And Ryan McDonagh also goes to the Rangers.
This is an amazingly bad deal. |

Trying to free up cap room for free agents? What was the Rangers' cap number like before? (nhlnumbers is down).

Apparently. Quote:
Assuming increases to RFAs, would have been a few million away from the cap with a couple huge holes to fill on the top two lines. Amazing deal by Sather. |

I agree. I guess if I had to choose Gomez at $7.3 M or Heatley at $7.5M, I'd take Heatley.

Supposedly the Heatley deal is done.
Montreal fans on the hfboards are going nuts over the deal. Entertaining to read the thread, especially starting around page 9 when they realized McDonaugh was part of the deal too. http://hfboards.com/showthread.php?t=656981&page=9 Last edited by Logan : 06-30-2009 at 05:24 PM. |

Or the Rangers sign Gaborik, and he plays about 20 games.
Gomez isn't terrible, just drastically overpaid. But from Gainey's POV, it makes some sense. He's losing a bunch of people and wants to make a splash. Taking Gomez, IMO, is a better move than signing Gaborik to a new deal. Also, correction to what I said yesterday, I've seen two different numbers on Guerin. $2.85 and $2.0. Possibly there are some incentives in there, which I think count against the cap until they are no longer attainable. Also, Mike Zigomanis is not returning to Pittsburgh with Craig Adams signing. Good 4th line faceoff guy available to someone.

You're right, this is pretty amusing. I don't even know who McDonaugh is, but sure sounds popular in Montreal.

Was up on Spector's site but now he's reporting that the Sedin's agent has denied that a deal is done. Sounds like some jumping of the gun ala the Luongo extension.

HF is good for getting info as things break. It's there in an instant. Most threads follow this pattern- "Name a [young/old] [forward/defenseman] who you think is [overrated/underrated]" If it's overrated- "[insert hated player from your teams rival here] isn't as good as he's made out to be here" "[previously mentioned player] is great, and untouchable in a trade from us!" "Crysby is comically overrated, he sux!" If underrated- "[favorite player from favorite team here] is vastly underrated" "Not as badly as [player from MY team] is" "[3rd name] is better than both of them and will end up better than Crosby...he sucks!"

Yeah, I just posted that a little earlier. I saw both numbers, and neither is coming directly from the Pens, so I don't know what to make of it. My understanding of the way the incentives work is they count against the cap until they are no longer attainable. So, if it's a games played clause, that is pretty easy to figure out. What I don't know is if it's a goals/points clause. Say it's 30 goals. And in March he's at 10. It's obviously pretty unlikely at that point, but not unattainable. That $800,000 could be pretty important to someone like Pittsburgh around the trade deadline.

While I'd love another hit on the backend besides Orpik, he sounds like he'd be more trouble than help. Goligoski is going to get the green light to move up, so he'd be forced to sit back, and couldn't pinch on the boards being the last man back. We don't have a net clearing guy, even with Scuderi and Gill. They are more of the tie-up sticks type. The guy the Pens get to fill Scuderi's spot (i've accepted he's gone) will have to be able to play the PK. Hoping Shero's Nashville connections come through and they get the next Rob Scuderi in Greg Zanon for abou 1/2 the price of Scuds.

He's cheaper than Brian Campbell! There was a rumor that Calgary would sign Bouwmeester and then trade Phanuef to Ottawa for Heatley. I don't know if that will happen or not. You can afford two defensemen in that price range, but the team does tend to get a bit top heavy, especially when you throw in a $7 million forward (Iginla) and a $7 million goalie (Kiprusoff).

It must be frustrating to be Paul Holmgren. You pull off the terrible Pronger trade, you go to bed thinking you own one of the NHL's all-time worst trades, and then you don't even win Worst Deal of the Month honors.

I love that the Rangers dumped Gomez, that trade would be fantastic if they got absolutely nothing in return.

Reading the HB boards about the Canadians deal makes me LOL even more.
Did the ghost of Gord Stellick finally bite the Habs back? For those who don't know Gord Stellick was the Leaf GM who traded Russ Courtnall to montreal for John Kordic.....Still known as the worst Leaf trade in history.

Sources say Dany Heatley has been asked to waive his no-trade clause to go to Edmonton in exchange for Andrew Cogliano, Dustin Penner and Ladislav Smid. If Heatley agrees to waive it, it would appear that the Senators and Oilers will have a deal. If Heatley agrees to waive, it would appear the Sens and Oilers will have a deal, pending the official trade call with NHL central registry, but that is generally a formality.
