X. Benedict Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 Worst deal of the day... James Mirtle @mirtle Capitals gave Orpik a five-year, $27.5 million deal. Wow. That's really high. Quote
26CornerBlitz Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 Now all we have to do is sign Moulson and I can be happy. I think both Moulson and Ott head elsewhere. Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 Based on halak? You've been preaching all offseason how the isles are going to do everything in their power to improve. Although it's still early literally all they've done to help them is sign a middle of the road goaltender. Boyle already gave them the ol f u and no real other signings as of yet. Just remember, league average goaltending last season would have given them 45-50 (can't remember the exact number) goals allowed. It's not outrageous to think Halak performing around his career average puts them outside the top-10 picks. Quote

LGR4GM Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 That's really high. as was MacLellan when he signed that deal Quote
Hoss Posted July 1, 2014 Author Report Posted July 1, 2014 That's really high. Yes, the Capitals GM is really high right now. Quote
dEnnis the Menace Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 Just remember, league average goaltending last season would have given them 45-50 (can't remember the exact number) goals allowed. It's not outrageous to think Halak performing around his career average puts them outside the top-10 picks. With the supporting cast around him? it's a lot of 'ifs' but it's doable. I still see them picking top 10 because, hey, it's Snow. Quote
Hoss Posted July 1, 2014 Author Report Posted July 1, 2014 Still a great group left... Thomas Vanek, LW (MON) Jarome Iginla, RW (BOS) Matt Moulson, LW (MIN) Matt Niskanen, D (PIT) Jonas Hiller, G (ANA) Brian Boyle, C (NYR) Brad Richards, C (NYR) Steve Ott, C (STL) Lee Stempniak, RW (PIT) Radim Vrbata, RW (ARI) Anton Stralman, D (NYR) Martin Brodeur, G (NJ) Mikhail Grabovski, C (WAS) Olli Jokinen, C (WPG) David Legwand, C (DET) Dustin Penner, LW (WAS) Quote
Brawndo Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 Michael Russo @Russostrib 18s RT @BBarts: Vanek down to 2 teams. Quote
ubkev Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 13 mil to go to get to the cap floor. I don't think we're done yet. Quote

Hoss Posted July 1, 2014 Author Report Posted July 1, 2014 Vanek's agent: Brian Bartlett @BBarts · 1m Vanek down to 2 teams. Quote
dEnnis the Menace Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 I'm surprised nobody has called Hiller yet. Quote
korab rules Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 but he got $6M for the next 3...doubt he's worried about the following 3. Probably retire yeah, you're right - he'll never miss that extra 25 million. Quote
dEnnis the Menace Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 His Habs teams weren't exactly defensive dynamos in front of him. that's true. I'll give you that. Quote

nobody Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 Renaud Lavoie @renlavoietva Mathieu Perreault 3 ans / 9M$ #jets #tvasports Solid pickup at that price for the Jets. Quote

Iron Crotch Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 Rumor: Vanek down to Minnesota and... Nashville (?). :blink: Quote
Brawndo Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 Elliotte Friedman @FriedgeHNIC now That is Taylor Fedun, of course, to SJ. Quote
Hoss Posted July 1, 2014 Author Report Posted July 1, 2014 This day has a lot of Sabres flavor to it... Vanek, Miller, Ehrhoff, Gionta, McCormick, Gorges... Moulson eventually. Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie COL, MIN, TB, VAN still in on Jarome Iginla. Quote
SabresBillsFan Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 Just remember, league average goaltending last season would have given them 45-50 (can't remember the exact number) goals allowed. It's not outrageous to think Halak performing around his career average puts them outside the top-10 picks. I agree plus the injure to Tavares plus they have young players coming. Quote
Derrico Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 Just remember, league average goaltending last season would have given them 45-50 (can't remember the exact number) goals allowed. It's not outrageous to think Halak performing around his career average puts them outside the top-10 picks. True but no vanek or moulson as of now. Also, even with jt back they were bad last year with him. Could they end up in the teens? Sure because there is a lot of parity in this league and three point games make a huge difference but nothing they've done yet screams a drastic increase in standings. As of now I'm going to say 6th to 12th with just as good a shot at 6 than 12 IMO. Quote
