Old news

[Shep]

I don't want to sift through everything I missed, so I'm just posting.

What rumours am I missing here? I'm in an expansion draft pool, and this is what I've gathered:

- Columbus rumoured deal apparently allows them to take Karlsson or Calvert (they wanted to protect Anderson, Korpisalo, JJohnson)

- the Dallas rumoured deal about getting a pick to take Lehtonen

- Chicago rumoured deal of 1st to take Kruger

- the Islanders rumoured deals are all over the place, so many conflicting reports

- Anaheim is just assumed there's a deal, but I am not quite sure if that'll be the case - bad GMing by McPhee if so

What else is out there (or confirm/deny my info above)?

^ seems to be accurate

- the Dallas rumoured deal about getting a pick to take Lehtonen

^ have heard this, but rumours about swapping 2017 1sts as well

- Chicago rumoured deal of 1st to take Kruger

^heard the deal is Kruger + 1st to take TVR

- the Islanders rumoured deals are all over the place, so many conflicting reports

^heard 1st + Grabo + prospect to take Kulemin

- Anaheim is just assumed there's a deal, but I am not quite sure if that'll be the case - bad GMing by McPhee if so

What else is out there (or confirm/deny my info above)?

It's starting to sound more and more like Vegas is happy to just take mostly junk from teams in the short term to build up their prospect pool. Makes sense, there's no point building a team that's kind of competitive for a couple of years then has to go into a full rebuild.

I'm not sure, I think they will take a few good deals (like the Grabo one) and then draft the best players they can. Pick 14 + 77 is worth more than Calvin De Hann.

This is most certainly not true. No way I'd trade CDH for that (and the Islanders have pick 15 btw)

A lot of speculation right now, I'm sure there will be some surprises.

CLB I heard was for their 1st and a prospect, but not Milano or Dubois and Clarkson contract is likely involved.

DAL I have heard they might pay for them to take Eakin to free up cap as well, would assume that wouldn't cost much.

CHI I heard Vegas is getting Kruger + TVR + something but I doubt it's a 1st since Kruger's deal isn't that toxic.

NYI I heard the Kulemin for a 1st+ most recently and rumours they take Grabovski's contract.

ANA I heard at first there was a deal involving trading them Bieksa which is why he wasn't bought out and then I heard they had no official deal as of yet.

PIT I heard is paying something to make sure they take Fleury since they need the cap relief.

OTT I heard is trying to work something out to protect Methot

FLA - Marchessault's agent confirmed Tallon said he tried to make a deal to protect him and failed so speculation is he goes to Vegas.

CAR - I heard is trying to get them to select Lack.

NYR are rumoured to be trying to protect Raanta

MIN are rumoured to be trying something but no details if it's all or any of Dumba/Scandella/Staal

Friedman said on the radio yesterday in speaking with GMs he believes Vegas already had 7 to 10 side deals agreed to.

Then u are silly.

I feel extremely confident saying that league-wide CDH holds more value than the 15th pick + a 3rd.

I'm not sure.. a #15 is worth more in real life than in bbkl. But I assume CdH is rated higher by the NHL than people around here, so who knows..

Bbkl, maybe

NHL, absolutely not.

I can absolutely assure you he holds more value in the NHL than BBKL, first of all. And he 1000% has more value than a mid-first. I feel like anyone saying otherwise pretty clearly hasn't watched him enough since it really is pretty obvious.

[Matthew]

People in bbkl tend to overvalue picks around the draft. Once the season starts they are chopped liver.

Dougie Hamilton went for a similar package and he's far better than dehaan

He went for more and at the time everyone said it was a highway robbery.

According to several sources, there is a legitimate possibility Hossa has played his final NHL game. (He could not be reached for comment. Neither could his agent, Ritch Winter. The Blackhawks declined to comment.) Apparently, he suffers from a serious allergic reaction to the equipment he wears.

[Matthew]

Get new equipment.

[Lee]

It has nothing at all to do with his salary being 1m going forward while having a high cap hit.

[timwebb1212]

Crazy coincidence that now, after such a long career, he has allergic reaction problems. Crazy.

[hong57]

thats how they cut cap all these time
