    Would be surprising considering he is coming off a team friendly deal where he gave the organization years to build a contender and they failed miserably

    Probably not likely but at least Lou has a track record.

    Maybe Tavares is going to play the martyr here and demand a provision that allows him to grow wild facial hair.

    Match that, Lou.

    Yea. Roster wise jets are better even with losing to Vegas in 5. But it’s close enough that I wouldn’t think twice about going to Vegas instead.

    So basically Kovalchuk is getting bought out when this deal proves awful.

    It also allows means the kings owe him nothing if/when there is a lockout.

    Wings are signing Harri Säteri. He will be the guy in Grand Rapids but I remember him impressing me a bit in the limited time he was with the Panthers. It would be lovely if we could deal Howard and make him the #2.

    lockout aside - isnt there a rule you cant buy out a contract signed by a player who is 35+

    True.

    God I hate that we are going to have another lockout.

    Who is the #1 if it isn’t Howard?

    Sateri had a good 8 game stretch for the panthers that kick started their second half push. He wanted a shot to be a #2 so I assume Detroit promised him that

    You can buy the player out, but it doesn’t save cap space. Just actual dollars paid

    Yep.

    Howard has one year left on his deal. I presume he is dealt at some point this season. Of course, he is always hurt so opportunity could come quicker than that.

    Bernier is signing for 3x3, so he’s locked in as more of a 1B than a 2.

    Arthur Staple says Tavares has also rejected the idea of signing a one year deal with any team.

    Tavares would have to be nuts to sign a one year deal.

    If Tavares wants seven years at big money, it has to be the Sharks, no?

    Dallas could pull it off as well, but with Seguin now eligible for an extension I am not sure you want two guys making 10+ mil.

    Sounds more like tavares is Toronto or SJ and karlsson is Vegas and Tampa at this point. Rarely do two players with that much talent change teams so it will be interesting to see how it shapes up.

    no that is still bad. Mcdonough is really good and green is trash. Mcdonough is not going to be good at 35 though let alone 37. Hopefully the deal doesnt have a full NMC but I have a feeling it does.

    Clown contract

    Feel for the Islanders but they had years to prepare and they dropped the ball.

    Time to turn your attention to trading for karlsson.
