Hurray, the off-season thread.

[Callisto]

I'm all for keeping the Coyotes in Phoenix, but fuck the city of Glendale. They need to move the team back to Phoenix proper and not out in the middle of nowhere so people will actually go to games.

^

This, I also recall something about them investing in shuttle services between Phoenix proper and the arena since driving home a billion miles after having a few bets at the game is a legitimate concern for people.

[bluefan]

Eh, rather see the team in Seattle so my friends there can finally go to some NHL games.

So if the coyotes do end up going to Seattle, thoughts on what the team name would be? Maybe bring back "metropolitans"

[bluefan]

They seem to use a lot of animal names for their teams.

So I say keeping in with the tradition....SEAGULLS!

I'm torn. "Metropolitains" has history. On the other hand...and I say this as a supporter of the NY Mets...There's the NY Mets, and nobody would willingly associate themselves with that kind of disappointment.

I'd go with Breakers.

Next season is already written guys don't you know. Canucks and Rangers switch coaches both make SCF on 20 year anniversary of rangers winning the cup. Canucks sweep rangers in revenge for 94.

Note from Mr. McKenzie:
Players to be bought out must first clear waivers.
Buyout period ends 5 p.m. ET on July 4, so noon on July 3 is last time player can go on waivers for buyout.

[Judai]

look it's not my fault GMGM didn't pull a buyout trigger yet

He's going to buy out PLAYOFF HERO JOEL WARD, to sign Playoff Hero White Joel Ward.

[KoalaTrap]

Wonder how many teams will use their buyouts? I hope for chaos.

Apparently, BOS isn't going to be buying out any of their players. lol

Jagr will not be returning to the Bruins

[Deader2818]

Take a look at cap geek and anyone near cap with a lot of contracts to sign are good choices for buy outs.

Example, Canucks have 47k in cap space with only 17 players signed. Booth and Ballard are good targets for a buy out.

Jagr will not be returning to the Bruins

Is this actual news or just a speculation?

[bori]

Never mind, found the news, that was quick.

#Bruins Ference, Jagr, Pandolfo will not be re-signed, per Chiarelli. Redden remains possible signee.
