I don't know if it even needs to be "refreshed"...our venue, that is...

But for those that like to just track offseason maneuvering and not other random crap, this might be useful...it might not...

I'll throw some trades in here over the course of the day...


Kris Russell re-signed in Edmonton just now, 4 yrs, $4 mil per. Played well for them last year, I like that player.

Some recent trades:

Edmonton acquires: Ryan Strome
NY Islanders acquire: Jordan Eberle

Montreal acquires: David Schlemko
Vegas acquires: 2019 5th round pick

Carolina acquires: Trevor van Riemsdyk
Vegas acquires: Pick #62 and a 7th in 2018

Arizona acquires: Niklas Hjalmarsson
Chicago acquires: Connor Murphy and Laurent Dauphin

Pretty underwhelming return for a terrific defender in Hammer...

Are the Blackhawks just dumping salary at this point?

I'm not sure what they're doing...they pulled the Kruger deal off the table when Hossa became allergic to playing for free...and then they dump a far superior player in Hammer (their 2nd best d-man overall) and get back TVR's replacement...weird move in a vacuum...

Actually, with Dauphin, the Hawks actually takes on money in the deal...Murphy makes about as much Hjalmarsson does...

Saad to CHI, Panarin to CBJ

you were sooooo scooped by the other thread

Weird.

I got it via text, thought it was news.

SAAD!

trade details confirm what we knew: 5th and 6th picks are great for sealing a deal.

I like Saad...I would not trade Panarin...

Blackhawks actually take on money with these two deals combined...

I am wondering if someone from here or lgp too over GM duties in Chicago today...

They haven't overpaid for an unnecessary trade of Duchene yet.

That makes NYR pretty weak at center, doesn't it?

Until Thornton...

They were weak at center with Stepan...

What are the Rags doing?

The Hawks traded Hjalmarsson????

$10 says the sign Shattenkirk.

Getting rid of a second line center making first line center money, is declining, slow and has a NTC that kicks in in a week with 4 years and $6.5 mil per left...

So, so far the Hawks lost TVR, Hossa, Panarin, Hjalmarsson, and Motte. Yoi.

I could see the Rangers signing Shane Doan.

Not only weak at center, but weak in goal. Lundqvist is top tier goaltender, but age is catching up with him. Not a smart move in my eyes, as I don't know who will be in the backup role now. Raanta has a really good potential from what I've seen of him.
