Off season moves

Ducks obviously wanted to stay young and save on payroll.  I am sure there were a lot of good trade opportunities out there for Ryan.

I'm starting to be a fan of this trade. Didn't get a big current star, but we have A LOT of young talent with high ceilings. Here's hoping The Sens tank next season and we get a high pick.

I'm a big Bobby fan like you Cory (obviously with the same name and all) but after looking into it I really like this trade.  The Ducks have sooooo much young talent right now, they are positioned very well for the next 4-5 years assuming they get one of the two goalies signed to an extension at some point.  Looks like we are all rooting against the Senators!  Hopefully they tank this year and that turns into a top 5 pick!

Iginla to Boston...  How the hell??

[halobob]

Just saw that too Nate...can't believe that one!  Boston is going to be stacked yet again!

Kings lose Richardson to the Canucks. Two year deal.

I'm really going to miss Suderi. That guy was one tough hombre and a very solid dman.

[halobob]

Welp, looks like Richardson won't be winning a playoff series for a couple years

"The Piece"!

 

Loved watching him grow into a player in Pit, he was a huge part of the Cup run in '09.  Got himself another ring in LA.  Happy to see him headed back to the 'burgh.

Iginla to Boston...  How the hell??

That's good because I've been mistakenly saying he was playing for Boston ever since he was traded to the Penguins.

Exactly.  What a non factor.  Gave Boston more incentive, and gave the Penguins not much at all.  Not that it mattered much in that heartless "effort" of a series...

Also, I thought we'd be able to get something more for Bobby. Might be a big deal for us pending OTT's draft pick position next year.

Yeah, I was surprised they didn't get a little more as well. But as a Kings fan, I'm glad to see Ryan outta here..dude always seemed to score against us.

Jagr signed a one year deal with New Jersey.

Oilers brought Linus Omark back on a one-year deal. Very very happy about this. He should fit on the 3rd line with Gordon and Hemsky. Knowing the Copper and Blue like I do though, they'll probably bury him in OKC and dress some knuckle-dragger with "grit" instead. Because Oilers.
