Around The League - 2024-25 Regular Season

I loathed this signing from the get go. I think we’re stuck with him, and I get that HuGo doesn’t want to tie up future cap space with a buy out.

So it sucks.

Just this season left. Pain might be gone by March

Blackhawks gave 4 millions to Perry for next season, guess he really didnt want to sign there.

Honestly , from an emotional point of view, I am surprised that the Bell Centre hasn't been burnt to the ground in protest by now. Storied franchise that is an inseparable part of the fabric of Quebecois society is run by a team of mostly anglophones, who can't for the life of them attract decent francophone players (or draft them). Cannot draft dynamic offensive players that fans principally pay good money to watch ( Caufield maybe the only exception).

This simmering anger is about to explode.

Duclair's always going to be a suitcase, regardless of his stats.

Washington Capitals sign Pierrick Dube to entry-level contract

Dube notched 32 points in 44 games with the Laval Rocket during the 2022-23 season.

Former Laval Rocket Pierrick Dube got himself an ELC with Washington.

Pat Maroon had quite the run in Tampa.

Tampa's so desperate for capspace, they had to retain 20% of Maroon's $1M salary to be able to get rid of him.

I sense a Nylander trade is imminent..

 

[GGpX]

If they're not going to be able to re-sign him (or Matthews, or Marner next summer) then they need to trade him.

It would be a catastrophe for Toronto if any of those three walked as free agents.

 

[lecoqsportif]

They’d be trading Nylander a year too late IMO.

I sense a Nylander trade is imminent..

Of course. The Leafs have negative cap space and Nylander wants to be paid.

Hello , Buffalo at 30% retention

John Gibson sucks.

 

[Habsy]

He never asked for a trade
