2014-15 Non-Pens Transactions

[mikey287]

Dave Nonis, Leafs GM, stayed over in Nashville after a recent game and was chatting with Poile...they have had a lot of high-ranking personnel in Manchester recently as well...that's the Kings farm team...I wonder if we don't see some kind of Mike Richards/Dion Phaneuf swap. Probably comes with an LA prospect...like Jordan Weal or some such...tough to really pin it down, because it's tough to envision what either player is worth...

[Pavel Bure]

Nashville acquires: Cody Franson and Mike Santorelli
Toronto acquires: Olli Jokinen, Brendan Leipsic and a 2015 1st...

My gut leans toward Toronto winning that solely in the first round selection they picked up. I haven't seen a ton of Fransen so I dunno.

[mikey287]

No, you're right, it's a pretty good deal for Toronto. I looked at it this way...you get a 2nd for Franson and a 2nd for Santorelli (or a B-/C prospect and a 3rd maybe)...or you get a 1st and B-/C prospect for the lot and if OJ has positive value, you get whatever that is too...but I'm not positive there's a lot of positive value in OJ...

Franson is not that good of a player...not a particularly good skater, not good defensively...good wrist shot, but overall kind of a sleepy player...reminds me a bit of Joe Corvo from some years ago...not a player I'd acquire if I was trying to make a push...especially if I'm Nashville, unless Ryan Ellis isn't coming back any time soon, those players are fairly similar...

Stalberg (NASH) & Carkner (NYI) on waivers

[Jim]

Stalberg's salary is too high for what he brings to the ice. Carkner seems to be more of a penalty taker than anything... also not really what we would want.

[mikey287]

Carkner is one of the worst players in the league...human garbage...

Carkner is one of the worst players in the league...human garbage...

From what I've seen, he's also not a very good human. Can't imagine anyone will want him.

[Idoit40fans]

Was Carkner that guy that played both forward and defense badly?

Marc Methot re-signs with Ottawa for 4 years, 4.9 mill per.

One wonders about the deal Martin will get (wherever that happens).

My guess will be 4 years, 20 mill with Min or LA.

If Orpik can get 5.5, Martin can get that or more.

[Mr. Colby]

Martin could get 5 years 30 million pretty easily

[Factorial]

How much will Ehrhoff be offered?

It seems that Methot left a lot of cash on the table. He's only 29 and would seem to have a higher ufa value than an Orpik, Niskanen or even a 34 year old Martin.

That's a nice contract for the Sens.

Someone's going to And if they found someone for their 4th line who wants to stay there (both city wise and for the cluster**** of a team), get it done!

Jiri Sekac traded to Anaheim for Devante Smith-Pelly...

[meow]

Jiri Sekac traded to Anaheim...

Smith-Pelly going the other way

[mikey287]

Potential third liner there in DSP going the other way...Sekac, very skilled, but maybe not a match for FHCMT's lineup necessarily...higher upside than DSP, who seems to be more of a grinder type...adds some toughness to the Montreal lineup in case they don't want to ride young Jacob de la Rose too early...

[meow]

This move seems like Bergevin listening to Therrien very closely. Sounds like they are on the same page.
