2016 Offseason Moves around the NHL

[gotbeer]

Ducks #30 pick the bestest greatest  Sam Steel?  Ok, I will trust the braintrust.

[Pujols4MVP]

5'11 Sam Steel. Interesting but I had seen his name in the 2nd round of mock drafts.

[gotbeer]

Here is hockey writers writup on him.

Plays in Regina and... 

• Occasionally tries too hard to make plays, which can lead to risky decisions and bad turnovers.

Oh my god it is Getzlaf!

If the Angels owned the Ducks, they woulda taken 2 players in the 1st that were projected to go in the 3rd round.

If the Angels owned the Ducks there is no way we would've had a 1st round pick.

If the Angels owned the Ducks.  We would not have given qualifying offers to our RFA's.  And would off Stamkos 8 years $15 million just to make a splash.

and they'd be currently paying Brad Richards & Illya Bryzgalovk alot of money to not be playing for them.

Angels would have fired scouting director Madden & Madden becomes GM of Vegas & in a few years time he turns that franchise around with quality drafts.

They also wouldn't do firesales when the time comes, they'd turn into the NJ Devils & keep thinking their just 1 player away (NJ should have tanked for Matthews since they don't have a farm system & outlook is quite grim like the Angels).

Predators Sign Forsberg to a Six-Year, $36 Million Contract

Is he really worth that much and that long of a deal?  He was an RFA, and they gave him that?  Personally I think it's an overpay, and bad news for the Ducks signing Lindholm.

i think it's way worth it, he's awesome. although he was invisible in the playoffs.

the crazy part - how the f*ck did they sign josi for 7 years, $4m??

Seth Jones, Blue Jackets Agree on New Contract: Latest Details and Reaction

Quote

After acquiring him in a trade with the Nashville Predators last season, the Columbus Blue Jackets locked up defenseman Seth Jones on Wednesday with a six-year contract extension worth $5.4 million per season.

 

[nate]

Taylor Hall to NJ for Adam Larsson.

[nate]

Rumors that Subban will be traded today too.

[nate]

Holy shit, Shea Weber for PK Subban

[nate]

Also rumors that Stamkos is staying in Tampa

[HaloCory22]

Taylor Hall and Palms on that top line in NJ is going to be epic.

 

Habs are fucking idiots. That is by far the worst trade I can imagine. 

[gotbeer]

Canadiens trade P.K. Subban to Predators for Shea Weber

 

Wow.  He was the face of the Canadiens. 

 

Also Hall has been traded to NJ I think.  trying to find a link.

[nate]

Stamkos staying with TB, 8/$8.5

@gotbeer yep see above.

[HaloCory22]

TBL are paying Stamkos less than the Kings are paying Kopitar. LOL

[nate]

 

[gotbeer]

A "Wow!", A "Huh?" & a "Hmmm" : Weber for Subban, Hall for Larsson, Stamkos

Quote

The Predators have traded Shea Weber to the Montreal Canadiens for P.K. Subban. Wow!

The Oilers have traded Taylor Hall to the Devils for Adam Larsson. Huh? Very puzzling trade from the Edmonton side. Larsson was once seen as a future franchise defenseman along the Victor Hedman lines but has not come anywhere close to that so far in his career. I am hearing, though, that this trade could make more sense soon because the Oilers aren't done yet.

Hmmmm: Steven Stamkos has decided not to test unrestricted free agency and will re-sign with Tampa Bay.

Stamkos deal is 8.5 for 8 years...he obviously wanted to stay in Tampa.

I read somewhere that when you factor in no income tax in Florida, it makes a big difference (But I thought it was like 10%).  So it does seem like he is taking a bit of a discount to stay.

Interesting

 

[HaloCory22]

A 27 year old with much better skills/speed/athleticism for a 30 year old with a monster shot and 2 good years left in him. Yeah..
