2017 Off-Season Around the NHL

wprager wrote:$10.5 x 8.  Nice deal for both sides. But they need a center and a PMD.  

He is the best goalie on the planet...but for how long?

$70M of Price's $84M contract is signing bonuses. Lockout protection.

Also, I didn't double check, but someone tweeted that Price, Weber, Alzner and Petry well combine to take 40%of the cap next season.

Bergevin is saying he can't bring back both Markov and Radulov at their asking price. Follows up saying "first come, first served"

Repeating what I just posted in the UFA thread, Marleau to Toronto, 3 years at $6.25M avg.

Diddle, that's a brutal contract for Marleau. Man oh man, what were they thinking?

At least he's a guy who's a proven winner though and knows how hard it is to win a Cup...right?

Now they can move JVR, Bozak or both for D.  Good move for the next 2 years.  It could hurt them a little in year 3.

Montreal is fu**ed moving forward.  Ole Bergy panicked this summer.

Marleau will get most of his money before S3 starts so they'll be able to trade him to Vegas.

He has an NTC

He'll waive.

Caps re-sign Kuznetsov to an 8 year, $62.4M deal.  Wow, that is pretty bad.

yeah. That seems excessive. He's young and will likely be getting better but... yeah. That's a lot

...And then the Devils give away a 26 year old 24 goal scorer who flirted with 60 points last year and had a decent playoffs.

Diddle, I don't understand this league sometimes. You couldn't have done better than a 2nd and 3rd? And it's not even Jersey's 2nd.

I dunno, I really like him. He's a heck of a player, it's not really out of line IMO.

Yeah, I don't mind the Marleau signing for them. He could be one of these vets that plays in the same place forever, signs somewhere else and does nothing, but we'll see...playing with some of the young talent there might work out for him.

Who did the devils give away? You mean the caps?

Yeah. That's a crazy trade. I think we could have offered better.

Yeah, he meant the Caps. This sums it up nicely:

Devils got Palmieri for 2015 2nd & 2016 3rd.
They got Hall for Larsson. They got Johansson for Savard (FLA 2nd) and Lamoriello (TOR 3rd).

Kuznetsov is a 9 year pro, not a guy about to break out. 20 goal scorer, lots of assists playing with Ovechkin, so don't expect another 77 point season anytime soon. His zone starts (60% o-zone) show you what the coach thinks of him. He's an offense first player, sub-50 on faceoffs, won't score 30. But the money and term is what you'd expect for a 30g/70pts player who will help you win the hard games in the playoffs.

Sorry, yeah the caps.
