Wow, I actually feel bad for Calgary. They looked like a solid team for the near future, now Tkachuk wants out too. I can’t remember a team losing two 100pt guys in the same offseason.
Can you imagine if Mangiapane wanted out too? Crazy.

He definitely wants to stay. I think he sees a big opportunity for himself now, top line and PP1 time.

At least we still have Lindholm? Guy is chronically underappreciated, Selke runner up who also scored 40+ goals and he's on a very team friendly deal

How about that Tkatchuk trade? Feels like the Panthers paid the big buck for him (Huberdeau, Weegar, 2025 1st rnd pick and a prospect), guess its more of a long term move as Hubs is a little bit older but Weegar is also a pretty good player, might hurt the d-line sooner than later. And they are running out of 1st draft pick to trade

Not sure that Florida is better after that trade, Calgary get something to save this year but seeing how neither Gaudreau and Tkatchuk refuses to sign their new contract, it might pause this year's problem to the next

Tkachuk for Huberdeau!? Crazy on its own but Weegar, a prospect and a first round pick too. Insane deal.

Hubey and Weegar are both Canadian boys so maybe they'll resign. We've got 9.3 mil in cap space left with Lucic and Monahan (who is now the highest paid Flame) coming off the books next year.

This also gives us a big logjam on left D... I expect someone is moving out. Kylington would be my guess

Don't make me have to hate Weegar for donning a Habs jersey

FLA trades a silky playmaker for a gritty/physical one, to include Weegar and the extras is the upgrade fee or market sweetener. They may also have felt that Huberdeau being UFA next year would not resign, considering the Quebec native has said he would like to play for the Habs and we will have almost 14m coming off the books (Drouin, Byron and Dadonov).

CGY more or less replaces the loss of Gaudreau and get a (good?) defenceman.

FLA probably overpaid, likely for the risk of CGY losing Huberdeau in a year, but I think both teams adressed differing situations/needs reasonably well.

my guess is Calgary isn't going to repeat the same mistake, if Huberdeau or Weegar haven't resigned by the trade deadline they're gone..

That trade seems to make more sense for Calgary than Florida. Unless there was some indication that Huberdeau wasn’t going to stay next year. I guess the upside for Florida is they are getting back a guy that is 5 years younger.

So with Heinen resigned the Pens are 99% the same team as last year with an upgraded defense... could be interesting. The only guys not resigned are Boyle and Rodrigues.

Either you will be right or your Pens D corp rants are about to get Steve Dangle level good :cheers:

Klingberg signing for 1yx7m in Anaheim is very illustrative of the cap situation around the league and the market as a whole :ugh:

Reports said Klingberg wanted a lot more from Dallas than he ultimately got in UFA, and Dallas also offered him more than he got, just didn't offer him the term he wanted. His agent really screwed up, not surprised he fired his agent.

Oh and this is pretty rough too

Not only was the MTL/VGL trade brilliant and has aged like fine wine, but also perfect timing in respect to what looks to have been the peak of his production/career. Unfortunate that he can't stay healthy.

I couldn't help but laugh when I recently saw on the front page of NHL.com a season preview article on Carolina with the subtext/hook "overcoming Pacioretty injury" as if they didn't just get him for literally nothing :ugh: :lol:

Would be nice if some of these NYI 4-6 trades lined up would materialize already... Lou, get off the loo!

Yeah lot of stuff seems to be in limbo lately...

As for Carolina I think it's more they didn't sign a couple of guys they would have kept because they were getting Pacioretty and now he's out so they have a significant hole in their lineup

Seems like time to start the 2022-2023 thread...
