2020 NHL Offseason Thread

[Bloody Brian Burke]

And I assume they will expose Graves in the expansion draft.

Basically have to get Johnson to waive his NMC. Can't see that happening.

Gotta think someone in the east would trade something decent for Graves though. Like what reason would Ottawa have for not flipping a second and third round picks for him?

Galchenyuk close to signing in Ottawa.

LOL. I think Melnyk has finally snapped.

I meant to put this into the main NHL thread .

On a side note does anyone know where the identity disc sits on that uni?

 

[naslundfan19]

Interim no more. Good for Rick.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

There are still a lot of decent names on this board.

Thirty-three remain on top NHL unrestricted free agents board as calendar flips - TSN.ca

As the calendar flips to November, Mike Hoffman continues to headline the top available unrestricted free agents with his camp promising patience as they wait for the right deal.

Some of these guys may just hold out until LTIR kicks in and teams can afford more.

But I would love to see the Devils throw money at Hoffman. Rounds out the top 6, get Hughes's confidence up and flip him at the deadline. He gets paid and still winds up with a contender at the end of the day.

I think Hoffman overplayed his hand looking for a long term deal but still think anybody would be very fortunate to have him in their lineup.

Vatanen and Hamonic are two who really shouldn’t be available still either.

Granlund is the one I want, based on need. I wouldn't mind Duclair, but not at the money he is reportedly wanting.

Would not be upset at all with having Hoffman. That would be icing on the cake.

Um, that's quite the chasm.

That’s Mantha money!

With Pulock signed for $5m the Isles have less than $4m to sign Barzal.

Have fun, Lou.

Jarmo needs to get our 2nd back from Ottawa and offer sheet the boy.

If nobody offer sheeted Point last year I just can’t imagine someone will ever actually put forth a realistic offer sheet for a star.

The NHL sucks.

No kidding - Where are the offer sheets for Cirelli?

Or Sergachev? Or Cernak? Those are three very good NHLers tethered to an utterly capped-out team.

GM's handed this year's Cup to TB far as I'm concerned by not being more aggressive with their assets last summer and they're doing the same thing now.

Had the injury for a couple years. Season ends in August. Wait 2 off-season months for surgery?

People wanted to offer sheet Point last year. He didn't want to sign the offers. Knew he had it good in Tampa I suppose.

Not really anyone's fault.
