2013 Off-Season Thread — Trades, Free Agent Signings & More

[Mr.Baller]

hahaha less of pussies LOL
 
na but seriously i'm pretty happy with the draft as well , I'm loving our prospect pool ! One prospect that I'm looking foward to is our last years 2nd rounder Sebastian Collberg , people were comparing him to Alfy !
 
And your right about BUF
 
I didn't like the sens job tonight at the draft beside Lazar

 

[snipezo]

Winners of the draft:
 
Canadiens, Canucks, and Predators
 
Losers:
Flames, Oilers, and Canucks

good point

 

[The Guid]

Is Fucale considered a steal? He went around where he should have, and the only team that should have picked him and passed was Calgary. At this point, though, we shouldn't be surprised with Calgary's ineptness haha
 
Still a great pick.

 

[Phil The Thrill]

good point

Getting Horvat and Shinkaruk was huge.

You didn't get enough for Schnieder.

Sorry I wasn't around for the draft discussion, fellas. No internet for a bit yesterday. Buffalo absolutely raped this draft. We got 6 of the Top 75ish prospects, IMO. Zadorov is an absolute savage. Blue line is gonna be nice.
 
I also liked the Canucks draft. Bo Horvat is gonna be a monster in the league. 
 
On a side note, I was kinda hoping the Sabres would grab Fucale. I'm not excited at all about Enroth being our starter and I'm not very keen on any of the goalies in our system right now.

Well anytime you get a 'franchise type of goalie' at the spot we got him , it should be consider as a steal ...
Many team didn't pick him like CGY for example , they needed a goalie and would regret it in the future if Fucale becomes what we expect him to become !

Without any doubt the Sabres killed it yesterday man ! Their D is going to be mad crazy ... but from what I remember Myers hasn't been the same productive dman so hopefully he could bounce back

 

[Mr.Baller]

Rumors :
The Oilers called the Penguins to see if they were interested in trading Marc-Andre Fleury and the sense is that he isn’t going anywhere.

The Penguins will likely let Pascal Dupuis go to free agency. They could also move James Neal, who would interest the Senators.

 

[Phil The Thrill]

The Pens grabbed a goalie in the second round who could be pretty decent. They'll probably wait for him to develop.

Yeah, Myers fell off a shit ton. I don't even really like the kid anymore. His work ethic is poor and he's very injury prone. I just don't understand how you go from winning the Calder to playing like absolute shit. If there is still a market for him I'd consider moving him.

Exactly why I said good point. How do you go from asking a ransom for Schneids to taking just a 9th overall? Definitely could have gotten more, too bad Gillis is an incompetent GM.

I thought you were being sarcastic lol.

 

[Fuhgeddaboudit]

I wouldn't doubt if the whole Schneider thing was all Torts. 

 

[Phil The Thrill]

Depietro will be bought out.
 
Dude played awful in the AHL, but someone will still take a gamble.

 

[The Guid]

Bozak contract talks expected to resume today with Leafs. Proposal on the table believed to be 8 years at less than $5 mil per.

Yikes

 

[Phil The Thrill]

Came here to post that. He's done. No team will give him it. Maybe Jay Feaster.
 
Sucks, I'll love Bozak, but he should be making $3 million tops.

 

[Mr.Baller]

Vinny is going to be a flyer

 

[The Guid]

Dreger says Bruins/Stars have a deal in place involving Seguin, Eriksson and more.
 
Dang

 

[Phil The Thrill]

Lmfao

 

[Phil The Thrill]

We'll, we bought out Grabo.

Kinda sad. He really grew on me.
