NHL Transactions, Injuries & Rumours

[The BBKL Insider]

Why are you entertained by these kinda puddle sized micro-decisions i mean shit if my team was LAK i wud jus let that kinda nonsense talk slide thru my ears cuz i trust in my teams GM and ownership to make the righr decision... But i mean goddamn... We have to sit here and go "nice decision-making skills leafs front!" every fucking time they take months to decide finally mayyyyybe its not a good idea to continue talks with a guy who wants 5+ mil x 8 yrs whom, also in which never plays over 30 games per season/3rd line centre? Jesus

LOL

i think they were trying to talk bolland down into a reasonable number and term.

There are other options via-UFA, and if not, at least Holland will give us a full season.

[CAM]

Well, it all but guarantees he will be the backup which mean Johnson will go elsewhere and therefor creates another asset for me. He was pretty good for Boston this year and i wont let him go for late first especially since i got burned by Khudobin.

LOL, looking at another goalie holdout eh?

Has to be the worst aspect of the BBKL - proud that I've stayed a mile away from it, give away backups like the useless pieces they are and have only had to deal with Kareem & others who treated them the same.

No, I'm not that guy. It does suck but i would say it is even worse to manage goalies from two different teams.

Don't forget I gave you svedberg for peanuts , I could have pushed for more but I didn't.. if I've already dealt with someone reasonably I would expect the same courtesy to be returned, a late 1st for a backup is pretty fair imo

Peanuts? Really?

To WPG: Derek Engellend + Jared Knight + Lane MacDermid
To BOS: Wade Redden + Niklas Svedberg + Charles-Oliver Roussel

If anything that is as fair of a deal as they come. Jared Knight for Svedberg at the time was a fair swap. Svedberg has proven absolutely nothing and his numbers were sub par in Providence. Knights stock has dropped due to his injuries but at the time time he was # 3 on Bruins depth behind Subban and Spooner(3 or 4 cant remember)

[The BBKL Insider]

Callahan deal:

@Real_ESPNLeBrun: The Ryan Callahan deal once finalized with Tampa will be six years x $5.8 M AAV with partial NTC

Friedman said 2 years at 9 mil???? 4.5 per...has to be a mistake, right?

[Lee]

Not a joke. HOly crap Nik got paid.

[CAM]

wow....I got him off of FA list couple years ago.

[CAM]

Is the cap still expected in that 70-71 mil range? 10% increase.... when does it get announced and official? Has to be before Jul 1st does it not?

[kyuss]

hey Lee, I'm disappointed, you failed to report McElhinney's new contract with the Jackets!

I mean, that's big news here in Nashville

[Lee]

Meh

[kyuss]

lol

I see CAM himself brought up Svedberg's contract, fair enough then

[Lee]

UFA Rostislav Klesla, who played for Phoenix before being traded to Washington then Buffalo then having his contract terminated, has signed with Trinec of the Czech Republic for next season.

RFA David Ullstrom, who played for Lev Praha of the KHL last season while still property of the NY Islanders, has signed with Cherepovets of the KHL for next season.

[thom54]

Damn it lee

[kyuss]

looks like Klesla was not owned on Fantrax anyway?

[thom54]
