NHL Transactions, Injuries & Rumours

Good news for me...appears that Dvorak and Hal Gill are going to sign deals also.

[Chuck Norris]

Ottawa assigns Mika Zibanejad to the AHL.

cap purposes? LOL

wut

Yeah that's what it seems to be, supposedly ottawas over budget and needs to make a move with smith/kassian before they can keep zibby up. I'll be surprised if he misses more than a game or two, if that.

Not true, appraently Murray told Zibby that he essentially let 2 guys come into camp and take his spot. Apparently had a horrible camp.

Something like that after looking into it a bit more.
There was a top 6 spot and a third line spot available
Conacher and Pageau worked their asses off to get each respectively, guess zibby thought he already had a spot on the team.
Strange though, considering Zibby was the sens best player for the second half of last season. Not really worried for zibby in the long run as an owner, should be back in the sens lineup asap.
Seems like a similar treatment to what's been done to Max Pac, and EK before, hoping to spark a fire under him with the demotion.

You mean Da Costa, not Conacher.

[Peter]

You mean Da Costa, not Conacher.

Da Costa isn't in the top 6, or maybe even 9? He's just on the team.
Conacher top 6 W, Pageau third line C, both spots that zibby should've/could've had for himself.
Obviously they wouldn't let zibby play on the 4th line, better off to let him work his way from big minutes in Bingo

[Robin Hood]

Lol I love it when GMs that own the particular player in question come to this thread to explain why their guy got demoted/waived/traded/bought out etc.

TJ Brennan demoted

He was probably the leafs best dman at camp, but was a casuality of Randy not liking puck movers and he was sadly sent down.

He was quoted talking about da costa and pageau. Conacher was already on the team

Beau Bennett sent to ECHL ...

I assume this is a cap related move and he'll be recalled by game 1?

[The BBKL Insider]

According to Sportsnet Kessel and the leafs are trying to close a 'last minute extension' before the puck drops tomorrow night.

[The BBKL Insider]

Kessel about to get done folks!

according to big bobby mc looks like 8x8 (plus or minus 500k)

I don't understand this move at all...

[Nick]

As much as I dislike the un-rounded and sissy aspect of kessel's game, much like the sister's in Vancouver it's undeniable what their scoring ability it worth in the league.



FWIW: Pete's breakdown of Zibby is kinda how I see it as well.

The Wheeling Nailers of the ECHL are located in Wheeling, West Virginia. 1 hour drive vs a 4.5 hour drive to Wilkes-Barre. Mystery solved. Good job, Billy.

[bills09]

not the first nhl team to use this cap move.

[kimmer]
