[NynJa]

Need scoring, already overstocked on D...draft D, disagree with this move.

The @AnaheimDucks trade Kyle Palmieri to the @NHLDevils for the 41st pick and 2016 3rd round pick. #NHLDraft

:/

LOL - julien's comment on Hamilton:

[Richybear]

Pretty hyped for the obvious, and then getting Griffin Reinhart is a nice pick-up.
Was late getting home from work, so I never got in until right around Provorov.

[bluefan]

Don't know too much about the Jets picks, but the US development program is where we got Trouba from so I'm trusting the judgement. The theater where the draft party was this year was nice, much better than the theater on main street a few blocks over.

Hey, he is an elite player though, he only finished with one less playoff goal than Pleks this year

Plek doesnt make 8m though...he makes 5 (or 5.5, somewhere there)

Heres who makes 7.5-8.5m:
Henrik Lundqvist (2014-2020) G NYR 33 7 $59,500,000 $8,500,000 2021
Claude Giroux (2014-2021) C PHI 27 8 $66,200,000 $8,275,000 2022
Ryan Getzlaf (2013-2020) C ANA 30 8 $66,000,000 $8,250,000 2021
Eric Staal (2009-2015) LW CAR 30 7 $57,750,000 $8,250,000 2016

Zach Parise (2012-2024) LW MIN 30 13 $98,000,000 $7,538,462 2025
Ryan Suter (2012-2024) D MIN 30 13 $98,000,000 $7,538,462 2025
Steven Stamkos (2011-2015) C TBL 25 5 $37,500,000 $7,500,000 2016
Jason Spezza (2015-2018) C DAL 32 4 $30,000,000 $7,500,000 2019
Pavel Datsyuk (2014-2016) C DET 36 3 $22,500,000 $7,500,000 2017

Does ROR really think he belongs in that company? He's lucky he got an offersheet by the Flames, cause he's not even worth the 6m he was paid imo. Well he probably is worth the 6 now, but he thinks cause he was worth 6 2 years ago, he deserves a raise.

This is a giant problem for me. Hopefully after a year with Buffalo he will realize his real value.

Or we trade his rights off for something else at the end of next season.

He saw what Bozak is being paid and thought "well shit, I'm at least 1.6 times better than that guy."

[Obsidian]

I don't even want to know what kind of clusterfuck a trade with the Kings would look like.

[Vaspinne]

Edmonton 16 and 33 to islanders for griffin reinheart(sp)

Whaaaaaaaaaat?!?! Did not see this trade until just now. Gonna make the Battle of Alberta a little more feisty now with a Reinheart brother on either team :D

Only thing i can think of is trying to dump Richards on the leafs.

[Ishido]

Interesting stuff going on!

Like the Wings' pick at 19. Skilled Russian with some size who wants to play in the NHL.
Could possibly be a complimentary player to Larkin, or perhaps a center since he played it a bit this past season.

Lots of other fun trades, Calgary looks like it could be pretty legit if they can sign their defense at a reasonable number.
Seems like an interesting offseason.

[Brill Weave]

What time does the second round start? And is it going to be televised? I'm assuming not.
