Don't worry, the Pens are locking up LeTang with an 8 year contract.
Horton isn't quite gone yet, he's there for the taking.
Bring lots o' money...
Cheers!
I may have missed the whole "doesn't want to be in Boston" thing. What did you read? Just because someone decides to test free agency (which pretty nearly anyone who has actual talent does these days) isn't in itself a declaration of unhappiness...
Cheers!
Horton, jagr and ference gone. Good chance they are trading off seguin. Hopefully vinny decides to come to Boston, we need someone who can fill hortys shoes.
I say let the man go, he's paid his dues. He wants a fresh start for whatever reason, he doesn't want to be in Boston, buying him won't change that.
Boston sports have a tendency to try to keep players longer than the players want to stay. Manny for example, he stopped wanting to be there ages before we stopped wanting him, and it showed.
They should just give Seguin to Toronto. Maybe for a 7th round draft pick.
swap for Kessel

Horton is far more instrumental than even his stats make him seem. He really does seriously improve anyone who plays with him. I can almost guarantee that the production of Krejci and Lucic will be significantly hurt by his departure. With regards to value, I really think Horton is the one player who Boston would be stupid to let go without trying really hard to keep him.
Hawks just signed Bicks, but traded Bolland and Frolik. More bummed about Frolik leaving than Bolland.
Yeah, that sucks. I liked how Bolland played. Thought he was safe and Stalberg and either Kruger or Bollig (or maybe Hayes) would be on the chopping block.
The leafs are looking better and better next year.
If they were smart they would ditch Seguin off to Detroit for gustav nyquist (their rookie of the year), same speed, explosive off the line, great shot, but his ego is young, and it would free up some cap room.

The leafs are looking better and better next year. Bolland will fit in there.
I do not see Detroit getting rid of Nyquist anytime soon.

Philly's just fine.
Vinny is replacing Briere at 2 million less, will play 2C, so that couturier isn't forced into that role.
Schenn is moving to wing.
The flyers have 14 forwards, 9 D, and 1 Goalie signed.
One of Coburn, Meszaros, or Grossmann are on their way out. Which all have between 3.5-4.5 cap hits.
We also still will be moving pronged to LTIR which is 5 mil more in cap space.
So yeah, we're just fine.
Hahahaha. We're back to the Philly team we all know and love. Tons of Forward depth, Questionable D and ... oh wait we need a goalie.
I honestly, don't really even know. The only names i've heard tossed around to Philly are Thomas, Emery, or Halak.
I'd prefer Thomas or Emery, i guess. Since we wouldn't have to give up any assets.
But if if we could swing Coburn + for Halak, i wouldn't complain. But i don't think St. Louis is really in need of D-men.
I've said it before, It's never boring being a Flyers fan. They certainly make me scratch my head in confusion at times, but they're never shy in doing 'something' to improve the team.
Seguin for Kessel right now would be a complete joke of a deal.
One player has progressed and gotten better at the things he was accused of sucking at, including learning to play the much-touted "200 foot" game, and is dangerous each and every shift. The other went and got a tattoo of his own name on his arm.
Is there a date (year) which the clubs have to use their buyouts by or forfeit them ?
Like they have to be used in the next 5 years or something ?
