Around the League: Transactions

Buyout waivers: Ballard (VAN), Gilbert (MIN), Gerbe (BUF) Colaiacovo (DET).

Hall Gill cleared waivers. Sergei Kostitsyn and Nashville may have mutually terminated his contract, as opposed to a buyout (but he is on unconditional waivers as of now)

Patrik Elias, 3 yrs. 5.5M AAV

I know he's still productive but damn...where is Dupuis so I can kiss his feet?

The Flyers are close to extending Claude Giroux for something close to 8 years, $8.3mil per according to Dreger and LeBrun.

In other words, LOLOLOLOL.

No idea how they'll afford that.

I wish it were closer to 9.

Huge trade in the works. Boston and Dallas close on a deal sending Tyler Seguin to Stars for Loui Eriksson. Other parts involved as well.

[KG]

Just coming in to post this....Surprised Boston is going to move Seguin...

8.7 for Crosby and 9.5 for Malkin isn't looking too bad now. Hell, 7.25 for Letang looks okay too.

[KG]

By dealing Seguin now, Boston would be dealing him before the contract he signed (pre lockout) would kick in. 5 years $27.5Mill...

That's why Letang wanted some reassurance that the Pens wouldn't deal him after this year....

[brwi]

and world-class superstar David Clarkston who has no idea what lies behind the other side of center ice wants 6 years @6mil/yr. Get real.

Pens' contracts look awesome in every way by comparison.

Loui Ericksson > Seguin

What is Dallas doing? I guess getting a center....

Hearing DAL-BOS is a 5-player deal.

Loui Ericksson > Seguin

probably extra parts involved. But 5 players...that will be a pretty big shake up.

Eh, a little early to make that call. Loui is what he is; Seguin has a good bit of upside still.

[mikey287]

Peverley is one of those five I believe. Dallas has a pick or a prospect in there...could be someone like Glennie or Fraser...

[KG]

Seguin is only 21 and signed long term. Eriksson is a great two way player, but he is 7 years older.

Depending on the entire deal. I like Dallas getting Seguin. Surprised Boston would deal him already.

[mikey287]

Seguin has some, ahem, issues...still a young kid, immature...he also another physical issue that Boston has been kept under wraps a little bit...

He's been called out in the Boston media by the GM as not being "professional" enough. I don't think the Boston organization downward to the HC have a lot of faith in the guy. Maybe time for a change of scenery for both.

As a Fraser Owner, I would love that. Boston seems to be able to get a lot out of bigger physical wingers.

The clap?

Joe Morrow believed to be one of the players going to Boston.

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie 3s
Joe Morrow is believed to be one of the pieces going from DAL to BOS. Also, perhaps Reilly Smith and Matt Fraser. Looking for confirmation.

[Beveridge]

Good for him and possibly bad for us.

Getting traded twice before you even played a single game in the NHL can't be much fun.

[Pavel Bure]

Can't believe they're moving Eriksson. Is Benn next? Lol

[Gaucho]

Well, Seguin is ~7 years younger than Eriksson.
