nice trade for San Jose. He's 32yo and only has 1 year on his deal. Surprised Chuck gave up those two picks for him.
7 years.6x7 seems like a lot for Hayes. Very surprised he stayed with AV. Guess he likes to only be a defensive option. Good luck with that Flyers
No. You're not alone.I suppose I'm the only one who likes Gudas more than either Braun or Niskanen?

My goodness.7 years.
Yeah. I was thinking 5 or 6 years at 6.75 or so. The 7th year concerns me more than extra 400k.6x7 seems like a lot for Hayes. Very surprised he stayed with AV. Guess he likes to only be a defensive option. Good luck with that Flyers

Yeah, there are a bunch of teams significantly under the cap with money to spend, but the amount of money they are signing on marginal players is insane.NHL GMs reacting to the possibility the cap might not reach $83 million by throwing around more money is a bold strategy.
there are lots of contracts that you know will not work out well as soon as they are signed. I think this is pretty likely to be one of those.you can not like the player but that's pretty much market price for Hayes. he was going to have several bidders.
I'm not condoning it or anything. paying an okay 2nd line center that probably has more scoring downside than upside and is probably a 3rd line center on a great team doesn't look like it will ever be a great deal. but that market price seems about right for his body of work. tough UFA year.there are lots of contracts that you know will not work out well as soon as they are signed. I think this is pretty likely to be one of those.
I know the cap is going up and things are changing, but he's making almost as much as Ryan O'Reilly now. Obviously the Flyers had to overpay a bit to keep him from hitting UFA and risking a bidding war. I'm not sure he moves the needle much for them though.
Leafs never have a chance though where the Jays and Raptors sometimes win. pretty tough leeg IMONHL is in such a good place compared to other leagues competition wise.
Rangers already making big strides in their rebuild.
Philly I don't love their moves but obviously pushing to improve.
Devils will add Hughes and get Hall who led them to the playoffs back.
Panthers likely add Bobrovsky and maybe Panarin.
Buffalo has to put it together one of these years, right?
Add those to the 9 teams that got 96 or more points last season.
The only team you can say in the East is completely non-competitive is Ottawa and maybe Detroit but they have Yzerman in the fold now.
Compare this to MLB where 5 teams in each league even pretend to competeor the NBA which is similarly top heavy and it's so much better for fans IMO.
Kind of a sad day. Not unexpected as he hasn't been the same since hurting his knee.@CapFriendly: With the #Ducks planning to buyout Corey Perry's contract per @frank_seravalli, the buyout cap hits over the next 4 seasons would be as follows
2019-20: $2,625,000
2020-21: $6,625,000*
2021-22: $2,000,000
2022-23: $2,000,000
*only a $2M difference in Y2

Badly need to know what the ##### is for when I buy my Seattle jersey.Kind of a sad day. Not unexpected as he hasn't been the same since hurting his knee.
My 22 yr old son has basically worn a Perry jersey his entire life.
His thoughts today, "Perry only plays for bird themed teams so the Seattle ##### pigeons have their star."
Weird. It just was there in 2009.Next year's NHL draft is in Montreal where the legal drinking age is 18

I don’t understand the need to free up cap room now. lot of young guys in the pipeline, easily could have waited a year or maybe just let the full two years run out@CapFriendly: With the #Ducks planning to buyout Corey Perry's contract per @frank_seravalli, the buyout cap hits over the next 4 seasons would be as follows

Seems like this move is more about saving dollars rather than cap space.I don’t understand the need to free up cap room now. lot of young guys in the pipeline, easily could have waited a year or maybe just let the full two years run out
that would make more sense. if so I didn’t realize Anaheim was a penny pincherSeems like this move is more about saving dollars rather than cap space.

It was saving the $$ and making room for another youngster to play this year.Seems like this move is more about saving dollars rather than cap space.
They have always been. They get $6mil in cap space this year. I think I read they save $4 mil in real $$if so I didn’t realize Anaheim was a penny pincher
for a successful big market team, they've been remarkably quiet in free agency over the years.that would make more sense. if so I didn’t realize Anaheim was a penny pincher
They have always been. They get $6mil in cap space this year. I think I read they save $4 mil in real $$
Think I read it had something to do with the escrow?Why is the cap only going to be 81-82 million when it was previously projected to be 83? That seems like a lot of lost revenue.
1. NJD - Jack Hughes@Aaron Rudnicki When you have a sec, can you post who you think the top 10 picks will be?
Hope EDM takes the Russian and we get Caufield. Ducks have not drafted a Russian with a high pick in 15 years. Will be surprised if they do that here.1. NJD - Jack Hughes
2. NYR - Kaapo Kakko
3. CHI - Alex Turcotte
4. COL - Bowen Byram
5. LAK - Dylan Cozens
6. DET - Kirby Dach
7. BUF - Trevor Zegras
8. EDM - Cole Caufield
9. ANA - Vasily Podkolzin
10.VAN - Matthew Boldy
he's the biggest wild card. probably 3rd best prospect in the draft but probably won't come over to the NHL for a few years. out of the teams in that range, I just thought Anaheim may be willing to wait. I think there's too much pressure in places like Buffalo, Edmonton and Vancouver to win now. Detroit and Yzerman may trade down, but seems like he could go to them.Hope EDM takes the Russian and we get Caufield. Ducks have not drafted a Russian with a high pick in 15 years. Will be surprised if they do that here.
