inkman Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 Methinks Iginla might be a prime candidate. Or Vanek. I was thinking Moulson Quote
Hoss Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 I was thinking Moulson I left him out, because it'll have to be a right wing. If they're going for a wing it's going to be somebody who has played on the right side since they already have Palat locked into Stamkos' left side. I know Vanek prefers the left, but I think he can deal with being on the right side of the best center he's ever worn the same jersey as. David Pagnotta @TheFourthPeriod Coyotes certainly aren't done. Could hear some more coming from their camp in the very near future (not tonight). Action starting to pick up tonight. Teams probably trying to make sure they're set up well for free agency. Quote
Hoss Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 (edited) @FriedgeHNIC: Now TB has traded Nate Thompson to ANA for two picks. (4th and 7th in 2015) Clearly TB already has a deal done with somebody. Edited June 30, 2014 by Tankalicious Quote

WildCard Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 (edited) Anaheim is going to be more than dangerous next year. If they figure out their goalie situation they that is. Any news on Stastny yet? Seems to be the major domino in UFA that everyone's waiting to topple Edited June 30, 2014 by WildCard Quote
Hoss Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 Any news on Stastny yet? Seems to be the major domino in UFA that everyone's waiting to topple Nothing close. I made a list of interested teams over at the Free Ageny Frenzy thread. Can't think off the top of my head who is one it but I think it's something like Colorado, Minnesota, NYR and a few more. Quote

They seem to finally realize Weber and Rinne can't carry a team that doesn't score; adding Neal and trying with Spezza, now that the latter has fallen through I can seem them making a strong push for Stastny.

I agree that Nashville should definitely go hard after him, but it's worth noting that the Spezza trade was proposed before the Neal trade happened. Will Nashville just try to act like Neal is a good enough jolt to their offense and be cheap, or go for it and finally get a good group of forwards? Quote

Can't see Neal doing anything special without Crosby centering him. Plus, I think we all know how building from the outside-in works Quote

Plus, I think we all know how building from the outside-in works Well most of what he did in Pittsburgh was without Crosby, since Malkin was his center. ;) But the point still stands. No Malkin, no big success... Just a dirty player with maybe 30 goals a year. Quote
dudacek Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 I'm not a huge fan of Sam Gagner, and I am not bashing Murray for not grabbing him. I am genuinely curious why we wouldn't have picked him up. The price was nothing we couldn't have beat, he helps with the cap, he's better than most of our forwards. This is exactly the type of move I would have expected from us. Tim has to have something else up his sleeve. Quote
Huckleberry Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 Gagner for a 6th rounder and Tampa retaining salary, huge score for the coyotes, why tampa would do this except clear some capspace. Still makes it a bad trade, especially if you retain salary. Quote
26CornerBlitz Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 (edited) @TSNBobMcKenzie TOR still hoping MTL D Josh Gorges will waive modified NTC to allow trade to TOR. If so, it's believed MTL would get roster player from TOR. @TSNBobMcKenzie STL and DAL are the two teams who currently have interest in OTT's Jason Spezza. Doesn't sound like a deal is close. @DarrenDreger James Reimer's trade request should come as no surprise. He believes he's a #1 and wants a fresh start to prove that.

Honestly, I just think Murray viewed Gagner as redundant since we already have Ennis and Hodgson. Quote
inkman Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 Honestly, I just think Murray viewed Gagner as redundant since we already have Ennis and Hodgson. I don't think he makes the Sabres anything other than a game or two better in the standings either. Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 I don't think he makes the Sabres anything other than a game or two better in the standings either. Agreed. And even that may be over-estimating his impact :lol: Quote
Iron Crotch Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 I'd bet Nashville is pretty hard in the running too. They seem to finally realize Weber and Rinne can't carry a team that doesn't score; adding Neal and trying with Spezza, now that the latter has fallen through I can seem them making a strong push for Stastny. Nashville is in the running. David Poille (USA hockey GM) has already met with Stastny, and Laviolette is Stastny's USA hockey coach. Stastny will go to free agency, he won't resign with the Avs prior to fielding offers from other clubs. I don't think he wants to go to Minnesota, so cross them off the list of possible options.

Hoss Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 Today is the last day for compliance buyouts, no? Wonder if we see any last second ones. Quote
Hoss Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 @RealKyper: Sounding like #Flames will use compliance buyout on Shane O'Brien. He owed 2.2M for 2014-15 #NHL season. @FriedgeHNIC: Gleason and Volchenkov on buyout waivers Quote
spndnchz Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 Today is the last day for compliance buyouts, no? Wonder if we see any last second ones. Gleason and Volchenkov. Quote
Iron Crotch Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 (edited) Gleason and Volchenkov. Both are better than McBain. Justin Faulk wasn't qualified in Carolina. Michael Del Zotto won't be qualified by the Preds. Edited June 30, 2014 by Potato Quote
