2015 NHL off-season thread

[catters078]

A couple of good additions by pittsburgh today. Bonino by trade and eric fehr signed.

Gotta like pittsburghs off season so far

 

[scottyjc]

Bonino for Sutter would have been fair (arguably) - to get an extra player and pick upgrade - Win for the Pens

im not high on Bonino, but a pretty nonsensical trade (again) from Benning. Given Bonino's cap hit, he just about wins Bonino v Sutter anyway, and then we've throw in some bonus goodies to boost. And they approached us!

You don't say!

Jim Rutherford is hilarious. Brandon Sutter is one of his "favorite guys" yet he's traded him twice in three seasons. How does that work?

 

[Great8]

MoJo re-signs at the Caps for another year. $3.75m

 

[Toffee Lion]

So just had a look at the 15/16 schedule since I'll be in LA next January.

And I get to see the Ducks v Kings as a big Ducks fan, so excited!

First ever NHL game live.

What a borefest!

43 years later and Canada are still putting pucks past a Tretiak. Vladislav's grandson Maxim now. Canada's junior team won 4-1.

Canada's forwards:
Dal Colle-Fabbri-Merkley
Crouse-Strome-Marner
Gauthier-McCann-Watson
Stephens-Quenneville-Ho-Sang

That second line has some potential.

Jim Benning!!!!

give me a day or two and i'll speak on this.

Max Pacioretty will be paid $125k more than Brandon Sutter in 2015/16.

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

Given Travis Zajac is probably unlikely to hit 40 points again, i think he has a worse contract than Sutter

Signed until 2021, as well.

Zajac making $1.25M more per season than Pacioretty.

Max signed at $4.5M per season until 2019 has to be the best bargain in the league.

Sutter is nowhere near the worst contract on our team. It's not a terrible, terrible contract. But it's bad and it's probably based on wrong thought processes (he hasn't reached his peak yet!!!). And after all the other wrong decisions....

Anyway, today we also hired this guy

this was many years ago and he's worked with other NHL teams since, but still

Dunno... Tyler Seguin's 5.75m per year is pretty bargain basement for his numbers. As is Tavares and his 5.5m

 

[PalaceGun]

Yep, they are good ones, they'd probably be 1, 2 & 3.

Only three players have scored more goals than Pacioretty over the last three seasons:
Ovechkin (136), Stamkos (97) and Pavelski (94). Pacioretty has 91 goals.
Note: Pavelski has played 15 more games than Pacioretty during that time period.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Pavelski is on 6m a season, but is a terrific two way centre and penalty killer.

 

[PalaceGun]

Pacioretty an elite penalty killer as well.

The top vote getter for wingers in the Selke for '14/15 (6th overall).

Patrick Kane in potential hot water.....

[Hawks1523]

Why is he not suspended like voynov when he was under investigation?

 

[Kakkle]

Waiting for more to unfold I'd suspect.

 

[PalaceGun]

Why is he not suspended like voynov when he was under investigation?

Voynov was suspended by the NHL after he was arrested.

Los Angeles Kings defenseman Slava Voynov has been suspended indefinitely from all club activities pending a formal investigation by the National Hockey League of an arrest this morning on charges of domestic violence.

Ah my bad. For some reason I thought he was suspended while just under investigation, rather than after arrest. Makes sense then!

Chicago Blackhawks prospect Ivan Nalimov between the pipes here in the KHL:

I find it very hard to believe Raanta of all people would say this, taken out of context maybe?
