Erat has a no movement clause

On power plays, or all situations?

Nashville Chicago got screwed over by Alex Radulov Kyle Beach, that guy could have been the top line winger the team needs.

FUCK!

Legwand has a no trade and Erat has a no movement clause.

WWOS, if you’re looking at capgeek, look for a symbol of a lock next to a players name, it’ll tell you whether they have special trade/movement clauses in their contracts.

Lightning/Bruins should be fun too. I love watching St. Louis play. Seeing Chara try to chase him down for 7 games will be a treat. If that pairing is against them. I would think they would be.

Geez and I were talking about it the other day. If the Pens had taken Toews over Staal in the 2006 draft, we’d all be sad pandas right now. That team would be LOADED.

No much in terms of impact forwards in the system at the moment

Somehow I’m hoping Geoffriyon and Spaling end up being a good third line next year. They were paired in Milwaukee I guess and were pretty good.

If they could unload a guy like Legwand or Erat, I’d be fine with it. I feel like Fisher is a good pickup for them, even at the cap hit the next couple years, but Legwand is our top center right now, and I feel like that’s a problem.

What is Malkin’s cap hit next year????

8.7

That guy will be a solid goal scorer for as long as Nashville wants to retain him.

Yeah, I wasn’t as big a fan of Hornquist and Kostitsyn, but if we aren’t scoring anyway, I’d always rather develop the younger players than pay the older ones who are basically not going to be anything other than what they are right now.

the Preds have some pretty solid prospects coming up right?

I know nothing about Ryan Ellis except that he won the AHL player of the year this year and he’s a defenseman, so I can only assume he and Franson will make a great pairing. There are some forwards with potential too I hear, but I don’t know much about them.

Thanks, SC… I’m gonna go try to get us a forward now. What is Malkin’s cap hit next year????

Erat/Legwand/Dumont are all on the books for 4.5M through 2012 unfortunately,

I’ll be honest; I didn’t even know Legwand was still with the Preds until I started watching this series. I remember when they drafted him 2nd overall and he just seemed to be hurt all the time (probably misperception on my part?).

Franson/Klein/Blum are all pretty young. The Preds prefer to have players spend time in the AHL (i.e. Ellis next year) and the depth on the blueline affords them the ability to do that.

No much in terms of impact forwards in the system at the moment and no 1st round pick this summer though.

I’m still rooting against the Canucks… but you already knew that.

Understood! Just want to point out some interesting stats and let you know the respect (and, I’ll say it, fear) fans had of the Hawks here.

If you still plan to come burn Rogers Arena (aka GM Place) down let me know. Summer’s a great time to do that around here.

You’re a numbers guy, WWOS. That has more toys to play with, including a calculator.

The Preds have basically a 2nd/3rd/4th forward line playing 1st/2nd/3rd line minutes

I’m not all that familiar with their system, but the Preds have some pretty solid prospects coming up right? I know some of their young guys on D – Franson and Blum played Junior here in Vancouver – but not sure up front?

Hornquist

He’s really good. Sophomore slump. That guy will be a solid goal scorer for as long as Nashville wants to retain him.

With Suter and Weber coming due soon, I imagine Sullivan is gone, given the cost/injury history. Erat/Legwand/Dumont are all on the books for 4.5M through 2012 unfortunately, and as much as I hate to say it, some of that money has to go to Joel Ward, and Kostitsyn (who now that I realize was making 500K, I’m much cooler with.

SC, you might like this link.

Good read. I read Nucks Misconduct, too. I’ve seen credit given there as well. It continues my mantra of “they better fucking sign him before he gets to arbitration.” I will not have another Niemi countdown summer.

I be very surprised if the Preds even let it get to a point where other teams have the opportunity to put in an offer sheet.
