2013 NHL Off-Season Thread: Bluefan's Own Personal Crying Game!

[Selamis]

NHLN was talking about Chicago using their buyouts towards maybe Olesz and Montador to free up about 5 mill or so.

Oooh yeah....Steve Montador. Forget he was even part of the team lol. 100% serious. He got hurt, got replaced, and hasn't played since I don't think.

Also, for Auntie in particular, but everyone else that cares:

Parade on NHLN, CSN in Chicago.

[quote]The Pittsburgh Penguins have agreed to terms with forward Chris Kunitz on a three-year contract extension, it was announced today by executive vice president and general manager Ray Shero.

The deal begins with the 2014-15 season and runs through the 2016-17 campaign, and has an average annual value of $3.85 million.

Looks like Kunitz' deal is almost done. 3 year deal, a bit under 4 mil/year cap hit. Pretty solid. Gonna make the Clarkson deal look even more stupid.

Just learn that the Lightning will buy out Vincent Lecavalier contract. #RDS

Um, if true, best UFA on the market, yes? holy moly.

EDIT: lol @ Bozak.

Just confirmed like 1 min after your post

[Glowstickthetaru]

awesome :D I'm really hoping for an epic shit show w/ buyouts and hopefully some GMs offer sheeting cap teams to fuck with them. It could be so much fun....

[bluefan]

THROW THE MONEY AT LECAVALIER CHEVY!

[Glowstickthetaru]

Also, still think Bobby Lu can be traded?

[Callisto]

Mann idk if Tampa even has the cash to be doing this.

[Brill Weave]

The buyouts are definitely going to make things interesting.

[Cail]

Lecav to the Caps. Do it

[Brill Weave]

McKenzie reporting the Penguins have made a "substantial" offer to Letang. I expect if he rejects it he will be gone by Sunday just like Staal.

I completely forgot that they were on the books at the NHL level because of the new rules on burying people in the minors. I still don't think they can keep Bickell and Emery, but this should at least take care of their RFAs and hopefully get another center since I'm under the impression that Handzus might retire.

[Izzy]

I'll fucking take Montador back. Better than 1/2 of the shit defensemen we have now.

[Brill Weave]

Izzy. So angry lol.
