Been a while. Thought I'd put out there that Jaccob Slavin is a available. Got defensive studs in Scott Perunovich and David Farrance who will be ready next year. So he's looking like he could be the odd man out.

Yes and no. For starters, it was reported that 22 teams in total were trying to trade for PLD, so he's not an unknown, or unwanted asset. Also, PLD was playing with subpar linemates and still producing. He'll have better linemates in Winnipeg. Third, Roslovic had every opportunity last season to snatch up the 2nd line center job, and didn't succeed in it. He was "ok", but clearly not as a 2nd line center on an elite offensive team. Further, Laine had already been surpassed on the depth chart by Connor, who's not only paid less than Laine will command this off-season, but tied for second in points this season league wide, playing the fewest games. It's a small sample size for this immediate season, but Connor being their 1st line winger over Laine had already been decided. All things considered, the Jets did overpay a little, but they were also trading from a position of strength. And shipping out two players who were not going to ever be 1st line players on their club. And, in Roslovic's case, unfortunately couldn't step up into the 2nd line successfully. Both extremely talented players who I hope have emmense success going forward. And for PLD, a 6'3" 220lb center, I'm looking forward to see what a one two punch of Scheifele and PLD can do for their club.

You're only correct on 2 of them. Buff stopped playing entirely. He played there for 8 seasons and signed an extension. Burmistrov sucked. Hard. Myers, they didn't want to pay a 3rd pairing defenseman, who doesn't play defense or produce much offensively, anything more than he's worth.

No coincidence PLD is in Winnipeg, either, with his father working within the organization as one of the Moose assistant coaches.

I'm utterly shocked the worst kept secret trade for months came to fruition.

No, but Toffoli, Markstrom, and Tanev's agents did, and the Canucks couldn't afford them because of all that salary.

Didn't check standings at all this season until just now. Nice.

The Tampa Bay Lightning have signed Tobias Rieder to a 1 year contract, worth $750k. @Tylez @Nail

The Carolina Hurricanes have signed Nicolas Aube-Kubel to a 1 year, worth $950K. @D-Money @Nail

4-2 Habs. Hopefully one of these guys scores for the Canucks, though. Tyler Myers - 6M Loui Eriksson - 6M Brandon Sutter - 4.375M Michael Ferland - 3.5M Roberto Luongo 3M Antoinne Roussel - 3M Jay Beagle - 3M Jordie Benn - 2M Sven Bartschi 2.291M Ryan Spooner - 1.033M

OK.
