Final trade is ...
To STL: 2017 1st, conditional pick (see above), Sanford, Malone
To WSH: Shattenkirk (39% retained), Copley

word is that this year draft sucks ass. therefore, GMs arnt valuing picks as much

I'm still surprised that Benning has traded for so many Europeans. You would think he would build the team on nothing but meat and potatoes.

2nd round for Baerstchi
Hunter for Granlund
Burrows for Dahlen

All 6' and under guys too.

You would think benning would look for bigger grittier guys.

I'm not surprised since the game is moving towards being more quicker and less gritty. Look how Baer and Granlund payed out so far which every Canuck fan is more then happy about.

I'm really glad that STL was able to save that 1% of retaining salary. It'll come in handy during UFA season.

Word is CBJ feels the same way and is giving the Nucks, their second round pick this season as compensation for Torts.

Damn, just checked and Dumb and Dumber is giving out the wrong info as usual.
Pierre LeBrun just reminding people that the Nucks still have a second round pick coming, either this season or next.

Interesting. According to Frank Seravalli, Sens are still short 1 forward to expose at the expansion draft, after Burr's signing. His NTC doesn't apply with the contract extension.
Hmmm....

Benning mentioned on News1130 radio this morning that he's received trade offers for Miller.

-hoping to see Hansen not play in the Detroit game tonight. That would be a sign that JB has a trade in play for Honey Badger. :considered:

From what I gathered, Sharks are pretty much the only other team that are somewhat keen on a competitive backup.

Since Benning and co are high on Miller, and Markstrom is DTD, I just can't see a trade ever happening. No one will offer anything better than what Tampa got for Bishop and I think that's the neighborhood Benning will be looking at.

Hansen trade if it ever happens will probably be a last minute deal at the deadline.

if they do trade miller they will ride bachman and markstrom till end of season I guess once markstrom is back from injury

Not sure why SJ would want Miller, Dell has been pretty good as the backup when called upon. If Calgary, I can see Johnson coming back in a package, Canucks can finish the year out with Markstrom/Johnson combo.

Gryba lol

Wishing Burrows all the best. It would be awesome to see him hoist the cup, 'cause it would never happen in Vancouver. With him gone, there is no reason to even follow the VanHoover Cannots. Watching a Sedin giving excuses night after night is not my cup of tea.

same logic as LA
Budaj was a good back up and put up decent numbers as a starter in Quick's absence

i seriously doubt Miller would waive to go to Calgary

Teams who are wanting starters as back ups is for the insurance if anything happens to their starting goalies they have and experienced 1b to take over. If teams that have a legitimate chance at making a long cup run do these trade just for the insurance. Edmonton should be doing the same thing with a rookie back up. If Talbot, Jones, Quick ect go down to teams really have faith in their back up boarder line NHL goaltenders? I would honestly think not.

Calgary and sj mulling over miller

Alberta teams not on Millers trade list

so? can still ask him if a deal comes up. wouldn't be the first time that's happened to a player

Im guessing its either ducks or sharks but nothing else...

Carolina got a 3rd round pick for Viktor fucking Stalberg


Canucks should get a 5th-7th for their plugs.

Skille, Chaput, Megna, Larsen. Sell sell sell!

Considering the #1 ranked player for this years draft Nolan Patrick would have been ranked around 6 or 7th in last years draft had he made it (he missed it by 4 days due to age) then you know it sounds weak, mind you this last year was a strong class but still Nolan depending on who you ask is said to be a solid 2nd line player only.

Nolan Patrick and nico hischer are #1 and #2 consensus in the draft

What?!?!?!

*goes off to check tradetracker........

damn.....

sounds like Maxim Shalunov is going to be joining the hawks for the playoffs. free top 9 player lol

24year old highly touted black hawks prospect. 37pts in 49 games in khl

blackhawks and kings have inquired and apparently made offers for chara

If blues traded Shattenkirk and Kings got Bishop does that mean Blues are not trying for the playoffs anymore?


Subban for Yakupov? :D

dude, Megna has more goals than Yakupov. I know he played 10 more games than Yak but Jayson Megna.
