TorinK92 Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Rask will win it, Bishop should win it, and Varlamov will be the guy to steal it and try to prove us all wrong next season, only to ultimately fail like Ilya Bryzgalov or Ray Emery (or any other goalie that goes to Philadelphia for that matter.)Mark my words.

Cosmic Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I really can't imagine a team spending the money for Ryan Miller after watching him be so thoroughly unremarkable I'm the playoffs. It'll be really interesting to see where he ends up.If Mike Gillis was still in, I'd put money on him heading for Vancouver. He's goalie-trade/FA happy.Moving this here as to not clutter up the playoff thread. I did a quick scan on nhlnumbers.com and there's really not many teams that don't already have money tied up in goalies for next year. Calgary, Vancouver, Buffalo, the Isle, St. Louis and probably a couple more that I'm overlooking... not a huge market. I feel like he might take a one year deal to wait out the market; after next year, the Toronto and Pittsburgh jobs could open up.On a side note, HOLY MOLY are Cam Ward and Ondrej Pavelec not worth the money/term they are getting!

Lee. Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Pavs will likely be a buyout target once a deal for Reimer is in place. Welcome to DrunjFlix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I feel like [Miller] might take a one year deal to wait out the market; after next year, the Toronto and Pittsburgh jobs could open up. Miller's 34. If he takes a one-year deal, any further contracts will be subject to 35+ cap hits, and teams are going to be far less likely to sign him long-term if he's liable to decline steeply and leave them with dead cap space, unless the Islanders are still going to play the dead cap space game in Brooklyn. They will. So he basically has to go for a four-year deal this summer and take what he can get, which as much as we'd like to think will be significantly diminished by how much he crapped the bed for the last two months, will still be a lot, because GMs are desperate and dumb. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HedleyLamarr Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 The Flyers are always pretty creative when it comes to working the cap numbers to sign a big-name player. And they always need a goalie.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kramerica Industries Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Well, Mason is sitting on a cap hit of $4.1M through 2016-17 after the Flyers extended him in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Yeah, that one's decided. http://blogs.buffalonews.com/sabres/2014/04/refresher-whats-in-it-for-sabres-if-blues-lose.html Blues will draft somewhere between 18 and 25 this year, closer to 25, most likely. They'll lose that if they sign Miller early, so I wouldn't expect that to happen. Then again, it is a low first in a weak-ish draft, so who knows. But why even sign him to an extension before the draft if you can just...wait? ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Right. They give up a 2016 2nd instead of a 2014 1st if they sign him after the draft. Now that Miller's value has plunged, they can afford to wait, if they even want him back with Brian Elliott and Jake Allen perfectly capable of taking it from here. But what's most important: he can go to his sister-in-law's wedding! ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 The Panthers fired Peter Horachek. I'd like to think they won't bring in Horachek's neck-deficient old boss, but that team does need some very coachy coaching. They don't even know how to make a line change. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Since you can only have former players from your team running the team now, I'll say the Panthers hire Scott Mellanby as their head coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
