Starsfan posted:I see that Florida picked up Rudolfs Balcers who San Jose cut for... no particular reason at all. That's kind of an interesting dynamic when the Stanley cup contender team is signing the dude that the bottom 5 club cut from their roster.. Balcers is a decent player, but the dude cannot finish to save his life. I figure Grier got rid of him to free up more cap space, although from what I recall, Balcers didn't have a huge contract. Maybe he's trying to change the dynamic of the team to be a bunch of 3rd line grinders like he was. Weird move, but maybe he finds his game in Florida.

St. Dogbert posted:The Flames are about to be a non-factor for at least the next five years (if we’re lucky), have a majority owner with no ties to the city or country anymore, and have a decrepit arena with no replacement in sight. Once other good players start leaving and fan support starts dwindling, I wouldn’t be shocked to start hearing rumblings about Houston or Kansas City. Don't worry, Markstrom will drag the team to mediocrity and the Flames will just miss the playoffs year after year. This will be taken as a sign that "the core is totally good enough" and management won't consider a re-build until everybody gets fired.

St. Louis has to resign almost all of their forward next year. They could easily afford Perron this year, but that contact is unworkable past this year.

The Gaudreau press event gave us a glimpse on how those jersey ads are probably going to look next season. This Safelite one seems fine to me, and I hope the others are as reasonable too.

Except when he wasn't playing well where he would disappear into a black hole on the bench.

Levitate posted:Rangers signed Ryan Carpenter to a league min 1 year deal Is he loving terrible? I saw some fancy charts on twitter that basically said he's loving terrible at creating or driving any offense, but he's good at stifling the opponent's offense. One of those "when he's on the ice, nothing happens, for either team" type players. Which...I guess he's replacing Rooney who was a PK specialist, so that's good?

He drops to 8th in Toi/gp but that's pretty much down to him not playing pk and there was no overlap between Lehkonen and Landeskog being in the lineup

Bunch of rumours today linking the Sens to Klingberg. He's the only worthwhile free agent RD on the market, buuuuut I really don't see why he's even being considered by Ottawa. The top 4 this year will have Chabot and Sanderson on the left, and Zub and ??? on the right. I can't see Klingberg's offense-first, no-defense style meshing with Chabot, who is one of the most free-ranging rover-style defencemen in the NHL, and I don't think it's fair to saddle rookie Sanderson with the job of trying to clean up after Klingberg. He's an A+ level prospect, but he's still a prospect.
