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.

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.

I agree. That's the way they experimented with hybrid icing that we'll now see in this NHL preseason.

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.

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.

 

@TSN_Sports

Free agent Cleary staying with Red Wings for training camp: Go to TSN.ca for details. #TSN http://bit.ly/1emkUTH

 

Update:

 

@Nichols_NHLPool

He looks ummm good in green? I have to say that I really like what I heard out of Rolston the other day and I wish Lindy the best.

#Leafs' Joffrey Lupul (back spasms, Brooks Laich (lower body) missing time; Marc-Andre Fleury has given up four quickies in #Pens' camp.

 

There is a joke in here somewhere I know it!!!

Sounds like he may have used the Flyers as a way of getting the Wings to up their offer, or the wings may have used the situation to gauge what he would take to come back

 

Maybe he just had Flyers remorse. :lol:

Saw an article this morning that was a link from the Vanek story that says Bylsma believes Fleury and Vokoun is the best goalie tandem in the league. 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.

He only had a PTO with Philly.

How old are you?
