Non-Penguins Offseason Moves 2014

[Tico Rick]

Normally July 2 is a bit sad for me...but I'm over all this now that Claude got arrested for grabbing a male cop's buttocks.

Definitely the best offseason move out of Ottawa so far this summer.

I'm cool with the Ehrhoff signing instead.

[ville5]

And, Caps brass intend to keep Mike Green!



P.S. Normally July 2 is a bit sad for me...but I'm over all this now that Claude got arrested for grabbing a male cop's buttocks. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Claudia's coming out party? Lol lol. The boys in the Spectrum are gonna have fun with this.

THANK GOD Kulemin signed somewhere! thank you thank you thank you!!!

Gleason returns to the Hurricanes for 1.2mil/1yr. Carolina is always willing to welcome you back and apparently it wasn't just a Rutherford thing.

That's a really good deal for them. Gleason has slowed down some but 1.2mil is peanuts.

THese are LOL. Headcase Grabovski gets 5mil/yr for 4 years? He's a slightly above-average NHLer that barely is top-6 and comes with a lot of baggage. Kulemin hasn't done a damn thing in 4yrs, regardless of how much Malkin likes him.

John Gibon to a new mask

What happened to Dany Heatly? Honestly, he is "only" 33. He does not play a big physical game so it cant be that he is just broken down. He had 2 50 goal seasons plus 3 (basically) 40 goal seasons... and now he is kaput? Did the shoulder injury basically spell his doom?

[mikey287]

He's broken down. He was never a good skater and he's only gotten worse. Injuries have played a role and his body has worn out. He hasn't been effective in a little bit now.

[canaan]

Volchenkov (NSH) 1yr/1mil

[columbia]

At least someone will be able to dish the puck to Neal.

[canaan]

Also, Rynnas (DAL) 2yrs/undisclosed

[mikey287]

Don't get the Volchenkov thing, the wheels have fallen off him for the last couple years now. Surprised he got an NHL deal.

[Idoit40fans]

I wonder if they'd trade him for Scuderi.

Heatley is waiting for the midpoint of the season to sign with the **** all-star team.

Bad jokes aside, I know that he's broken down, slow and basically skating on one leg, but I'm still surprised somebody hasn't thrown a 1 year, $1m deal at him.

[canaan]

Whose to say they haven't?

[columbia]

He sounds like Red Wings material.

[mikey287]

Cory Schneider long term w/NJ...hearing 7 yrs x $6 mil. Sounds like it's getting done now...

[meow]

I'm a big Schneider fan, but $6 mil for any goalie is a bit pricey.

Do you think NHL goalies are going to go the way of NFL running backs? It seems that their value is more or less identical.

Pretty good foundation for a point. Teams are also much more reluctant to rely on one for 90% of the minutes. How many workhorse RBs are in the league? How many 70-72+ game goalies do we see any more?

[Idoit40fans]

Holy crap. Only 3 people started 64 last season. Fleury, Niemi, Lehtonen. Contrary to his rep, Lehtonen played in more games than any other goalie this past season with 65.

[DelPen]

Heatley to ducks. One year, $1 million per dreger
