NHL Off-Season thread:Down goes Kane! (4 Viewers)

[Parmcat]

One other thing I forgot to include in the PMs that I sent is that a couple Hawks contracted VD from the Ice Girls and now the team is considering getting rid of the Ice Girls altogether.

That tidbit is the least sensational item of the ones I heard.

Lets go Chet.....

Posting a hockey rumour on a football messageboard under one of 10 alias won't point any fingers at you...

Spill it!

Lindros was reportedly banging Brind'amour's wife back in the day.

What an #######.

Gary Leeman, Al Iafrate part deux

How good is Tyler Bozak

Lots of speculation about him going to the Rangers for John Moore.

It just confuses me a little since I feel C is the least of the Rangers concerns despite being awful on the draw

He is not replacing Step, Brassard or Moore. So that leaves Hayes going to wing. Little shuked here

He's a defensive C miscast as an offensive guy. Popular whipping boy among people who follow advanced stats.He does win draws though.

Thanks rude. Not sure that makes sense but Moore isnt in the plans so...

 

[falguy]

this is really worth reading: http://www.theplayerstribune.com/in-my-blood/

I had a pulmonary embolism in 2003. Before being diagnosed I was at the point where I couldn't walk up a flight of stairs without being totally winded. Can't imagine him being able to participate in pickup hockey let alone compete at the NHL level.

 

[Billy Bats]

Caps grab Gleason for Hillen and a 4th.

 

[Billy Bats]

Many tweets today saying Zuc is being shopped. Any correlation?

 

[belljr]

Blackhawks acquire Kimmo Timonen for a 2015 2nd and conditional 2016 4th.

Good luck Kimmo, hope you get your cup.

Just heard this one. Would be very shocked if they moved him for anything shy of a guy who flagrantly helps a Cup run this year. He's worth a ton to the Rangers just for the next few months, so unless negotiations are so far apart that they KNOW he's not returning AND they are getting a good top 6 wing in return, he's staying put.

 

[Billy Bats]

Ducks trade Heatley and a 3rd for Fleischmann.

Agree, would be surprised they would move him without getting something to help a cup run this year. If I was a fan I'd rather they keep him and lose him then trade him for futures.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Ducks trade Heatley and a 3rd for Fleischmann.

So, Florida dealt Fleischmann and a 2nd for Jagr and a 3rd? That seems really bad.

 

[tom22406]

Caps grab Gleason for Hillen and a 4th.

Good depth move and some added muscle to pair with Green if Schmidt doesn't rebound from his injury like hoped.

 

[AcerFC]

Agree on zuuc. Keep and resign is tops. But they just dont have the ability.

So keep and lose is better than a trade imo

 

[Northern Voice]

Ducks trade Heatley and a 3rd for Fleischmann.

So Florida gets some cap relief and a 3rd round pick, Anaheim gets the better of two players on their last legs in the NHL?

 

[Northern Voice]

"Zach Bogosian has averaged 28:08 of ice time in 5 games w/ the #Sabres, logging 7 shots, 26 hits & 16 blocked shots. +3."

Thoughts so far Rude?

Fleischmann is only 30 years old. Could rebound under Boudreau.

He's nasty. Love that, but underwhelmed a bit with his offense.

 

[Yankee23Fan]

Invading the Wells Fargo tonight. Good times.

 

[AcerFC]

What can anyone tell me about the WHL. Rangers have a kid named Tambellini who scores like 4 goals a game. Is he legit.

I dont follow any jr hockey so I know nothing except there are a few different leagues.

If he's scoring 4 goals a game, I'm guessing its not the Western Hockey League which along with the OHL is one of the 2 best junior leagues in the world (sorry Q).

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

He has 44 goals in 61 games for Calgary. Good sign but he's 20 so is older than most of the kids he's playing against.

Yeah just looked him up,like Aaron says, be wary of numbers of 20 year olds in junior leagues. Top prospects usually play in the AHL at 20. Tambelini's case is a bit different since he was originally going the college route.

 

[Billy Bats]

Hawks acquire Vermette.

Eta: twitter jumped the gun on this one, not done yet.

I know this has been asked already. Give me top 3 nhl twitter guys. Tia

I'd add Pierre Lebrun and Elliotte Friedmann as well.

Was hoping for 6 points on the six game trip, got 9.

LET's GO RED WINGS!

 

[AcerFC]

Awesome. Thanks

A little of what I've been talking about.

The yoga pants thread could be updated from here pretty well.

 

[Raider Nation]

Rags and Flyers with a primetime NBC game on Saturday, huh? Cool.

Twitter abuzz that the Broons have made a deal. Stay tuned.

Hopefully Chris Stewart

 

[kupcho1]

what a story this Hammond kid is. that save he makes 6 on 4 with s minute left, unbelievable. no name, no pedigree...no goals.

I figured he was hot garbage since he was available on waivers. I'm usually last to get anyone worth a damn.

Latest is he never submitted his list of 10 teams so he's not going anywhere.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

@TSNBobMcKenzie: Massive speculation that trading of Antoine Vermette of ARI is close. CHI said to be frontrunner.

@FriedgeHNIC: Vermette is flying home with ARI from Boston. Team has scheduled day off tomorrow. If it is CHI, Dahlbeck appears to be part of the package.

 

[Billy Bats]

Hawks acquire Vermette.

Eta: twitter jumped the gun on this one, not done yet.

This one is done.

Lebrun: Vermette traded to Chicago pending NHL trade call

9:36pm - 28 Feb 15

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

@FriedgeHNIC: Dahlbeck and a first

Monday might be pretty boring with everything that's getting done.

Cam Atkinson being mentioned as a possibility.

@FriedgeHNIC: Dahlbeck and a first

Stan's going all in, got better defensively and maybe will allow Toews line to be more offensive. Can Stan get that 1st back by moving Sharp in the off season?

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Hawks pretty aggressive. Gave up 1st and 2nd in strong draft plus prospect for 2 rentals. Kane injury not scaring them. It's helping them load up.

With the cap going up so little next year a sell off is coming in the off season so it's all in, Kane's injury really allows Stan to go after players without losing anyone. The 2nd they gave up will be the pick they get from Hayes so they still have a 2nd and I am guessing that a lot of picks will be coming back as the Hawks trade in the off season.

Even Yotes and Panturds fans can confidently say, "at least we're not the Maple Leafs."
