Weave Posted September 11, 2013 Report Posted September 11, 2013 Kadri gets his bridge: @TheFourthPeriod Leafs sign Kadri to 2 year contract Dan Rosen @drosennhl28m Now Franson should come in at $2 mil and the Leafs will be set with zero wiggle room. I also think Kadri's deal impacts Stepan and Hodgson. Dan Rosen @drosennhl28m Stepan should get more than $2.9 mil per because he has done more, proven more. Hodgson maybe right around $2.9 or slightly less. Quote
IKnowPhysics Posted September 11, 2013 Report Posted September 11, 2013 (edited) I'd rather see a 2nd OT period with this before going to shootouts: @NBCSports 3-on-3 overtime seems to be gaining support among NHL GMs. Something you'd like to see? http://tw.nbcsports.com/b2c They should try that out in the AHL first to see if it actually increases scoring rates or non-shootout finish rates, and to see how exactly insanely gimmick-y that will look. Not saying it wouldn't be fun, but if it doesn't decrease the chance of going to SO, or it doesn't correlate at all to team ability, it's all for show. Edited September 11, 2013 by IKnowPhysics Quote
tom webster Posted September 11, 2013 Report Posted September 11, 2013 why wait that long? Cap issues, most of which can be cleared up when they put Pronger on long term IR Quote

That's the way they experimented with hybrid icing that we'll now see in this NHL preseason. Quote
spndnchz Posted September 11, 2013 Report Posted September 11, 2013 Canes Joni Pitkanen is going to miss the whole season because of his heal bone fracture. Quote
spndnchz Posted September 11, 2013 Report Posted September 11, 2013 Whoever asked about the trade deadline this year, it's March 5th. Quote
LGR4GM Posted September 11, 2013 Author Report Posted September 11, 2013 Canes Joni Pitkanen is going to miss the whole season because of his heal bone fracture. That is a major blow to an already questionable defense. Whoever asked about the trade deadline this year, it's March 5th. So basically it will be quiet til after the Olympics on the trade front.

26CornerBlitz Posted September 11, 2013 Report Posted September 11, 2013 That is a major blow to an already questionable defense. Trade McBain back to them for a 2nd round pick. :D Quote
LGR4GM Posted September 11, 2013 Author Report Posted September 11, 2013 Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie May be 2 new faces on TOR D. Paul Ranger, assuming he's "all in" for NHL return, is top 4 freebie. Don't overlook T.J. Brennan as Top 7 guy. Our TJ Brennan? That guy? Yea maybe but when he was here, he looked really soft in his own end. Gerbe could have checked him off the puck. Quote
nobody Posted September 11, 2013 Report Posted September 11, 2013 Interesting. Elliotte Friedman @FriedgeHNIC 20m Not exactly sure why, but it appears as if there is some complication between Daniel Cleary and PHI. Told he will not be joining Flyers. Quote

I'm betting that they were trying to circumvent the cap and the NHL stepped in to negate their "arrangement". Quote

I have to say that I really like what I heard out of Rolston the other day and I wish Lindy the best. Chris Nichols @Nichols_NHLPool #Leafs' Joffrey Lupul (back spasms, Brooks Laich (lower body) missing time; Marc-Andre Fleury has given up four quickies in #Pens' camp.

I didn't realise Vokoun was THAT good **Fleury, the most overrated goaltender in Hockey** I don't know, did you read the playoffs thread last season? Vokoun got his balls washed and waxed here by at least one poster who just couldn't believe that anyone believes Miller is a better goalie. Quote
