Around the League: Transactions

I know. I never hated him. In fact Id love him on this team. (maybe more prior to the Iginla trade)

[shafnutz05]

Yeah, there've basically been exclusively glowing reviews of Jagr as a teammate since his return to the NHL. He's not a cancer. Sigh, I can't believe I get so bothered by the Jagr hate every time he gets talked about. Just can't conceive of hating Jagr.

I agree. The cancer stuff may have been relevant 10 years ago, but it isn't now.

[Fire0nice228]

I hate Jagr but the 'cancer in the room' ship has sailed... all indications since his return to the NHL have been positive. He contributes on the boxscore, teaches young players how to work hard and be a pro, and it seems all he wants to do is play hockey. Said he did very little touring of Philly and probably even less of Dallas (because its dallas..lol).

[mac5155]

So who would you rather have, Reghr who went for 2 seconds, or Murray?

[Beveridge]

I'd say Murray is a better fit for this team if that answer is acceptable. I would say Reghr is better, but I think Murray is something we needed more. Kind of like Sutter is a better fit than Staal despite Staal having more talent.

Well he is a Cowboy's fan

Wonder how much money he lost on the Cowboys this season...

[MRandall25]

You can tell Blue Jackets fans have never really been in a position to be buyers at the deadline...

"@SomeGuy: @Aportzline wouldn't Philly basically give us Jody Shelley? He hasn't been playing for them"

doesn't really cover it. If you're buying, you're not buying wastes like Jody Shelley, who also happens to be out for the year.

EDIT:

"@SomeOtherGuy: @Aportzline Why (are they adding)? They need to be sellers"

Clowe to the Rangers for a 2nd, a 3rd and a conditional 2nd based on if he re-signs or they win two playoff rounds

[mikey287]

2nd (NYR), 3rd (FLA) and a conditional 2nd.

[MRandall25]

Clowe to the Rangers for a 2nd and a conditional 3rd I believe

It's a 2nd, 3rd, and conditional 2nd on re-signing or winning 2 playoff series.

All signs point to him being re-signed, so 3 picks for Clowe.

[canaan]

Ha. I was updating as you guys beat me to it

[brwi]

Clowe to the Rangers for a 2nd and a conditional 3rd I believe

His zero goals this year is really going to boost their impotent offense.

[MRandall25]

Jamie McBain being held out of the lineup for the Canes.

[DelPen]

Rags should send Nash to Columbus for Anisimov and Dubinsky

[columbia]

I'm see the Rangers changed their mind and re-acquired Mike Rupp.

[brwi]

Marc Andre Bergeron (TBL) to Carolina

for Adam Hall and a 2013 7th

Bizarre return. Sort of. Waiver wire and a throwaway pick. Interesting.

Canes have to be loving this deal.

[brwi]

Jamie McBain being held out of the lineup for the Canes.

Definitely sounds he's being dealt then. Canes have a pretty big game tonight against the Caps.

D-men with some offensive ability that are 25 and a 1.8mil cap hit will draw interest all over the NHL. Not real sure why Carolina is moving him either. He's not that bad in his own end and is priced right. I know they have Faulk coming back this month and just got Bergeron, but I guess McBain scoring into his own net a few nights ago made an impression

[brwi]

Davis Drewiske of LA traded to MTL for a 5th rounder.

[Matthew Monstar]

A lot of teams making moves just to make moves.

Boston acquiring Jagr doesn't give them the offense they need....

New York Rangers, a team that cant score acquires a guy (Clowe) that hasnt really scored all season.


But maybe Jagr sparks Boston, ala his sparking Philly and Giroux.

[JS©]

Flames trade Bouwmeester to St. Louis for a 1st rounder, Mark Cundari, and Reto Berra

[KG]

Figured the Rangers would have to at least deal a legit prospect. All these trades for picks are relatively boring. In this posters humble opinion!

[mac5155]

should Clowe scare me?? it doesnt...

[Guido]

That's a lot for Clowe. He's a good player and there's no guarantee draft picks pan out, but still...

Since Reghr went for practically the same price as Douglas Murray, I'd have to say I'd much rather have Murray. Far more physical and that's exactly what Pittsburgh needed on the back end, in my opinion.

DAL not shopping D Alex Goligoski but some teams are inquiring. Same as Kulikov in FLA. Names are out there but would have to be good return
