[Signing] Oilers re-sign Darnell Nurse
D-Money replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
To be honest, Nurse was probably a top-10 D man last year. He was definitely better than Jones and Werenski. Once they got that money, it seemed inevitable that Nurse would get similar to stay in Edmonton. But he doesn’t have the body of work that most of the top guys do. Will he keep it up? Or was last year an outlier? -
The Carolina Hurricanes would like to welcome Lukas, Nicolas, Berglund, and Adams to the organization. We'd also like to apologize to @Nail for the flood of offers he got from us. Deslauriers and the recently acquired Carrier should provide a lot of grit at the bottom of the line-up. Svejkovsky and Adams are nice additions to our forward prospect pool. And I'm super-stoked to be able to land Victor Berglund to the D prospects - very high on him, so he became a priority among our free agent offers. Still have a number of spots to fill, and a bunch of offers outstanding. Hoping to finish off the 23-man roster with our limited cap space, without having to depend on more than 2 of our prospects making the show in October.

Boeser’ qualifying offer will be $7.5M. And if he continues to play like he did last year, he shouldn’t have to accept less.

Signings!!!

Not currently, no. They may even have a slight bump due to Sutter's defensive systems. But there is no high-end talent coming. So they will likely continue to meander as a bubble team for a few years, then have to start all over again.

Bought tickets to the upcoming tour in November. Will likely be my first concert in a very long time.

I can see why Avs didn't want to give Gru the contract Seattle did. He's been injured a lot, and playing behind an elite team likely boosted his numbers quite a bit. I suspect Kuemper may be an even better goalie for them. But there's no doubt Sakic got himself in a jam, and had to overpay to secure a good starter with not many options. I mean, the Vezina winner was just traded for nothing, and Nedelkovic not much more. This seems extreme by comparison.

Never been through a divorce, I gather? When the emotions get strong, even seemingly normal and level-headed people can do some crazy stuff to try to get back at the other. When I first heard there was allegations, I was concerned that they were true. But now the source, I'm less inclined to believe them.

[Signing] Blue Jackets re-sign Zach Werenski
D-Money replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Yup. By about half a million (Josi). -
[Signing] Blues sign Brandon Saad
D-Money replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Grubauer Saad Donskoi Graves Timmins Nice to see them forced back to the pack a bit. -
[Signing] Penguins sign Brock McGinn
D-Money replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Tanev replacement. -
[Signing] Stars sign Braden Holtby
D-Money replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Yeah, doesn't make much sense... Unless there's another injury we're not aware of. -
[Signing] Flames sign Blake Coleman
D-Money replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Better player than Hyman, for less money. -
[Signing] Canucks sign Tucker Poolman
D-Money replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
39 GP last year, 1 point. Decent defensively though. Might shield Rathbone/OJ on the bottom pair. -
[Signing] Edmonton signs Zach Hyman
D-Money replied to Chickenspear's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Not sure what Holland is doing. Didn't he learn anything from Frans Nielsen, Justin Abdelkader, Dale Helm, etc. These "try hard" guys don't tend to age well. -
It's too bad Schmidt didn't work out. Seemed like a really good guy. And on paper, at least, he should have been a great fit here. But sometimes things just go sideways - I certainly don't blame him for wanting a fresh start after how last season went for the team. Considering that he had a tough season, was a year older, and was rumored to want out, getting a 3rd back without retaining any or taking money back is not bad at all. I still like the player, and hope he fits in well in Winnipeg. I think they're going to have a great year.

[Rumor] Brandon Sutter re-signing in van
D-Money replied to Bertuzzipunch's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
This. He wasn’t healthy enough to bring his A game all year, but really showed up in the playoffs. And that happened in Pittsburgh too. Some players can stand out during the season, but disappear when the intensity gets ratcheted up. For instance, I like Khaira, but so far in his limited playoff experience he hasn’t done much (8GP, 1A, -2, 8 PIMs). If you can sign a guy like Sutter for less than $2M, it’s a win. -
[Rumour/Speculation] Brad Hunt coming to Vancouver
D-Money replied to AV.'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Hunt actually had a solid 2019-20 season with Minnesota. Played almost the whole season for them, and produced well. Even played in all 4 playoff games against us. But didn’t do much this past year, on a better/deeper Wild team. He’s a decent guy to have around as a #8 defenseman, and if sent down gets to be a draw for the AHL club. Totally zero-risk move. -
Most teams probably won’t pay up for Schmidt while they have potential options to fill the role in free agency. Problem in Winnipeg is they can’t depend on getting free agents, so they had to trade for what they needed. If a Schmidt trade happens, it probably won’t be until after the free agent options are all snapped up. Problem is though Vancouver will have to sign his replacement, which might weaken their leverage.

The dream would be another Klingberg here. RH Swedish D-man with skating ability and some size drafted in the 5th round. It’s a lottery ticket at this point, but you can’t win without a ticket!
