I don't get it. At all. It's kind of a small horse, I mean what am I missing? Am I crazy?

Erik Karlsson has signed an 8 year deal to stat in San Jose. Not sure about this. There's two things that play into this. The first is that it highlighted the cheapness (yes, cheapness; Eugene Melnyk is NOT "frugal") of Ottawa, due to the fact that I honestly think Melnyk would find paying 750K for his top player annually highway robbery, though anyone with a working brain expected all the good players to get the hell out of that dumpster fire sooner or later. The other is that, for a team as star-crossed as San Jose, that's an awful lot of money to put on one player expecting success. The only worry I have if I'm a Sharks fan is that Karlsson has seemed to have had his share of injuries the last few years.

What the actual f***. 7.14M for someone who hovers around 50 points at best? Is Chuck Fletcher TRYING to blow up the CBA? I'm not a fan of Fletcher, I think he is a name chaser. But as for what he is doing from the sounds coming from Philly is they think their young guys are all gonna make a huge step so they feel they are in win now mode

Rangers got Kaapo Kakko with the #2 pick. The way he's talked about, you'd think he's the next Tikkanen, Jokinen, or dare I say it, Selanne.

Canucks take Vasily Podkolzin #10 overall. Should be a good pick once his time in the K is over.
Yes, I had to copy and paste that name.

Kakko is gonna be good, probably the best offensive player in this draft. But I would stop short of comparing him in any way to Selanne. His game reminds me of Gaborik if he was ever healthy.

I hear a lot of their fans wanted Boldy. I feel like Podkolzin at that spot is great value, but I know Vancouver is a market that is hard to unanimously please.

ESPN and NHL.com spell it "Vasily" too. Probably just a difference in ways of Romanizing the name from the Cyrillic alphabet.

That's the only reason I made note of Podkolzin. Kinda like the first time I saw Dwyane Wade's spelling of his first name, stands out as being different

Nashville just traded P.K. Subban to the Devils.
The Leafs have also traded Patrick Marleau and a 6th rounder for next year to Carolina for a 2020 1st rounder and a 2020 7th rounder.

Full terms of the deal: Devils get Subban. Predators get Davies, Santini, a 2019 second round pick, and a 2020 second round pick. Devils also pick up what Nashville had to pay Subban.
Devils got a hell of a player for not much of anything given up and the Preds get some much needed cap relief as they were in a pretty bad situation.

Subban was traded for 2 D-men and 2 picks, a 2019 and 2020 2nd rounder. High prices for both IMHO. Wouldn't think Marleau would still be worth a 1st rounder this day and age.

I didn't see on ESPN what the Devils had to give up and to me, that trade seems kind of... meh for Nashville? Cap relief and not much else. And yeah, Marleau isn't first worthy anymore.

Apparently the Leafs were the ones giving up the first rounder. Seems Carolina might buy out his contract.
