I'd think you'd get back more for panarin than anisimov but maybe not. Both would free up cap space and Panarin is gone in two years any ways as the cap situation is years away from stabilizing without serious movement of the long term high dollar contracts. That Seabs contract is just brutal. It goes on forever.

Time to plant some coke on Seabs and terminate his contract.

The future holds the possibility to be great or terrible, and since it has not yet occurred it remains simultaneously both.

I have a feeling that the cap issue is going to be huge from the owners' side come the next CBA. I mean, over 1/3 of the teams are in cap hell, which I guess is currently the cost of doing business for teams that actually want to compete. Bettman's lust for league parity is going to cost the league in the long run, although his defense may be the higher Cup Final ratings over last year.

Reports per LeBrun are cap will be $75MM. I think that means no core guys have to go after Kruger is traded

I think Krugers contract cover Panarins bonus money.

It covers that plus $500k more.

The Blackhawks landed another major name on Tuesday, having agreed to terms with undrafted free agent defenseman Darren Raddysh on a one-year AHL contract. He will report to the Rockford IceHogs, where he will get a chance to prove himself in hopes of signing an NHL deal with the big club.

Raddysh, 21, was named the OHL's top defenseman after scoring 16 goals and 65 assists for 81 points in 62 regular-season games for the Erie Otters, where he was teammates with top Blackhawks prospect Alex DeBrincat.

Raddysh, who's 6-foot, 200 pounds and possesses a right-handed shot, also registered eight goals and 14 assists in 22 playoff games, and led all defenseman with three goals, five assists and eight points during the Memorial Cup.

He compiled 41 goals and 143 assists for 184 points across 272 games during his five-year OHL career, and is the Otters' all-time leader in assists and points.

I have MANY years of experience in trying to appreciate steaming piles of dogshit.

Trevor van Riemsdyk indeed goes to Las Vegas. Other notable expansion claims are Marchessault from Florida, Fleury from Pittsburgh, REAL DEAL JAMES NEAL from Nashville, and Marc Methot from Ottawa. For the most part, though, holy shit, what a bunch of awful players. Teemu Pulkkinen? Chris Thorburn? Deryk Engelland? This team will blow.

I read that Vegas was gonna flip TVR to Carolina.

If they let the kings skirt Richards contract with the bullshit drug arrest there is no way they can create a way to block the Hawks on this.

I dunno. It is really suspicious. Cap hit over $5M, salary under $1M, and rules designed to penalize teams over those types of contracts. But I am inclined to agree that if the Hawks can show Hossa has a legit "injury", then they'll probably be ok.

This is pretty clear IMO. I am sure you can get an Objective report from a doctor on this. Also, you can see players in the past retiring from something like this.

Hammer traded to Arizona for Dmen Laurent Dauphin and Connor Murphy

Anyone know about these 2 guys?

Our hotel smelled like dead hooker vagina (before you ask I had gotten a detailed description from beardown)
