St. Louis Blues Acquire Justin Faulk

Quote

The Blues will send Joel Edmundson, Dominik Bokk and a 2021 seventh-round pick to the Hurricanes in exchange for Faulk and a 2020 fifth-round selection. Faulk has also immediately agreed to a seven-year extension worth a total of $45.5MM ($6.5MM AAV)

BTW.  IMO, that's not much of a return for the Canes.

Tkachuk signs three-year, $21 million contract with Flames

Sure sounds like the two Canadian teams of Leafs and Sens overpaid for their players.  We'll see if the Jets make it three Canadian teams.

[arch stanton]

The Leafs really screwed shit with Mikko and Laine. RFA wingers looking for 10 mil plus

[gotbeer]

And Laine came back to Earth.

Jets sign RFA winger Patrik Laine to two-year deal

Quote

The restricted free agent sniper and the Jets agreed to a two-year, US$13.5-million contract on Friday. 

The average annual value of the deal stands at $6.75 million.

Only good thing is that both teams have plenty of cap space.  It'll be interesting.  I hear Colorado wants term on Mikko.

They want at least six years but I don’t think they want to give Marner money. I think they’ll settle just south of 10 million and hopefully soon 

[arch stanton]

And just like that Mikko signs a six year deal at 9.25 million per. This is gonna be a really good team once they sort out the middle 6 and the D pairings

[arch stanton]

Good for Connor. He deserves more than Laine anyway

Did I mention Lol at Toronto and Ottawa?

always

[arch stanton]

I only follow 3 teams these days. The Angels lost 90 and the Broncos are 0-4.

Go Avs

[gotbeer]

Josh Ho-Sang, Thomas Hickey, Tanner Fritz on Waivers

Ho Sang is an interesting one.  He's been talked about in their system for a few years.  I'm sure someone will claim him and take a flyer on him.

[arch stanton]

My predictions:

Tampa Bay, Toronto, Boston

Carolina, Washington, Florida 

WC- Pittsburgh, NY Rangers 

Nashville, Colorado, Dallas 

Vegas, Calgary, San Jose

WC- Winnipeg, Arizona 

 

Finals- Nashville over Tampa

Ovechkin threw out the first pitch for game 4 and the Nats dominated. Russians really do own DC

James Neal has 6 goals in 3 games after 7 all last season. Lucic has 0 goals and 26 penalty minutes. It's early but so far it looks like Edmonton won this one

I don't think you needed the season to start to see the winner in that one.

[Tank]

i'm trying to understand how neal only had 7 goals all of last season.

whatever happened, he seems to have fixed it in a hurry this season.

[arch stanton]

Avalanche now 4-0 after the homestand and start a brutal road trip that goes Wash, Pitt, Fla, TB, StL, Vegas then a next day home game against the Ducks

[arch stanton]

Since the start of last season Val Nichushkin has played in 65 games and attempted 76 shots without scoring a single goal. I’m predicting he scores tonight against the team that used a top 10 pick to draft him 

[arch stanton]

Since both Landeskog and Rantenen went on IR the Avs had scored 7 goals in 5 games. Tonight against Nashville they scored 6 in 8 minutes in the 2nd period

Nichushkin snapped his goalless game streak at 92. New streak starts in 3,2,1.......
