NHL Transactions, Injuries & Rumours

Two conditions have to be met for Oilers to send 3rd round pick to Calgary - James Neal has to record at least 21 goals and Lucic scores at least 10 fewer goals than Neal.

lol, I can see Lucic getting scratched late in the season if he reaches 10 goals and Neal gets close to the target

Clarkson and a 4th traded for Garrett sparks

Crazy...He went from goalie of the future to this very quickly...

[Lee]

We were truely fucked if Garrett Sparks is /was the goalie of the future.

[Da_Hawks]

At one point he might of been the goalie of the future, but after seeing his style in his first go around it was clear he didn't have the makings of an NHL starter. A quality backup is still very possible.

I agree, but if you go back a year ago, he was very highly thought of within the leafs brass...

Ryan Murphy* not Ryan Murray

[Shoalzie]

Oh, you mean Murphy...I saw he left for the KHL. Starting to see more of those fringe NHL veterans leaving for Europe.

I was going to say that Murray re-signed with the Jackets.

I'm wondering about the next wave of UFAs. Are teams just waiting for the arbitration players to get resolved and for the bigger named RFAs to sign? For a team like the Sharks with all their RFAs signed...are they just waiting for Thornton to decide if he wants to play? Are they still looking at bringing back Marleau?

There's not a lot of big names left...Gardiner, Brassard, Boyle, Ben Hutton, Girardi, Vanek, Methot, Sheahan. Gardiner is probably the last impact free agent and the rest are depth or middle of the lineup guys.

Pat maroon too- surprised he hasn’t signed yet

ahah yes sorry. The Cherry thing proves I did mean Murphy

Vasilevskiy signs extension with Tampa Bay

8 yrs x 9.5m aav

Age 26-33, so not as bad term as some goalie contracts.

Still, a lot to pay a goaltender.

[Da_Hawks]

This trade solidies Tampa as a team that will never win a cup, joining Montreal in the process.

Your team cannot win with that much money tied into goaltending. I bet that I will never be proven wrong.
