Yuck, our LW are Kane, Moulson, Deslaurier... If Alexander Nylander isn't ready then I wonder what the plan is there.

Rangers/Caps are annual playoff teams, they believe he was worth it, he would have made our team better for sure but he wanted to be with the Rangers all along.

Vrbata to Panthers 1 yr

Cal Peterson to the Kings 2 years 925K AAV

Shattenkirk to rangers 6.5M AAV not bad deal at all

He was 4th in points for a D, 5th in Goals for a D, he's an offensive D and needs to get better defensively, Housley may be able to get more out of him. I'd love to have him on our roster. And to be fair when you have the star power that the Pens do it's only a matter of time that they beat you.

Weird not to see such a big name like Shattenkirk not signed to a team by now, he must be asking for an unreal chunk of change.

0 G 6 A, -13 meh

All ex sabres signing with other teams now, Brian Flynn signs with stars.

One of those not all 3

I'm hoping the Sabres are looking at Jagr, Radulov or Kovalchuck.

If the Flyers ever stick with a G they could be scary, I wonder if they're kicking themselves for trading Bobvrosky. We just signed a cheaper version of Foligno in Pouliot.

Looks like hanzal going to the stars, Flyers sign G Brian Elliott

D Hunwick to Pens

Sharp to balckhawks

Kulikov to the Jets Alzner to the canadians Justin Williams to the Hurricanes? Really?

RHD Rasmus Ristolainen LHD Jake McCabe RHD Viktor Antipin LHD Marco Scandella RHD Zach Bogosian LHD Nathan Beaulieu The great thing about Antipin which I read up on is that he is interchangeable as a righty or lefty and is just as effective on the right side. I still wouldn't rule out a trade of Kane for another top defensemen and maybe buying out Bogo if that happens, just my opinions.

I think it's a win-win for both teams really, the Wild needed much needed cap relief, now they don't have to lose D Matt Dumba and they can resign Granlund since they got 5M in cap relief with this trade. For us we get a top 2 line defensemen, he obviously isn't a goal scorer, he doesn't hit either but he's a guy who will get the puck out of our own zone fast, plays the boards well and is a 20 min a night player, we also got someone to take Ennis off our hands which is friggin awesome, he's been a disappointment for quite awhile, I'm not a fan of Pomminstein, I wasn't a fan of him back in the day and now he's basically a shell of that person but he'll be a good mentor for our kids which is essential.

No, we've never had a great GM imo.

I don't expect any big splashes, I think we'll bring up and develop our own from here on out. We have the nucleus (Eichel, Reinhart, O'Reilly, Okposo, Ristolainen, McCabe) , most teams would be quite happy with that and I hope we now have the coach who can bring out the most in them and a GM who will keep stocking the shelves with talent.

I gave it an A, I hated the position Casey Mittelstadt plays since were so deep there but I think he'll eventually be a top 6 as a winger, I also think Luukkonen is going to be our goalie of the future. I don't have a doubt in my mind GM Botterill is going to make a trade around the Free Agency mark trading Kane for an established scorer like him for a puck moving defensmen, I'm thinking Vatanen.

I like Vatanen over Hamonic, I hope we can swing a deal , Kane for Vatanen. Since we drafted like 3 or 4 wingers already today :w00t:

Please stop.

Excellent pick, our future Pekka Rinne and not just because his name is Pekka :)

How do we know who the BPA is if none of these kids have played at an NHL level? It's such a stupid comment, if the draft is a crap shoot you take a position/positions you're most vulnerable at and you try to improve it. Last I looked our C's were pretty solid, people are saying he'll transition into a winger, I don't even play the game of hockey on a semi pro level so who know, maybe he can't make that leap, we also just drafted that Rasmus Asplund guy last season who was also a C, I really hope this transition to a wing is easy because if not we have many wasted picks about to be coming up oh and our defense still looks like a giant heap of sheet.
