NHL thread

[RNH]

This thread is for like the what... 2 Canadians out there. But I still think we deserve an nhl thread. So i'll start off by saying that I'm an Oilers fan *Anxiously anticipates being thrown old fruit at*

You can also post trade prospals here

 

[Shiny Mewtwo aka Jigglysir]

I'm a Leafs fan AND a Sens fan. Come at me bro

And, as a Leafs fan, I'm sad because Brodeur just resigned with the Devils. http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=636924

 

[RNH]

Did you enjoy picking ****ing Morgan Reilly over Grigrenko?

 

[Shiny Mewtwo aka Jigglysir]

No, but this bodes well for Ottawa.

2008
Leafs @ 5th overall: Luke Schenn (D) - Bust
Sens @ 15th overall: Eric Karlsson (D) - Norris

2012
Leafs @ 5th overall: Morgan Reily (D)
Sens @ 15th overall: Cody Ceci (D)

If history repeats itself Ottawa just got another Norris Winner (and Toronto got another Bust)

also, is your tag by any chance Ryan Nugent-Hopkins?

 

[SharkAttack]

I don't follow the NHL anywhere near the extent of a diehard fan, but I do love the sport. I'm a Mighty Ducks fan (Yeah, I know, the movies had an influence) since 1996. Teemu Selanne and JS Giguere are my two favorite Ducks of all time. I really wish Anahiem had not traded away/released Giguere in 2008.

Looking forward to next season. This last one was amazing, especially all the playoff games that went to OT. There is nothing like OT in the NHL playoffs. There is always some high intensity to it and no commecial breaks!

 

[RNH]

also, is your tag by any chance Ryan Nugent-Hopkins?

Yep, met him once and can't get over how great he now.


Good thing Oilers didn't pick Ryan Murray if they had I would've switched to the sens or jets or something.

To update evrybody with the recent news.

Dallas trades Ott and Pardy to the Sabres for Derek Roy

No news from Praise or suter


Anybody want to talk about REALLY bad picks this year, I think the worst one was Pittsburgh trading Jordan Staal and picking Derick Poulilot over Tervauain, Foresberg, and Grigerenko

I also Canucks fans to MURDER Justin Shultz tough luck *****s!!!

 

[Shiny Mewtwo aka Jigglysir]

Jagr to Dallas, 1 year, 4.5 million

Jokinen to Winnipeg, 2 years, 4.5 million per

Hudler to Calgary, 4 years, 4 million per

Pyatt to New York Ranger, 2 years, 1.55 million per

Sheldon Souray signs with Ducks, 3 years 3.66 M cap hit

 

[Chronodiver Lokii]

This. This is an enjoyable thread.

I'm a Rangers and Blackhawks fan. I live in Pittsburgh for school.....but as a Clevelander I am obligated to root against the Penguins.

 

[Shiny Mewtwo aka Jigglysir]

but as a Clevelander I am obligated to root against the Penguins.

lol that's no reason. I live in Toronto, but I root for both the Leafs and the Sens. The only time I root against one is when they are playing each other, and on those occurrences I root for the team that would be best for both teams to win. (E.G. When they played in Ottawa on March 17th I was rooting for Ottawa because they were trying to make the playoffs while the Leafs were chasing a top 5 draft pick.)

Edit: Sullivan to Phoenix- 1 year, $1.85 miilion

2nd Edit: Suter and Parise BOTH go to Minnesota, apparently on 13 year, $98 million total each.

 

[kyaputenfarukon07]

Wow there is an NHL thread now

Suter and Parise both go to minnesota?
Damn

BTW I am Habs, Redwings, Devils,Caps and a hockey fan

 

[Shiny Mewtwo aka Jigglysir]

Matt Carle to Lightning: 6 Years, 5.5 per

overpayment imo

 

[RNH]

 

[Shiny Mewtwo aka Jigglysir]

Fedotenko and Gervais to Philly
1 year, 1.75 million for Fedotenko
2 years, 0.825 million per for Gervais

Perron resigns with St Louis: 4 years, 3.8125 million per

Oilers resign Dubnyk and Petry: 2 years each, 3.5 million per for Dubnyk, 1.75 Million Per for Petry

 

[RNH]

YOu can also now post trade propsals

I'll start it off

Oilers Get: David Rundblad

Coyotes get: MPS, 3rd Rounder

Thoughs?

 

[ViperGold42]

[RNH]

Sign Weber and Semin

 

[ViperGold42]

Sign Weber and Semin

didn't they already sign with someone else?

 

[RNH]

didn't they already sign with someone else?

Nope, Weber's a RFA, Semin is still a UFA, you must be thinking of Parise and Semin

Sure it is :3 Bahaha (okay not really)
The Cleveland/Pittsburgh football rivalry extends to all other sports. It's dumb, but I have family from the 'burgh/dad has coworkers who are Pens fans, so it makes for some friendly competition. Especially during this year's playoffs. Dad got bragging rights for his Rangers at work while I got to harass my cousin after the Flyers beat the Pens. And I don't even like the Flyers.

And to be honest, I dislike a lot of teams just because I get really devoted to the teams I watch. Happens in every sport I like, it's just especially fierce for baseball and hockey xD

 

[Shiny Mewtwo aka Jigglysir]

Wow, It looks like nothing really important happened while I was out camping free-agent wise

in other news, it looks like Lidstrom is staying with the Red Wings as a scout.

 

[Shiny Mewtwo aka Jigglysir]

Sorry for double post, but this should have it's own post

Rumors about Semin signing with the Penguins

 

[ViperGold42]

Nope, Weber's a RFA, Semin is still a UFA, you must be thinking of Parise and Semin

so I'm thinking of Semin while thinking of Semin.......what 2 of them!?!

 

[RNH]

so I'm thinking of Semin while thinking of Semin.......what 2 of them!?!

Oh sorry I mean suter

 

[Shiny Mewtwo aka Jigglysir]

Lightning sign Teddy Purcell to a 3 year contract extension, financial terms not released

Rangers sign Jeff Halpern, 1 year $700,000

Columbus trades BJ Crombeen and a 2014 5th round pick to Tampa Bay for two 4th round picks, one in 2013 one in 2014

Ottawa Signs Chris Neil to a 3 year contract extension for 1.9 Million dollars per. That's less money than the 2 Million dollars per year he was making on his previous 3 year contract, so I'm happy!

 

[RNH]

Anyone want to make their top 10 prospects list? You can also give them a prospect grade 10 being the best and 1 being the worse (Please be realistic, no, Schenn is not a 10.0
And also add a letter grade for how likely they'll succeed, to lazy to make your own? rip them from hockey's future
Heres mine

1. Nail Yakupov 9.0C
This is quite obvious, best goal scoring prospect right now.

[ViperGold42]

Oh sorry I mean suter

Wings will come back, They are the most dominant team these past 2 decades.

 

[Shiny Mewtwo aka Jigglysir]

All domination has to end at some point.

Sharks re-sign Vlasic. 5 Years, 21 million dollars

Nah, wings will probably make some other HOFamer with their 7th round pick

 

[Shiny Mewtwo aka Jigglysir]

lol maybe.

EDIT: Selanne returns to ducks for one more season, 1 year 4.5 million

Peter Mueller signs with Florida, 1 year 1.725 million

 

[RNH]

Ducks sign Lindholm, Caps sign Foresberg, Sabres sign Girgensons

 

[Shiny Mewtwo aka Jigglysir]

Ducks sign Lindholm, Caps sign Foresberg, Sabres sign Girgensons

tldr: teams sign draft picks



In more relevant news, Capitals have signed Mike Green to a 3 year contract extension worth $18.25 million. He'll get $6 million in 2012-13 and 2013-14 and $6.25 million in 2014-15.

Habs resign Blake Geoffrion 1 year, about 800k 4th generation Hab lol

The Kings resigned Dwight King, now every player who played for LA in the playoffs is signed for next season.

 

[Shiny Mewtwo aka Jigglysir]

The Leafs have reportedly made an offer for Jonathan Bernier

I hope this is true and that LA accepts the offer, as long as it's not too much. Bernier has much more potential than Reimer or Scrivens imo.

Another alternative I wouldn't mind would be if we sign Hasek (assuming he's as good as he was)

Now that I think about it, Hasek would be a better choice because of the veteran presence/mentor role he would offer, even if he's not as good as he was.

 

[RNH]

Shea Weber signs an offer sheet with PHI, 14 years at 100M+

 

[Shiny Mewtwo aka Jigglysir]

Nashville has a week to match the offer, if they don't they get 4 first round drat picks

If I were Poile, I'd match the offer lol

Shea Weber>4 bottom 10 first rounders.

 

[Orboknown]

goddamn parise went elsewhere?
mfw
Devils amazing btw. if only LA wasn't the opponent..

 

[Shiny Mewtwo aka Jigglysir]

The Weber offersheet

Year 9: $6M salary
Year 10: $6M salary
Year 11: $3M salary
Year 12: $1M salary
Year 13: $1M salary

[Shiny Mewtwo aka Jigglysir]

Edmonton Signs Yakupov to an ELC

Florida Signs Versteeg to a 4 year contract, TSN reported that it's worth 4.4 million dollars per season, but nothing's been confirmed

NASH TO RANGERS

According to Darren Dreger the Rangers have traded Brandon Dubinsky, Tim Erixon, Artem Anisimov and a first-round pick for Nash.

Nash to New York, Weber possible to Philidelphia. The Atlantic has cemented itself as the top Division in the league

Rangers for cup next year, and I wish Edmonton had waited longer cause HFOil was about to freak and its so funny seeing that

Also you didnt mention that NYR had also recieved Deslie and a 3rd round pick

 

[Shiny Mewtwo aka Jigglysir]

The third round pick is conditional, Rangers only get it if they make the Finals lmao

EDIT: Wait, I read that wrong, the get it UNLESS they make the finals

EDIT2: Preds match http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=401354
