The Man Known as Dan Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I see seven teams in the west that should be thinking "guaranteed playoffs" which, of course, means probably six of them make it. But still. On paper it looks like there's a whole bunch of teams fighting over one spot. If I had to guess.... Chicago/St. Louis/San Jose/LA/Anaheim/Minnesota/Colorado?

Charlie M. Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I think they overestimate some of their younger guys but we shall see. It sounds less likely that they'll actually be able to move Thornton because he doesn't want to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man Known as Dan Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Yeah, but I think they want to take a step back and bring in some of their young guys. Be interested to see what either/both Marleau and Jumbo Joe get in trades after the recent big centre trades the past week. So, worst contract so far? Engelland, Bolland, Orpik are certainly up there. Orpik might be worse then Clarkson. He's been awful for 2 years. 1 year for 5.5 would be too much. 5 for 5.5? No words.

sabremike Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Make mine a Moulson! We basically loaned him out for a few months and got a #1 for doing so. Was cynical at first but Tim Murray is proving to be a great hire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Man Known as Dan Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Washington will be paying over 10 mill a season for two Pittsburg defensemen for 5 years. Nothing about that is a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 I know when I think about defensive juggernaut clubs, where I'd like to steal two of their defensemen for roughly $70 million, Pittsburgh was tops on that list. For fuck's sake that's some interesting thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mco543 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 The Panthers signing 37 year old Willie Mitchell for 2 years/8.5M after buying out 38 year old Jovo seems....questionable. Spectacularly disappointing day for Florida. At the end of the day Dale Tallon is a cuddlier version of Mike Keenan who is clinging to his "guys" to the detriment of the franchise. Buffalo is a more legitimate free agent destination and team than the Florida Panthers are right now. Fucking Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 Do they trade Mike Green now? I am really fascinated what his perceived value is among other GM's. I am really not a fan, but he moves the puck and that tends to draw attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jovonovski has been done for years. Although on the surface I see where you're coming from, but the levels of Mitchell and Jovo are miles apart. Edit; Brian Boyle to Tampa for 3 years at $2.3 million per. Really like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
