Tman! We should have a thread where we can post links or twitter feeds! That way there is a place where theyre all together for other posters to visit I've thought about that, but think of how many there would be. There would be a mish-mash of subjects in there that would be quite the navigational feat getting through. Like the Peters comments has taken over the SB thread. Maybe that should be moved into a new thread in the "Around the league" board. |

1 of the few smart moves SB made. Keep Hammer instead of Nemo. |

Awesome he feels he can play another year but I'd rather move on and keep Lehner, unless he wants 7-8yrs, then trade him and sign Crow for 1yr, maybe around 5mill. Then he can mentor Lankinen, Delia, Tomkins, or whoever steps up to be the backup. |

i wonder what those 10 team trade-to list is. if he list cup "contenders" or play-off teams, a few of them might be open on a trade for CC. Taking on half of his salary is also possible with more return. Might get a 1st rounder (plus more) from Vegas or Edmonton or Toronto, for CC with half-salary retained, even Boston (Rask is in concussion protocol) or Colorado might want a goalie insurance. Calgary, Carolina and even Philly might also want a proven goalie. one or two of those teams mentioned are probably in his 10-team list ? |

Some of the injuries that we thought would happen are happenin' and that could be good fortune for the team but Gus shoulda been good fortune last summer too.....opportunities have to be taken advantage of but rarely are it seems. Carter Hart is out for a month but the Flyers still beat the Blues in StLou last night with Elliott. |

I am expecting at least a 2nd rounder (no salary retained) or a 1st rounder if salary is retained.
I do think there is a high possibility that SB will F this up, considering how he (or the management) values the core very much. He might get less to force a trade on a team where CC really wants to go

I gotta say, I don't think there is a snowball's chance in hell that we get a first rounder for Crow. sorry, but I'm not seeing it. Lehner maybe, but no way Crow. not with his injury history, even if it is just for a playoff run. |

Lehner maybe, but no way Crow. not with his injury history, even if it is just for a playoff run. 50/50 chance, probably 75% youre right. I don't want to wish injury on anyone, but look at Vegas, if theyre a wildcard team and Fleury goes down (and CC has Vegas in his 10-team trade to list, yea I know lots of things have to happen) its a possibility. Vegas is in a win-now mode. I can see the same scenario (starting goalie injured, 10-team trade to list, within the PO) with Calgary, Edmonton and Boston. they might give up a pick around 20-28th for a 3-3.5m CC

hey, ya never know. GM's definitely reach at the deadline, so I suppose it could happen. I just don't see it happening with Crow. partly because I don't think anyone would give us a first for him and partly because I think if we are sellers at the deadline, Lehner is gonna be the guy that gets moved. |

Lehner would definitely be the same scenario as CC, same returns too (maybe more), but I get the feeling Lehner would be re-sign here with some ridiculous contract, maybe 8x8. the probability of this will go up too if he's not traded by TDL. I'm guessing one of DeHaan or Seabs (or CC) wont be back next year. Their contract caphit will absorb Lehner's new caphit for at least next year or two

I don't know how de Haan or Seabs deals go anywhere squish..... The Canes took nothing back when they unloaded de Haan for a reason and now SB knows the reason.....he'll have even less value after missing most of this season and that 4.55M for two more after this one is very unappealing and I doubt he's lookin' to retire @28. I also doubt Seabs is lookin' to retire after goin' through a bunch of surgeries and he ain't walking away from 27.5M bucks and he shouldn't. Seabs could be the only problematic contract on the team if the GM didn't go out and purposely add three more last summer. |

When I see how successfully the Isle have replaced Lehner with Varlamov 5MX4 and Greiss 3.3MX1,I'd like no more than 6M for a Lehner re-do and around 4 years sounds right. How much more would he want? It'll be interesting to see how things work out,the FO HAS to know what Lehner's lookin' for by now and they'll have to make a decision before the TDL with one tough SOB of a February on the horizon. The last interview I saw with CC sounds like he has no interest in retiring or backing up so we probably see him elsewhere next year.
The top five GT's make 7M or more,do we add Lehner to that list here or do we explore the Cane's two good GT's for 6.5M route? If Lehner returns for 7M+ does the team have to give the cheap,back-up role to one of the young GT's...….all three have been decent at the Rock.

I see your point about Seabs and Dehaan coming back next season. So I shouldn't write off their caphits to LTIR. that would just leave Saad (and Lehner) as tradeable assets. I read somewhere that Saad has a limited NMC (or NTC) effective this coming offseason. It will become more difficult to move him

I'm not a fan of his. this was discussed previously on the old board. our old friend in Rockford, blkhwkprincess (sp?), agreed. glad to add some depth. good for him for getting his head out of his ass and improving. I hope he does well for Rockford's depth. |

I hope he does well for Rockford's depth. care to elaborate for those here who's memory is bad? (like mine) honestly, part of it is where he went to school and part of it is because of the person. I have zero business, however, pointing fingers at young lads when I was just as much of an asshat when I was 16-22.... you'd think I'd have learned my lesson, as some guy wearing a pair of 8s has certainly shown that one can change their colors (although it sadly took something terrible for him to do so). regardless, I hope he has grown up some and it is indeed a good thing for organizational depth. he seems to have straightened out and could be finally playing to his potential. good for him, hope he keeps it up. |

He's signed for 700k on a 2way contract, most likely depth for Rockford next season, I don't have a problem with this signing. |

March 2019 while in a fight Kempny lost his balance and tore his left hamstring and was out the rest of the season. I'm surprised that's worthy for a nod at winning the Masterton. |
