NHL Transactions, Injuries & Rumours

I like Blais.

But good deal all around

[Shoalzie]

They lose Blackwell in the draft and move out Buchnevich...they add Goodrow and Blais. That's a good start for a checking line. Kakko and Lafraniere should be capable of replacing the loss of Buchnevich's offensive output. Opens up a top 6 spot on the wing for one of those guys.

[Shoalzie]

Sounding like Ekman-Larsson and Garland are both heading to Vancouver?


EDIT---The Coyotes are getting the Canucks 1st along with bad contracts (Beagle/Eriksson/Roussel). They are getting back into the 1st round and they are jumping both feet in with acquiring contracts.

[bills09]

Amazing deal for Vancouver....

[Shoalzie]

Ekman-Larsson is going to be a tough contract later but I think they're better off with his cap hit than having Eriksson sit in the press box. From a fantasy perspective...I'm certainly intrigued what he does with the Canucks. I wonder what Garland will get on his new deal?

From a Coyotes' perspective...they've added draft picks after getting crushed by the Chayka penalties but they're going to have a poo poo roster. Is Ladd and Eriksson their new Datsyuk and Hossa? Seems to be they're driving this thing into a rebuild.

Team is gonna get moved to Houston watch

[Shoalzie]

You think Houston is a relocation spot ahead of Quebec City?

Really fun few hours leading into the draft...good trades to shake up some of early picks. Since this thing is not in a venue with fans...I won't miss the lack of Bettman announcing trades. Might as well do them now.

Is there anywhere online I can watch the Entry Draft?

100%. Bettman hates Canada
Maybe Florida or Carolina move to QC.
Arizona to Houston

Holy shit there have been some awful trades today already

[Matthew]

Ugh. We (Canucks) are doomed until Benning is gone.

Yes he dumped 3 bad contracts, but Erikson, Russell, and Beagle all had 1 year left on them.

And he acquires 30 year old OEL for 6 years at 8.25M instead. Hopefully he can turn it around.

I like Garland, but Benning isn't great at contracts, as seen by the 3 signings he is now dumping, so hopefully Garland doesn't get too overpaid.

And their goes 9th overall...

..I think ARZ should have retained 1.25M on OEL

Sportsbay.org is my go to

[bills09]

I subscribe to Sportsnet now. Offered me the summer free so I’ll be watching it there

[Matthew]

So hard being a canucks fan during the benning era

[Matthew]

Seth Jones headed to Chicago on 7 year extension

[bills09]

9.5M is a lot for Mr Jones

Eichel incoming…

Is it that bad? I quite like it. But tbh I haven’t watched OEL much… has he slipped? Tough to know where he was at mentally playing in the dessert. Maybe the sedins will power him up

[Loki]

OEL is very bad and has been for a while

[Fraser]

Amazing trade for Vancouver
