Jake Gardiner is still available. Montreal should sign J-Gards to play with Weber. F**k Jaberta.

Montreal signs Kieth Kinkaid to a one year at $1.75 million. Good moneyball signing. F**k Haberta.

Indeed, not great, and here I was thinking Kapanen and Johnsson were going to be invasive hockey parent problem children, but no, they both sign multiyear team friendly deals which are looking pretty damn good now, if Doonskoi is getting 3.9 for four years.

Not a ridiculous overpay, but still, he only scored 14 goals, yet making more than Kapanen and Johnsson who both had 20.

Seems like Dubas is getting ready to trade for a defensemen, Kadri likely going the other way. The Kadri for Darnell Nurse rumor seemed too far fetched, but no doubt Dubas is after his guy Darnell, would cost more than just Kadri tho.

Ottawa has become the dumping ground where Leafs bad contracts are put out to pasture, first Phaneuf, now they take both Zaitsev and Hainsey,

Good grief, Hainsey gets $3.5 million from the Sens? No wonder Dubstep passed on that.

Exactly Auston Matthews money. NYI lose Anders Lee and miss out on the Bread Man, bwahahahaha, f**k Isleberta!

C-Mac signs a one year with the Sunshine State Warriors.

HYK Remix, an oldie but a goodie, f**k Nashberta. Mike Smith signs with the Oilers while Cam Talbot rumored to be going to Calgary, goalie swapping be going on up in here, f**k Alberta.

Leafs sign Jason Spezza to a one year league minimum $700k contract. I like it, no risk moneyball, can be a depth center, or can be buried on the Marlies as necessary.

lol Now Ron Hainsey signs with Ottawa, DJ Smith taking his toys with him as he goes. Tyler Ennis is reportedly going to Ottawa as well.

No damage done at least, one year of Ceci to get rid of four more of Zaitsev, a third round pick for Brown who had to go anyways, Harpur is only $725k so he can be depth or he can be buried on the Marlies. Net cap savings this year $2.3 million. The real cost of getting rid of both the Marleau and Zaitsev bad contracts, turns out to be swapping a late first round pick for an early third, well played Dubstep.

Bobby Mac reporting that Brown and Zaitsev are going to Ottawa for Ceci and picks. Other reports are Duchene expected to sign with the Preds, Canucks going to sign Tyler Myers for $30 million (bwa-hahahaha!), and Corey Perry to join Pavelski in Dallas.

Leafs sign Kenny Agostino as a depth guy, 2 years, one way, but only $700K, so basically no risk, can be sent down to the A with no cap hit.

Can't get any sense of it, Kawhi is a sphinx, won't surprise me whichever way he goes, since I have no expectations either way.

Without Durant the GSW's are quite beatable, if the Dinos can get Kawhi to sign, then they just have to get past Milwaukee again to repeat.

Kevin Durant apparently signing with Brooklyn, Brooklyn also planning to sign Kyrie Irving.

It's like Komarov, Martin and Johnston is a $6.5 million cap hit, Anders Lee wants $7.5 million; would you trade Komarov, Martin and Johnston for Anders Lee? Of course you would, the most expensive fourth line in hockey is a burden not a boon.

The fact that Two Phones is having to let Anders Lee walk to free agency because he overpaid for Komarov, Matt Martin, Ross Johnston etc wouldn't inspire confidence. Having had Two Phones as my GM I'd say he's dead weight, if he doesn't come with Scott Niedermayer and Scott Stevens, Lamoriello ain't actually worth the hassles.

Thing is, the Islanders are apparently willing to just let Anders Lee walk, thus bringing Panarin in would just be replacing the lost offense of Lee, so not much of a net gain overall.

If Two Phones snags Panarin that would be a coup, if I was Panarin I would go to Florida with Bobbro,

Yeah, I'd prefer to keep the Kawhi party going, but that situation doesn't vex me as much as the Loafs cap problems tho, as directed by Serge Ibaka, I'm simply enjoying the Chip with the Dip all summer long. The weather is so nice I'm just in Bobby Margarita mode, cottage lifestyle at home bliss.

I don't think there is much America can do for Canada on this anyways, Canada insists that Canada is a "rule of law country", thus the extradition treaty must me honored. Trump is primarily focused on the domestic task of derailing the Democrat race hustling extremist agenda, I would bet that Pompeo is the one running Five Eyes. But there is a limit to what even Pompeo can do, it's not like the Communists in Beijing are under America's control, America is simply doing what it can to defend the free world from them.

I actually think Muzzin and Ceci would be a more serviceable pairing, they're Team Canada Southern Ontario so they would gel quickly, Muzzin has the sandpaper to offset Ceci's butter softness, Ceci is the smoother skater who gets the puck through the neutral zone, they kind of compliment one another, moreso than Muzzin and Zaitsev methinks, simply because Zaitsev doesn't rush the puck and doesn't use his shot, but otherwise is not better than Ceci on the aggregate. Ceci also has big time high pressure playoff experience compared to Zaitsev, Ceci is more like a Muzzin in that department. Ceci is just the favvorite whipping boy of the Ottawa fan base, none the less, I still think he's a better NHL player than Zaitsev is. The main thing with Ceci is to just ignore the fact that he is 6'2" 207 lbs and realize that he is a pure offensive defensemen. He doesn't play defense, same as Zaitsev, he gets caved in if he doesn't have someone carrying him in the defensive zone, same as Zaitsev. Ceci on the other hand at least has some NHL offensive upside whereas Zaitsev doesn't have any particular qualities which stand out. Just get rid of that Two Phones contract, Ceci can do what Zaitsev does for now, worry about Reilly's and Andersen's next contracts, get rid of the dead weight cap hits ASAP. Even if you have to be thin and top heavy next season, you gotta do what you gotta do to fit Reilly and Andersen under the cap going forward. I'm not making a prediction because I'm the same with Ceci as I am with Zaitsev, in that I don't have any confidence in them, but on the other hand, playing with the Mike Babcock country club does give Ceci the opportunity to put up some points, which Zaitsev is just not doing, so what the heck, give somebody else an opportunity, particularly as Zaitsev has idiotically requested a trade when he actually has it made in the shade in the 6ix under Babcock who plays the shit out of him. That goes for Ron Hainsey too, who apparently has multiple teams bidding for him, because doesn't matter what they pay him, nobody is going to treat him better than Babcock does. Take a team friendly discount and play with Morgan Reilly, or be a healthy scratch for a few sheckles more, me, I'd go with Mo Norris,
