Bob just said it best, McKenzie.. the most unpredictable draft in recent history became predictable. every player selected tonight was in the TOP 40.

 

No big trades, meh to the neal trade, that's not a trade that i'd call a big deal, i was thinking spezza, buff, even kane to be dealt.

 

Guess theres always tomorrow. 

Jets in on Eric Staal. I wouldn't mind a blockbuster that also brings Jordan here. The rumour has Carolina retaining some salary. I wonder if it would be little going the other way.

Anyone think that Toronto made a bad pick with Nylander? Not that I wish any pick to be a bust but I always enjoy mocking Leafs fans.

Nah. Jets could easily have taken him too.

Yah, I don't like the Nylander pick

 

Bollig to Calgary... had a feeling CHI would move him, was kind of hoping Chevy would bring him in

The #NHLJets trade the 159th pick and Eddie Pasquale to Washington for 164th, 192nd, and 7th round pick in 2015.

With Hutchinson, Hellebuyck and Comrie in the pipeline, I suppose Pasquale became expendable.  Pasquale was also becoming and RFA

 

The #NHLJets trade the 189th overall pick to Ottawa for their 6th round pick in 2015.

Wow, do I ever like this...

 

Philly is already at the cap - how do they afford Bogo and Buff...?  Voracek has to be part of that deal - I would do Voracek and MacDonald straight up - would be great to snag Morin though

 

Staal would be huge upgrade over Kane while Scheifele and Petan develop

 

Kane to Isles for... Okposo is the only name that stands out, Griffin Reinhart would be nice as part of a package

Hahahaha Daren Ford posting rumours uncredited from hockey buzz. Maybe Chipman told him with a wink.

Buffalo buys out Christian Erhoff. Sabres are now $21 million under the salary floor. Some undeserving players are going to get paydays there. Seems clear they want to finish last next season

Hoping for Connor McDavid?

eklund right there and that guy is always wrong, those rumours are total and pure BS. 

I wouldn't say he's always wrong. He usually reports every possible rumour so he's right someone's. I read that site because they have writers from different cities and rumours are always fun

But Darren is the biggest humblebrag there is so I thought it was funny that he tweeted rumours like he had some knowledge when he just read hockey buzz.

He's 98 percent wrong all the time though. i read that site too and the guy is basically just there for craps n giggles. It's like reading tweets from montreal fans who think kane will go there for thomas plekanec, just LOL at those tweets really. Will there possibly be trades by the Jets coming? maybe, but i doubt its anything significant. You know what makes sense for both teams, the eric staal rumour, id trade buff for staal, it helps us and it helps them too. They need D, we need a centre. It actually makes sense. 

not draft day but... sam gagner traded to tampa bay for teddy purcell.

lol yup quoting myself... cuz gagner was traded from tampa to arizona (coyotes)

Edmonton gets a player in need of a change of scenery for a player that needed a change of scenery, Tampa clears cap space and sheds contracts and Arizona commits highway robbery to get 2 players for a 6th round pick, Tampa even ate some of Gagners contract.

Like that trade for Tampa. Would have likes Gagner here.

Spoke to soon lol. Weird move by Tampa. Apparently they made the deal for Gagner before Arizona got into the mix. So if they wanted him why turn around and trade him for morning and retain salary. Weird.

Good deal for coyotes. I'd gladly have given a sixth round pick for Gagner. For that matter of Purcell was available id have wanted him too.

Spezza traded to the Stars for a draft pick and spare parts!

Chiasson is better than a spare part. Gotta remember too that Spezza has only one year left on his deal.

Some

Stupid money and deals being thrown around. Mostly glad the jets stayed out of the stupid. But I would have taken jussi or Raymond at their deals.

the player also needs to want to come here. 

Orpik, Bolland, & Engelland are the worst contracts of the day. Niskanen's contract could also be ugly if he can't play the rest of his career like he did last season. He's only had one really good season. Pouliot's smells a little too.

 

I thought Pittsburgh had a very good day. Upgraded their bottom six, got a good backup goalie, & a very good dman on a bargain contract. All things they really needed.

 Pouliot's smells a little too.

apparently he was even offered more money by some other teams according to rumours. That was a neccessary evil for the Oilers though. They desperately needed actual NHL players for their middle 6 and it costs you to get them in FA.
