    MTL defenseman Shea Weber is out 5-6 months. Yikes!

    WOW! Other than the Toronto Maple Leafs, who got some very good news...the Canadian teams are being hit hard this off-season:

    -Ottawa had to ship out 20-25 goal scorer Mike Hoffman because of allegations against his GF/fiancee. Erik Karlsson clearly will be moved between now and this time next year. I hear Craig Anderson also wants out.
    -The Edmonton Oilers cannot find wingers to play with their 3 centres, to the point where Ryan Nugent-Hopkins has become a winger
    -Vancouver Canucks saw a whole bunch of salary cap space and decided to overpay a couple of 3rd line players

    Calgary and Toronto are the only two teams that seem to have improved considerably.

    The Habs are definitely looking to be the loser of the Subban trade.

    Ottawa is a train wreck. Unless Melnyk gets hands off fast they won't be able to bring in quality players.

    Edmonton is also a mess. Sure they have McDavid, but they can't seem to find any quality to support him with. Maybe he pulls a McDavid when he hits UFA?

    Vancouver needs to find an identity.

    I agree with your assessments of Calgary and Toronto.

    Anyone know why the New York Rangers drafted Vitali Kravtsov? I understand why Montreal Canadiens drafted Jesperi Kotkaniemi. I can also see why Arizona went with Barret Hayton. I do not get the Rangers pick, at all.

    Kucherov just signed an 8 year, $76 million contract. That's $9.5 mil a year. IMO, that's a great contract for the Lightning. I would much rather have Kucherov's contract than Toews' $10.5 per year.

    Given the ages of the players I absolutely agree.

    Karlsson is yet to be moved as well. The longer this goes, the worse it gets for Ottawa.

    Apparently the Hawks are in serious talks with the Habs about acquiring Pacioretty. They also just shipped Hossa's contract to Arizona in a 7 player deal.

    Fleury resigned with Vegas for 3 years, 7 million per. I think that's fair.

    Agreed on all counts. Kucherov is going to be making the bulk of his money between age of 25 to 34. He is a great player and I think he will be more productive in the next few years of the playoffs. Great contract and well worth it. The Atlantic division will be really tough competition with the likes of Tampa Bay, Toronto, Boston and the young Florida Panthers (who I think is primed to start doing well).

    As far as Karlsson, I had this really weird thought:

    Given the lack of talent on the Canadiens and the abundance of talent on Ottawa, maybe Ottawa and Montreal can start dealing with each other? There is a great chance that Karlsson will not want to go to Montreal, but players like Mark Stone, Matt Duchene, Jean-Gabriel Pageau can easily be moved over to Montreal, since Ottawa looks like they are ready to bottom out.

    Then have the Habs flip him to another team for a boatload of prospects and to take on maybe a bad contract? Could happen. I've seen stranger things.

    I wonder what the Hawks will do with the Cap Room from moving Hossa?

    Oh, they are trying to get Max Pacioretty from CH and Jeff Skinner from the Cane's apparently.

    I dont fallow the Blackhawks, so I am talking out of my butt here.

    If you ask me, the Blackhawks should do a rebuild. I mean they missed the playoffs last year and they have a lot of players who are good, but are overpaid for what the provide, and could be moved for a decent return like Seabrook and Keith for example. But is seems they are giving this group one last go to win it all again.

    I agree, Kane is still solid, and Toews is consistent, but the Keith/Seabrook tandem needs to get blown up. They're really showing their age and their cap hits are completely prohibitive to bringing in premiere talent.

    After a couple of down years, I think Chicago will be better. I think their cap situation is really hurting them and if they can shed maybe one more big contract, I really do think they can do some damage. I think the addition of Cam Ward will help in net. I think Crawford will be healthy and strong for them. I really do have a soft spot for Chicago and I always hope for them to do well.

    Where do you all think Artemi Panarin ends up next season? According to the article in The Hockey News, these are 5 destinations that makes the most sense.

    Jerome Iginla officially going to retire on July 30th. It's really too bad that Iggy couldn't win a Cup before he retired. He's one of those guys that was great, but didn't win the ultimate prize.
