Good plan. Makes it look bigger.

I completely missed that Hartnell was traded for Umberger.

Trade Details: Canadiens acquire P.A. Parenteau and a 5th round pick in 2015 from Colorado, for Daniel Briere. #TSN #NHL #FAF

So Montreal gets the better player and a pick. The NHL is weird.

Cao · Post #5 by **Cao** » Mon Jun 30, 2014 2:33 pm

Probably because Parenteau is signed for a couple more years. I think Briere's in the last year of his contract. Plus Colorado hates Parenteau, or something.

Ernie · Post #6 by **Ernie** » Mon Jun 30, 2014 2:54 pm

Toronto buys out Gleason. Gorges refuses to wave NTC to go there.

Apparently Toronto has spent $33m on buyouts since 2008. Lol.

Colorado probably wanted another center too, given that they stand to lose Stastny.

Cao · Post #8 by **Cao** » Mon Jun 30, 2014 2:56 pm

Yeah but if you're losing a centre like Stastny, getting Briere to replace him is really stupid.

Their options are limited. Kinda like going from Kesler to Bonino.

I didn't need that perspective right now.

Right, but Briere was so bad in Philly and Montreal that I think he plays wing exclusively now. There are better UFA options available. I don't think the Avs are hurting at centre either with Duchene and O'Reilly...

In any case, lol @ Kesler -> Bonino

Ironchef Chris Wok · Post #12 by **Ironchef Chris Wok** » Mon Jun 30, 2014 4:22 pm

Kesler at this point is addition by subtraction.

Gagner trade to stab for Purcell the immediately shipped to Pho for a 6th.

Lots of rumours out there. Tomorrow might actually be interesting.

Yup. It took me a long time to figure out who ARI was at the draft.

For my money, Niskanen is the worst contract of the day. He has ONE good season piling up PP points with Malkin and Crosby.

Niskanen might be a decent acquisition. He's posted great possession numbers relative to the rest of his team year after year. Washington will probably be disappointed when he doesn't produce points but I think he's not bad in controlling play.

And NJ signs some ginger goalie for 7x$6

/slams head against a table repeatedly

Ernie · Post #23 by **Ernie** » Wed Jul 09, 2014 5:56 pm

That's quite a bit of money though for a goalie who has only started 135 games (playoffs and regular season). Not saying I wouldn't do it, but sample sizes are important when it comes to goalies, so it's not an absolute slam dunk.

aptar · Post #24 by **aptar** » Wed Jul 09, 2014 6:09 pm

He's lead or been at the top of the league in pretty much every stat, though, so not unreasonable risk. If it was a slam dunk, it would have been a couple million more a year like the guy in NYR.

aptar · Post #25 by **aptar** » Wed Jul 09, 2014 6:10 pm

Can we trade Miller and Horvat to NJ for Schneider?

Ball and Hrudey is a pretty sick commentary team, actually. I'd be pretty damn happy with it if I were a Flames fan.

How has ISIS not beheaded Glenn Healy yet? Must not be real hockey fans.

Tripwyre · Post #32 by **Tripwyre** » Thu Aug 28, 2014 11:43 pm

That entire list of analysts and insiders is pretty horrific really, save for a few choice exceptions. Sportsnet staying loyal to the guys who could never lead them out of second (or third) place.

aptar · Post #33 by **aptar** » Fri Aug 29, 2014 1:47 am

That's typical Sportsnet, though. They realize that they can't compete on a journalistic level, so they need trolls like Cox to manufacture page views with ignorant opinions. Elliotte Friedman is a stronger man than any of us.

Of course they are. Instead of spending money on the people they just bought up the rights, it doesn't matter who the talking heads are anymore because they have no competition. Glenn Healy forever!

I would prefer silence over Healy. Just an empty chair.

So Pang and Johnson are the only TSN guys to jump ship?

They all re-upped long term within a few weeks after the rights announcement, if I recall. That was the window if they were going to poach talent.

I don't get the feeling Sportsnet values that kind of analyst, though.

Indeed, I think they're quite the fan of talking heads in the style of a talk show host who pisses people off and drives page views.

Schroeder on waivers today.

Figures. Kid is never gonna make it full time until he stops being a perimeter player.

Minnesota is starting to be where all of our fanbase's "but the coach misplayed him" players go to die.

Actually I think Jensen might turn out ok. 9 months ago I would have laughed at the idea of him playing in the NHL.

Tripwyre · Post #45 by **Tripwyre** » Tue Sep 30, 2014 4:33 pm

AV deployed Schroeder in such a way that his strengths with the puck outweighed his physical weakness, I'm still not gonna say otherwise. I never said he was going to be a star, just that he could be productive at the NHL level. Two years ago, that certainly looked like the case. He was horrible last year of course, but so was everyone.
