I was really hoping he would've came back after his contract ended with the Blues. Too bad

Hearing that preliminary discussions have begun between the Sabres and Jack Eichel's camp on an extension. He's one year out of his ELS deal

Conor McDavid is closing in on a contract extension with the Edmonton Oilers that would make him the highest-paid player on an annual basis in the salary-cap era.
The deal, believed to be an eight-year, $106-million pact with an average annual salary of $13.25 million, is still being negotiated.

“Not done yet,” McDavid’s agent, Jeff Jackson of the Orr Hockey Group, told TSN, declining to comment further.

If completed at the reported numbers, McDavid’s $13.25 million cap hit would eclipse current league leaders Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews ($10.5 million) and Anze Kopitar ($10 million), who are the only three players in the NHL with eight-figure cap hits.

McDavid’s new contract would also be the third richest in total dollars to only Alex Ovechkin’s $124 million and Shea Weber’s $110 million – but those deals covered 13 and 14 seasons. Under the latest Collective Bargaining Agreement instituted in 2013, eight years is the maximum contract length.

NYR and Brendan Smith are close to finalizing what is expected to be a four-year deal.
It will be an AAV of $4.35M.

McDavid getting PPAAAAAAAID.

I hope it renders the Oilers penniless.

 

[llerraj]

Shattenkirk to the Rangers. 4 years at 6.9 AAV.

 

[llerraj]

Shattenkirk deal turned out to be fake news.

[Bad Religion]

Whats the word on Weircioch? Apparently he is an analytic's dream.

 

[DeadsetAce]

Don Sweeney with the power moves....AHL'er's and a 7th defenseman

 

[DeadsetAce]

Jumbo back with SJ for a year (likely his last?)....Marleau the odd man out?

Leafs sign Patrick Marleau to a three year deal. At his age and their stage of development this is a curious signing.

 

[EddieDoyers]

Marleau still got some in the tank

 

[Bad Religion]

6.25 per. Upgrade on Boyle.

 

[DeadsetAce]

3 years tho??!

 

[lvjordan238]

Ducks were supposedly offering 2 years ~4m per. That is a ridiculous deal for a 38 year old. Full NMC too. Marleau doesn't seem to want to win anything before he hangs em up.

Kinda hope we try to bring in Jagr for a year.

 

[sosly]

Looks like Canadiens are paying the full Price. Eh eh eh eh eh I'm waiting for an article, but it says 8 years extension

 

[Nawzlew]

thanks for everything pat

 

[jjs07]

Caps - water yew doing?

Give Kuznetsov, coming off a 59 point season, a 8/62 deal....trade a 58 point scorer to NJ for 2nd/3rd round picks in '18. Wut?

Johansson HAD to be traded, but if this was the deal that needed to be made, do it BEFORE the '17 draft. Or at least get a 1st round pick in return. Unreal. Caps are gonna SUCK next year.

 

[rolaholic]

He's earned it. It also means he's most probably gonna finish his career in Montreal so I don't even mind

 

[EddieDoyers]

Radulov going to the Stars
