CHI traded Saad because he was looking for 6 yrs with AAV of $6.5M. May have been an offer sheet coming tomorrow from a team with those #s.

App just updated me saying Saad was gone. This makes me saad.

[BadKarma]

Thats what happens when you want elite return w/o bargaining room for a good/average player.

You get fucked elsewhere.

AB is in its own recession now

in Calgary maybe...
We're fine so far up here tbh

[Richybear]

and LOL @ 6yrs, $40m (give or take) for Saad.
Well, he can enjoy his Cups from Chicago, since he's not gonna win shit in LOLumbus.

[Palin]

It's amazing how many RFAs are getting moved before their big payday this year. Offer sheets finally a real threat? Product of the weak UFA class? Either way its awesome.

Nope, be lucky to even see the playoffs again in the next six years.

Nucks traded bieska to the ducks for a 2016 2nd round

Kesler and Bieksa reunited. The douche level in Anaheim just skyrocketed

[Vaspinne]

That being said, what is Vancouver/Benning actually trying to accomplish? Doesn't seem like a rebuild. Can't help but wonder if they're gonna try to go all out tomorrow or if they're just planning on letting a few prospects make a leap next year and fill in the empty spots

[Richybear]

what can you really go all-out on tomorrow?
Unless it's offer-sheet frenzy, the UFAs tomorrow may as well be Mazmaz and Ninjalotter

[Vaspinne]

Exactly! That just adds to my confusion as to what Vancouver is trying to do. They don't necessarily have a plethora of high-end prospects either.

Hawks said they traded Saad because they were scared of an Hostile offer

[Palin]

What a bullshit reason to terminate the contract. Definitely not strong enough to warrant that. Kings are reaching and are going to get creamed in court.

[Mythe_Seraph]

I don't get how that makes sense at all. Saad seemed really happy in Chicago. I'm sure he and his agents had talks about what he would be willing to take to stay and what he would consider to leave... Crazy how that didn't really work out very well. There goes some of the best speed plays.

I think they're truly banking on teravainen.

[Vaspinne]

Wait, so Richards was... questioned going over the border about having a prescription drug in his possession, but with no actual charges filed against him. And that warranted his contract being terminated?

What did the Kings do to Stoll after his cocaine bust?

[BadKarma]

Kings scumbagging hard because they dont want to pay that contract.

I hope they get fucked super hard by the cap and by Richard's suit

Stoll was UFA as far as I know, so it was like "Guess we just won't re-sign him." type thing.

Also, we don't have any Flyers fans at all do we? Abraxas back in 1937 doesn't count.
I could be like 1/24 Flyer fan this year since Hextall said they're gonna keep Gagner for the year
