Is there a site that lists the UFA, who they're from, their position and where they have signed?

It almost feels toxic if we dont now... But I really really like him as a player

Sabres were the ones to seek clarification on when they have to pay bonus

The offer has to blow me away. It can't just be fair market value Also for everyone saying we have the impact pieces drafted and so can settle for just drafting supporting pieces... this is why you benefit if you dont draft like crap. You can trade a 20th pick for one of the best centres in the game.

We need to get a centre in return. I am shocked how comfortable everyone is rolling with 1 centre next year

Sounds like ROR is gone :/ (Thanks Jack)

Jack will probably just drive him out #LockerRoomCancer

Yeah - i am not too sure either. But the point stands, if you have a job where you need to perform physically, then staying up partying till 11 hours before you have to be at the rink to get ready for the game is irresponsible and unprofessional. Would Crosby do it? Would Toews do it? Would McDavid do it? Honestly, I think it is very telling that Eichel isn't the team's captain. I think they desperately want him to be, but I think what lets him down is his 'tactical' professionalism. i.e. I dont question he isn't working hard this summer in a 'strategic' sense to get ready, but I question his ability to say "No, i'll go to bed at 11pm, so I can perform my best tomorrow." I hope Dahlin's competitive nature means he will make those choices, and maybe be a good example. Bring Orpik in and a couple others who will similarly do it. Furthermore, do they have to sacrifice the right to have a normal life - getting weekends off, having fast food, drinking lots every week etc etc.? Yes they do. But they are well compensated for these sacrifices.

And if the players think game prep starts at 5pm on the day of the game I think we know why we are an awful team

lol nice. That said I didn't realise Dubas was so young! Dubas and Chayka are both analytics kids and are the two youngest GMs interestingly. Arizona I kind of understand, but it is interesting how a traditional old school hockey market has given the control to the analytics kid.

Honestly, these guys are adults and paid a fortune. They shouldn't need a curfew to be professionals. Why do most people not stay up till 6am when they have work the next day? The reasoning is no different.

I assume by now word has gone out that he will be looking for x amount as a minimum to even consider offers. If Jason doesn't think he is worth x, then why bother talking to him?

I would be quite tempted to sign Orpik to a 1 (although i think it would take 2) year deal for a couple of million. Have him mentor some of the young defence

This might be the most boring draft of all time. There were only like two trades in total

So who are the best guys left available?

Exciting trade

I wonder if the off the board picks are causing the lack of trades

Crickets...

We're on pick 15 and no trades. Is this one of the quietest drafts?

Regardless of your thoughts on Lehner, he would be better.

Ward has been crap for the last 3 years. Why would we want him?

Well trading would get you the guy now, rather than in 2-3 years

So no big trades gonna happen today? After all the talk

huh... odd pick
