2016 NHL Off-season Thread: NHL 17 Rates Weber Higher Than Subban, HABS WIN, Nynja still loses

Strombo is fucking awesome. I'm actually pretty annoyed they dumped him after only 1 year.

Flames trade Sieloff to Ottawa for Chiasson. A decent trade, depth at right wing for a fringe dman who could eventually be a top 6 or maybe a top 4 dman.

2 years

He's Canada's boyfriend you disrepectful Québécois fuck!!!

Also, Sportsnet dumped Corey Hirsch which should be celebrated. Now that guy was terrible

Corey Hirsch I didn't mind. Kinda bummed he's gone. Healy is gone though and I might pop champagne in honour of that tonight.

[Vaspinne]

Is there a complete list of all the people they dumped and promoted? I didn't know about Healy lol

PJ Stock gone too which I'm fine with. Leah Hextall was pretty good on her Flames broadcasts so that's a bit of a shame. She was more a host than a contributor/analyst though so I can see why the decision was made

Hoping they give him another shot whenever Ron MacLean retires. I thought he was great. They used him as a scapegoat for bad ratings. At least we got rid of Healy. Maybe now we can have more Mike Johnson.

[Thoronas]

Strombo was misused. He's an excellent interviewer. He should not be "leading" discussion with Friedman, Kypreos and whatever talking head they get to replace PJ Stock. Sportsnet paid way too much for hockey, theyre losing a fuck ton and are trying to trim wherever they can.

[vagus]

pj stock has no business being a commentator. A goon with a mic.

I like Strombo, but he just didn't have enough hockey knowledge to be the lead. If it wasn't McLain, next and possible best is James Duthie.

Healys gone thank fucking god
I wont have to mute everything anymore

Shaw Signed 6 years with the habs

Even more of a reason to hate the habs now!

Ugh
Fuckin terrible

So we "free up cap space" by trading 3.5m AAV Eller (and his 22 5v5 points in 2016 playing with scrubs) then trade for Shaw and sign him at 3.9m AAV (and his 22 5v5 pts playing with Toews and Hossa)

Massive fucking fail

He's also a homophobic bigot, so there's that.

Canucks fined 50k for Tampering

Jim Benning fined $50k for being a dummy

[NynJa]

Ironically the last time a fine was imposed for such a thing, it was the Canucks who filed a complaint, but it was against Toronto.

Supposedly Lucic is ready to sign with Edmonton on July 1st, according to a source from Roger Millions

[synistar]

And according to this Bruins beat writer, the reports are "bullshit" https://twitter.com/DJ_Bean/status/747908101429395458

[Vaspinne]

Well, it is Roger Millions retweeting it on twitter lol

I'm glad we got rid of him. He showed his ass in the playoffs and I didn't want somebody like that on the team anymore.

How the fuck is Matt Martin gonna ask for $4m/year, shit is crazy
