Oilers sign Ceci. Looks like 4-5 years at something in the 3.5 to 4.5 million range.

Good for him.

mikey's Thread of Penguin Randomness

Have to wonder what deal Vegas vetoed last summer for Fleury if they took that deal with Chicago. Reports were that then GMJR only bought out JMFJ to make space for Fleury. Since GMJR had a penchant to over pay I'd say they lost out. Maybe just 100% DEAD SET against retention, even if something of ...

Based on how the draft went, I'm unsure they still wouldn't take Vanecek. Given that GMRF was all cheesed about salary cap.
I agree. But the chance/choice was never given.

Why is OV not signed? He is coming off of a $9.5M cap hit, and they have $9.7M space, with no NHL capable goalies signed beyond Copley (so-so backup). They can go 10% over the cap during the summer, but I suppose that they do not want to paint themselves into a corner yet. They will need to make mo...

The Oleksiak contract is horrible, $4.6Mx5 Three years of full NTC followed by two years of MNTC with a 16 team list. The entire thing is awful. If Hextall can convince other GMs that the Oleksiak contract is a good deal, then he should have takers lining up for Pettersson and Matheson. He just has...

What's dumber is he wasted two picks on UFAs (Larsson, Oleksiak) that he literally could've signed at any time. He could've gotten both plus a player from Dallas and Edmonton.

Yeah, it's weird that they didn't have any rules in place about doing that that Seattle needed to follow.

Fitting that they have Macklemore make multiple picks as this Seattle team is turning out to be quite a Thrift Shop shopping spree.

Ullmark doesn't solve anything. You can say that Buffalo is bad in front of him, but I will say that he hasn't done anything to show that he is not as bad as what is in front of him too.

Why lose McCann for nothing if you know you can get assets back? Why doesn't what you say about Tanev apply to him? Man, you guys really overvalue a 4th liner making $3.5m Just because a coach with horrible player usage plays him on the 4th line, it doesn't make him a 4th liner. Just like Rodrigues...

McCann to TOR for Hallander and a 7th

Does McCann getting claimed by Seattle affect your feeling of the trade's return...? Does him getting exposed change it...?
No.

The only thing that it does is makes me wonder about Toronto's though process behind the trade.

Surprised that the Caps protected Oshie's contract considering their cap issues and Ovechkin being a UFA.

We'll see, I imagine it's still possible to bait the hook for Seattle in some way, if we wanted...but it seems like maybe we don't want that...I'm a bit surprised Carter was protected over Tanev though...

Are the lists official, or just the one writer tweet?
