NoelVilla Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 and today Hockey Hall of fame named their players to get in for 2022. No arguments from me. Well deserved. Daniel & Henrik Sedin, Daniel Alfredsson and Roberto Luongo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoelVilla Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Leafs fan in meltdown as they trade for goalie Matt Murray who has a bad contract and can't stay healthy anymore. They just traded away goalie Mrazek who also had a bad contract and lose Jack Campbell to free-agency. Interesting to see what they do tomorrow when free-agency starts.

Lot of happy Senators fans today I see Malkin on free agency as well, one of the elite but seems to be made of glass last few seasons 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoelVilla Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Gaudreau to Columbus is a shock. Small market team but he got paid and closer to home. Edmonton got a better goalie which has been their problem and Carolina continues to make mistakes with a good team. Now they traded for Brent Burns who have a huge contract with 3 years remaining.

NoelVilla Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Looks like Matthew Tkachuk is going to get traded @sne Hate this situation. Don't want to sign long-term because I don't want to be in Calgary. Big baby. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelVilla Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 and there it is. Thachuk signed for 8*9,5. Both Weegar and Huberdeau's contracts expires after this season. If they resign Calgary wins this trade. If not it's not a good situation. Confirmed Trade: [CGY/FLA] Matthew Tkachuk c. 2025 4th for Jonathan Huberdeau, MacKenzie Weegar, Cole Schwindt, c. 2025 1st Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 I was kinda hoping Calgary does Detroit and tanks for a couple seasons so they can re-tool with some draft picks but this points to them doing the opposite with short term thinking. As expected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As expected They can still trade both players at the deadline for 1st round picks and then draft Canadians or Scandinavians just to make sure they can keep them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the guys they got in the trade are Canadians so they might be OK with living in Calgary. It's apparently a very nice place to live.

Gaudreau I read got less for signing for Columbus compared to what Calgary was paying but after tax is counted he is now earning more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least for the smaller teams. If you are a star in Montreal or Toronto it won't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 (edited) Calgary splashing the cash. Nice that he's staying but not sure he's one of the best players in the league. Be nice if they could keep MacKenzie Weegar too. Mangiapane also got a new contract. Edited August 5, 2022 by sne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
