Markstrom. Markstrom will get a healthy contract elsewhere, if I had to guess, I'd say Edmonton or Calgary.
Quoted from Canuck_pinhead:Is that confirmed? I know he was deemed to be not untouchable by Brisebois... but I think he's hard to move with his recent injury woes.
I agree. Between his injury history and contract, I don't know how easy he will be to trade. If he does get traded, I can't see us getting too many assets for him. I could see Vegas or Montreal trading for him though, trying to make a splash for a #1 center.
Quoted from finnflash:I thought Markstrom went to Calgary
I just checked, and while its not official yet, it is heavily rumored to be a done deal now. I hadn't seen that before, but looks to be the case

According to the pundits, he is on the block

Marky lands in cow town w a 6 year/36 mil contract. He’s a helluva goalie, I do wish him well..except when the playoffs start again.

Nah... Habs are set at Center for the first time in decades. That's why Domi got traded away.

Only contract so far over 3 years
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:Only contract so far over 3 years
A lot of teams are against the cap. I can see contracts given out in the 2-4 year terms. Good signing by the leafs w Simmonds. My team could use some more grit. Word on the street that they’ve talked w Barrie’s agent...but at what cost? We know he brings some pp/offensive skill, but a bit of a liability playing D..next few days will tell us more
Sens sign Matt Murray to 4 year deal for 6.25 per year 
. I hope to hell, for the sake of the Sens, thats in CAD!!!
Quoted from finnflash:I guess Petro is gone.
Krug is a good consolation prize!
I’m hoping the Pens signs Marc-Andre Fleury to a hometown discount to finish his career as backup/mentor for Jarry...the Pens miss him in the clubhouse.
Quoted from Blitzburgh99:I’m hoping the Pens signs Marc-Andre Fleury to a hometown discount to finish his career as backup/mentor for Jarry...the Pens miss him in the clubhouse.
Not a free agent. Would need to trade for hi.. currently making 7M... but Vegas willing to retain 50%
Quoted from finnflash:Hall signs in Buffalo for 1 year. Strange.
Likely the best deal he could get at 1yr. 8 mil ..Feel good for Buffalo fans after all the crap with owners etc, Eichel is one of my favourite players and look forward to watching them play together.

Any local talk about Leivo? I hate to ask him/friends personally and won’t. Can’t find much online.
Quoted from Blitzburgh99:I’m hoping the Pens signs Marc-Andre Fleury to a hometown discount to finish his career as backup/mentor for Jarry...the Pens miss him in the clubhouse.
If he goes somewhere I don’t think he wants to be a back up like Lundquist who went to Caps
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:Any local talk about Leivo? I hate to ask him/friends personally and won’t. Can’t find much online.
His name has been mentioned a few times, but w limited $ to the cap, it’s anyone’s guess. I’d like to see him sign here for a year ‘show me contract’ as he did impress when he played n was healthy
Thx Hwy
Couldn't agree more ...His long stick along the boards is one of the best in the league imo.
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:Thx Hwy
Couldn't agree more
I swear Hwy if Josh signs and fans are allowed I'll make a trip to the Couv. We can hook up and meet up with Josh.ill PM my number to you
..give me a shout.

Great conversation and always have room for new friends like you
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:Jumbo Joe signing in Toronto is immanent.
Bogosian, Simmonds and Thornton... they trying to bring their average age waaaay up?
Quoted from Canuck_pinhead:Bogosian, Simmonds and Thornton... they trying to bring their average age waaaay up?
Speaking of age .... I asked the question what was Rutherford thinking when he picked up Patrick Marleau but man that question needs to be asked again as why would the Sharks take him back?
Quoted from luch:so he can play one game and retire a shark
Has to be the reason. Then maybe off to the front office!

45 games away from tying Gordie Howe for most games played in the NHL??
Quoted from Canuck_pinhead:45 games away from tying Gordie Howe for most games played in the NHL??
Yeah but from a team perspective do you take up a seat on the bench so a guy can break a record? Plus it's looking more like a 60 game schedule is going to happen since the NHL has now said it's likely the season wont start until February. Bettman is still hopeful they can do an 82 game season but with COVID looking like it's here to stay till, at least, April not sure that's possible.
You have 60 game schedule it makes it takes away 22 games for teams to make the playoffs so to have a guy sitting on the bench to break a record is asinine. BUT hey it makes for great tv drama right?

Sharks are in rebuild anyways though.
Quoted from hwyhed:You boys hearing bout a potential Canadian division for next year? Since the border is closed, it kinda makes sense...thoughts?
As someone South of the border ..... I would love it! It may just be me but I find the Canadian teams play a more wide open hockey and it leads to faster game play. If this happens I would find myself watching all the games in Canada over the teams in the States.....except Pittsburgh (who has been boring to watch lately).
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:It’s official Jumbo signs 1 year with the Leafs
I think you'll understand if us Penguins fans dont thank the Leafs for Ceci!!

You guys traded Johnson for Ceci + Johnson buy out cap space...
That's like getting punched in the face AND kicked in the groin simultaneously.

So true .... I blame the Penguins medical staff as they should've recognized Rutherford's senile state

lol
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:60 game schedule ? Canadian division? Let do it! Want me more Couv n leafs
And more shots of Mathews mom..she’s kinda hot..
