He's already walking this back. Was too good to be true.

Brutal. Sorry for the waste of info, I was thinking 4 years was light.

But wait, I saw it on rototurd.com!

 

[Coeur de Lion]

Those are all players they can flip at the trade deadline. 

He isn't a good fit for their speed game anymore, and wingers are the last thing that the Pens need.

No problem. I didn't buy it as soon as I read it. Thought maybe it was a fake account or something.

I'd expect him to be willing to leave some money on the table, but big money and three years would be crazy.

 

[Coeur de Lion]

@DarrenDreger: Confirming Nick Bonino is going to Nashville. 4/5 year term.

Hate to see Bones go, but glad he's out of the Metro and the East. Nashville fans will love him.

 

[AcerFC]

Boyle to the Devils seems like a nice move for the team

 

[Billy Bats]

Niemi signing in Pittsburgh. 

*gets out his Murray voodoo doll*  

 

[IC FBGCav]

Aaron Ward: Unofficially hearing Alzner and Montreal Canadiens have agreed on a 5 year deal at roughly $4.5M per. #TSN

That's not godawful if true, was expecting some wacky GM throwing 6m+ per his way. 

So does every washed up d man from our 2006 cup team break news?

 

[IC FBGCav]

Kevin Weeks saying Shatty to NYR for 4/6.9 per. 

Car goalie breaking new too, guess we got to mix it up.  

 

[IC FBGCav]

Speaking of the 2006 team, Justin Williams back with Canes.

Holy mother of God.  2 years 4.5 AAV.  Jesus.

5 million in 2017, 4 in 2018.

Crazy.

Guess we got to overpay to get FA's but his wife's whole family is from here.

Pfft. I'll believe it when Glen Wesley and Bret Hedican confirm it.

This just in from Rod Brind'Amour......

 

[IC FBGCav]

Pfft. I'll believe it when Glen Wesley and Bret Hedican confirm it.

Hopefully they get in the media before Francis starts offering them 3 million a year.

 

[northern exposure]

Wow Hanzal gets 3 years at $4.75 mill per from Dallas.

Niemi signing in Pittsburgh. 

*gets out his Murray voodoo doll*  

I'm seeing Niemi signing with Dallas.

Ducks sign Fowler to 8 year, $52 mill extension.

#Pens sign Antti Niemi to $700K, 1-year deal.12:40 PM · Jul 1, 2017

Probably not true.  

 

[northern exposure]

2 monster signings by the Sharks from Pierre LeBrun - defenceman Marc-Edouard Vlasic has signed an eight-year, $56 million extension and goaltender Martin Jones is locked for six years and $34.5 million. Both were set to become free agents next summer.

[JaxBill]

Man, Vlasic is a good player but his agent needs a raise.

 

[Coeur de Lion]

Niemi signing in Pittsburgh. 

*gets out his Murray voodoo doll*  

If anything happens to Murray it'll be Jarry -- this is just so that he can take another year to develop in WBS.

 

[AcerFC]

Must be a very tough call for Shatty. If im guessing, he wants to play for Rangers but they are not offering what he wants.

#Pens sign Antti Niemi to $700K, 1-year deal.12:40 PM · Jul 1, 2017

Probably not true.  

TSN now showing Niemi to Pens. They had him going to Stars earlier.

 

[Coeur de Lion]

Matt Hunwick to the Pens 2.25 x 3 -- seems reasonable for a 3rd pairing guy. Younger and more mobile than Hainsey but less physical from what I've read.

So far, so good JR. Keep right on sticking with the bargain bin.

 

[bicycle_seat_sniffer]

In a deal that’s been rumored for a while, the Red Wings have secured the services of blueliner Trevor Daley.

It’s a three-year, $9.5 million pact with an average cap hit of $3.178 million, per TSN. The move comes after Daley, 33, helped Pittsburgh capture back-to-back Stanley Cups, averaging 19:07 TOI this spring while racking up five points over 21 games.

The move remains consistent with Detroit GM Ken Holland’s refusal to enter a rebuilding phase. Daley should help with Holland’s goal of getting the Red Wings back into the playoffs, as he’s a steadying and veteran presence on the back end.

That said, Daley has dealt with injury problems in each of the past two

OK Holland wtf.... why are they making moves like this...tear it down and rebuild...don't sign 33 yeard old dmen

 

[Boston]

OK Holland wtf.... why are they making moves like this...tear it down and rebuild...don't sign 33 yeard old dmen

This is a Chiarelli move...it's not huge money but you are tying up money that can be used better elsewhere...a few of these type of contracts on a team that isn't close can real hurt them...

 

[Coeur de Lion]

OK Holland wtf.... why are they making moves like this...tear it down and rebuild...don't sign 33 yeard old dmen

Yeah, I don't see the point of this for them at all.

 

[RUSF18]

Now they're saying Shatt to NYR 4 x 6.65.

Can't hate that.

Big win for Gorton

 

[Zegras11]

Ducks sign Fowler to 8 year, $52 mill extension.

His game improved a ton last year

 

[northern exposure]

Stars make a nice budget signing of Tyler Pitlick for 3 years at $1mill per. He has always looked good at Oilers TC and starts the season off great, only to see his career wrecked so far by injuries (broken leg,etc.) 

 

[Coeur de Lion]

Now they're saying Shatt to NYR 4 x 6.65.

Can't hate that.

Another one that is surprisingly reasonable if true. I was expecting something like 7x7...

Maybe salary a little more than what I thought in previous tweet. Ryan Miller, two years, $4 million. #NHLDucks

Exactly. That term terrified me.

 

[Zegras11]

The Predators have signed Scott Hartnell to a one-year, $1 million contract.

The Senators have signed Nate Thompson to a two-year deal worth $1.65 million per season

[Zegras11]

The Vancouver Canucks have signed goaltender Anders Nilsson to a two-year/$4.5 million contract.

 

[Zegras11]

Poor guy,,,

The Nashville Predators have dealt Colin Wilson to Colorado for a fourth round pick in 2019.

That's a lot of money for a backup goalie

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Exactly. That term terrified me.

Seems like a mistake for Shattenkirk to settle on a 4-year deal but he gets to play where he wanted. Nice signing. 

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Kunitz to Tampa for 1 year, $2MM

 

[northern exposure]

Kunitz to Tampa for 1 year, $2MM

My first thought was I was surprised he settled for such a low number and term. Then I looked him up and remembered he will be 38 this season. I thought he was only 33. 

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

The Sabres have signed Benoit Pouliott for one year at $1.15 million.

Beautiful

 

[northern exposure]

Beautiful

With the money he's getting from the Oilers that puts him at about $2.2 mill next season. That's a reasonable number for him, not like that 5 year/20 mill piece of #### contract MacTavish gave him after he was making just over a million per with his other contracts.
