Holmgren may ask Hal Gill to sign a minor league deal

[canaan]

David Steckel (MIN) released from his PTO

[bhaw]

We should sign him just to release him.

Boyes and Gilbert sign in Florida

[canaan]

The Devils trade Krys Barch, 7th rd pick (2015) to the Panthers for Scott Timmins, 6th rd pick (2014)

Boyes and Gilbert sign in Florida

i didnt see gilbert's dollar amount, but both are 1 year deals. Boyes will make a milly.

[mikey287]

I heard they signed the same deals. I'll try to confirm.

[Idoit40fans]

I wonder if Whitney is done. He would be a good commentator.

[bhaw]

JM Liles placed on waivers.

[MRandall25]

Florida signed Ryan Whitney to a one year deal.

PLAN THE PARADE

[bhaw]

Does your "We're sorry to inform you that you've been waived" letter have the Panthers' number on it?

[mikey287]

Everyone cleared waivers yesterday (including John-Michael Liles) except for Ryan Stanton (CHI -> VAN). No frills, depth defensive d-man. Organizational belief in Vancouver to have 8 or 9 NHL caliber d-men.

[pcm]

Not a FA move, but Drouin got sent down to the Q. The thought being he needs to bulk up before being able to compete vs men. I guess Tampa will have to lean on St Louis again.

[Gaucho]

Flyers also signed Adam Hall.

Flyers also signed Adam Hall.

In July...

[mikey287]

Sounding like 8 x 8 for Phil Kessel in Toronto. Flyers have signed Hal Gill to a 1 yr deal at $700K

[pcm]

I was expecting to see Kessel get $6m per, in line with all the UFA's signed this summer... just blown away that he would get $8.

[shmenguin]

woof...that's a big payday. salaries are getting even more binary than i expected

Toronto is the biggest market in the entire NHL. they will be forever stuck with paying inflated salaries.

[MRandall25]

Kessel's stats are on par with Claude Giroux. He's making Giroux money.

Blame the Flyers.

[GSdrums87]

Fine with me, we've got our 3 big numbers locked up, not like we're gonna be adding anybody of that calibre in the forseeable future anyways.

[Idoit40fans]

Kessel is paid less than a million dollar cap hit less than Crosby.

[canaan]

Anthony Stewart was released from his PTO with the Sharks.

[shoeshine boy]

Kessel is paid less than a million dollar cap hit less than Crosby.

perhaps but the entire world knows that we pay Sid a helluva lot less than he'd make if he ever hit the open market.

...so? The Penguins have Crosby for $8.7 million and the Ducks have Perry and Getzlaf $8.25 million and the Leafs have Kessel for $8.0 million. Thats an advantage. The advantage doesn't go away because Crosby "could" get more elsewhere.
