Kind of speaks to the kind of organization the Oilers are that all of them have essentially gotten free passes for their time with them. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He did a stellar job grooming the young Ducks in San Diego and had tremendous team success there too. As evidenced by their recent history, you could argue he got kind of a raw deal in Edmonton the last time he was an NHL boss. I'm excited to see what he can bring. Surely can't be Carlyle bad. After years of the same old Carlyle-isms and Boudreau-isms, maybe this is the breath of fresh air this team needs. Looking forward to seeing what he brings. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Still MIGHTY 3,834 Posted June 19, 2019 Ducks officially buy out Corey Perry after 14 years with the franchise. Perry had two years at $8.6 million per year remaining. According to CapFriendly, the Ducks will pay $2.6M against the cap this season, $6.6M next season, and $2M in each of the two seasons after that. So an extra $6M to play with this season as the Ducks sit $15M under the cap (with a probable Kesler LTIR coming at some point), but they have to be careful with the bigger part of the buyout next season. Thanks for everything, Pears. You were a jerk and a weirdo, but you were our jerk, weirdo, Stanley Cup champion, Hart Trophy winner, and Rocket Richard winner with a couple of the bigger playoff OT goals in team history. No. 10 will go to the rafters at some point. 34 years old, so potentially a few more years to give. Here's to him signing somewhere Eastward. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cosmic 6,457 Posted June 20, 2019 So the Sabres didn't just make the Conn Smythe winner lose his passion for the game, they made the Conn Smythe AND Selke winner lose his passion for the game. I'm good. I'm good. I'm calm. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

omnivore 89 Posted June 22, 2019 Excited about the Devils future. PK for a few more years. I don't care if people think he's on the decline, guy is a huge upgrade over what we've had to work with the past few years and the value of what we gave up wasn't much of anything. Also the intangibles and his value to the club off the ice will be a huge boon. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ridleylash 4,030 Posted June 22, 2019 Detroit and Chicago throwing the biggest curveballs of the first round. Colorado looks scary, and so do the Devils with Subban and Hughes; if Hall is back, Schneider can get back to his old form and Blackwood remains as good as he's been, they're looking very good on making the playoffs. LA and Anaheim looking to have gained quite the spoils from this draft round, too. Panthers got a fine young goaltender in Knight to hopefully finally fix their goaltending troubles, and Montreal gets a fine scorer to boost their offensive threat. Arizona's obviously trying to add some scoring depth and work on the flaws that just barely gimped their playoff hopes last season. Canucks get JT Miller from the Lightning, that'll be a boon. Canes get Marleau from the Leafs, too. The draft has been remarkably unpredictable this year. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty strong rumor coming out that the Canes are going to buy him out and he’ll be heading back the Sharks in free agency. One more more season of Thornton and Marleau. Just kill me now. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
