NHL Discussion (Other than Jets)

Montreal played a good game, CP31 was outstanding, but you have to score to win. Montreal has some good young talent, good D, and CP31, but there PP really let them down. It was nice to see a Canadian team in the Cup again.

The lighting are an excellent team, $20M over the cap or not. Good year for Tampa. Stanley Cup and a Super Bowl.

Glad that's over. Quite the boring SCF outside of game 4, IMO.

Montreal to expose Weber in expansion draft. This will protect Ben, Joel, and Jeff who they have to protect because he has a no move clause.

Man, that would be the perfect grab for the Kraken, no issue about cap hit, and a solid leader, their first C...

If you read the whole story, Weber may not play next year or ever again. Apparently is has a number of lingering injures that need time to heel. I can't see the Kraken touching him. It sound like there interested in Kulak.

really a sad story for Weber & his potential season sideline journey

Montreal does not protect Carey Price.

Seeing what VGK did in drafting MAF, I can't see the Krakers passing up on Price, regardless his price... mkes them immediate contenders.

Believe there is no way Price gets picked. Denault me thinks is Seattle?s pick from Habs

Holtby or Bishop, with a strong chance, if rumours are correct, Driedger from Florida

Vegas has to leave one of there goalies unprotected, neither is making 10M .

Lots of big names out there for Francis to choose for his roster. The Kraken should be pretty competitive right out of the gate.

Money is not an issue right now, winning is.

Price gives you an instant chance at winning.

Ask the Jets if Price makes a difference...

Money mite not mean anything right now, but Price has a ton of time left on his contract. Also it has been reported that Price may miss a significant portion of the season with an injury that may require surgery.

I agree, there are a lot of very good players unprotected. This is probably a better pool then the Knights had to choose from.

A number of trades last week. This one I found interesting. Patrick and Myer to Nashville for Ellis. Nashville trades Patrick to Vegas for Cody Glass, another Winnipeg boy.
