2015 NHL Off-season Thread

WOW. Boston Bruins just traded a 2017 3rd Round pick to the Flyers for Zac Rinaldo....

 

Things are going from bad to worse in Boston.

 

I started out Friday giving my best friend, who grew up in Boston and is a huge Bruins fan, crap about making another Seguin level trade.  Now I just feel bad.  Sweeney is in way over his head.  I'm also not sold on Cam Neely.   Seems like things only started going off the rails for Chirelli once Seabass was on board.     

 

The Richards news is very interesting.

I know they won't do it but we should offer sheet Brandon Saad

 

No we shouldnt. How much do you think we should offer him? They'll match almost anything, and anything they won't match we don't want to pay the compensation.

Besides, anything over 3.3M and below 8.4M rules us out because we don't own our 3rd anymore. We have 2, but they are from other teams.

 

Brandon Saad is a good player on a stacked team. He's not worth the cost. They'll match anything reasonable espc if they trade Sharp.

This whole Richards thing is pretty crazy. Apparently the 29 other teams all had to sign off on this, which all of them did.

 

Apparently, the Kings are going to get tabbed with a recapture penalty of $1.32 million for the next five seasons, which isn't nothing.

Holy Christ how is a borderline NHL level thug worth a 3rd?

We're watching the Bruins implode on themselves.

So, should the Devils still go after Mike Richards for veteran and Cup leadership? 

 

What fantastic timing.

Let's wait and see what he did to get terminated. No real info yet but from some of the cryptic reactions of the media, it doesn't sound good. Marek mentioned on his podcast today that he heard lots of whispers about an incident involving Richards at the draft and wasn't at all surprised by the breach of contract news. They heard the news as they were recording the last 5 minutes of the marek vs wyshinski podcast.

I really don't know. I think this guy can no longer get excited about this game. He doesn't want got compete any more.  Apparently there was an off/ice incident, whatever that means.  Let's be careful what we wish for.

If the termination of his contract holds up, or even if it appears that it might for the foreseeable future (some have said that the grievance process could take more than a year) he might be really motivated to show that he can still play just for the money, which is as good a motivator as anything.

This is certainly strange. If it were drug possession/law enforcement related, we likely would've gotten details by now. No athlete has a brush-in with the law without that information being made public; I mean, it's public information. Even a drug incident or overdose/hospital stay leads to some rumors getting out. I can't really imagine what went wrong here, such a strange situation.

 

Canadian law enforcement has even confirmed to hockey media that no charges have been filed on Richards. So so weird.
