After a big start yesterday, Vancouver should be quiet today unless the rumors about an impending Kevin Bieksa trade come true. Latest rumors are to Columbus, but other places like Los Angeles, Washington and San Jose could be calling as well.
If you catch any transactions, drop 'em in the comments and we'll update the thread accordingly.
- John Scott - Two Years, Chicago
- Sheldon Souray - Waivers (*snicker*)
- Cody McCormick - One Year, Buffalo
- Mark Eaton - Two Years, Long Island
- Christopher Higgins - One Year, Florida
- Cody McCormick - One Year, Edmonton
- Jason Strudwick - One Year, Edmonton
- Dany Sabourin - One Year, Washington
- Pavel Kubina - Two years,
AtlantaTampa Bay - Tim Jackman - Two years, Calgary
- Raitis Ivanans - Two years, Calgary
Lastly: Hup Hup Holland! That's right I said it.

Lightning strike on Kubina
07.02.10 / 9:47 AM ET
According to several reports, the first-year Lightning GM snagged Pavel Kubina, the top defensemen still on the market.
That bold stroke comes less than 24 hours after Yzerman traded defenseman Andrej Meszaros to the Philadelphia Flyers for a 2012 second-round pick. Also on Thursday, Yzerman signed Martin St. Louis to a long-term extension and signed free-agent goalie Dan Ellis to battle incumbent Mike Smith for the team’s starting goalie job.

Could we
Pack Bieksa to somewhere and then try Resign Willie?
you guys think that is a smart move?
Or right now we need more Depth on the Front line?
by Deh on Jul 2, 2010 7:59 AM PDT up reply actions
Willie would have to re-sign at dirt, dirt cheap. Like $1.5 million for a year. I doubt he’ll do that. I’m sure he has offers on the table already and maybe he’ll end up in the east where the game is a bit slower and he’ll be that much more effective.

Plus I think re-signing MayRay is the priority right now, so if they get that done, and maybe get another 3rd/4th liner then if they have money left over and Mitchell is still avaliable and is willing to take a massive pay cut, it’s not going to happen.
If we dump Bieksa, we have more than enough space for MayRay, Hodgson, and perhaps one more plugger for the 4th line.

We also
Already have a million defensemen signed.
"Playin hurt, baby that don't faze me. I don't got time for pain. The only pain I've got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is!"
Come on! He’s a lot better than nothing. The guy is a legit d-man, maybe subpar for the amount of minutes he eats up, but still better than most of those who play less minutes. He has value. He has a set of skills that some teams will want. As much as we maligned our D last year, it was still above average for the league—we just only focus on comparisons with the elite teams. Shitty teams abound that Bieksa would improve. And those shitty teams generally have we would want in return… prospects and entry level contracts!
by Beantown Canuck on Jul 2, 2010 8:02 AM PDT up reply actions
Yes im with you
I believe if Canucks cant get anythig good back in a Bieksa trade, it would be good keep him for depth, Injurys is a bitch. and then next season (If thats the case) we can let him walk.
But if we have to Dump Bieksa in order to Resign MayRay im all for it. i think hes more valuable to the team right now.

Shall I Flag it Now?
Or wait for someone else to? Because it’s coming…
Anyhow, I think of something that can take a repeated pounding, spit out a live human being, and get right back “in the game”. Perhaps the word is inappropriate to describe a wimp. A diving scrote is more appropriate, perhaps?
Oh, yeah: the flag is coming.
or a diving taint?
Or just a cheater.
Golf and baseball are for playing, not watching.
But “football” is the beautiful game when it is played right, and not marred by those that Sean so aptly named.

I’m against it because known cheaters like A-Rod are allowed to continue to play the game and be well rewarded for it. Plus it’s just really boring to watch.

Gillis saying Bieksa isn't moving
I assume he muttered “yet” under his breath after that.
I assume Bieksa will have to be sacrificed for something cheap and they’ll take pretty much whatever they get for him.
Gotta play 'em, might as well win 'em.
I think the GMs deferred their Canada Day to today...
… nothing’s going on no more!
Which teams even have the cap room to do that? Let alone the stupidity…
Gotta play 'em, might as well win 'em.
LA, Colorado have the cap room. But then when LA wants re-sign Doughty, Johnson, and Simmonds after next season, they could be in trouble. Do they have the stupidity? I dunno.
Colorado has sooooo much room though. I think they would be silly to give him $10 mill… but unless their owner doesn’t want to spend anything, I don’t see why they’re not big in on this. They should make him an offer.
by Beantown Canuck on Jul 2, 2010 10:22 AM PDT up reply actions
I think Colorado
has an internal cap, like they can’t spend to like 59.4 mill cap roof. Makes sense, seeing how they explicitly said they’re going to youth this year. So they might not be able to sign Kovy. I could see Los Angeles paying Kovy like 8 mill, 9 mill max, as they can spend to the cap, unlike say St Louis who also have an internal cap I think. Kovy should stop being an asshole mercenary and get on a team that is on its way up and has a good crop of very good players, like Los Angeles. But whatever, its his life, I’ll be glad if he doesn’t sign with a Western Conference team, we’ll have to see him less. Then again, Toronto could always sign him, as all the folks at PPP were rosterbating about. Don’t know if Burkie wants to sign a defensively weak somewhat greedy Russian sniper though, I don’t think Kovy is truculent enough.

Would that get you a Bachelor’s or Master’s? Over here (England) we don’t get much choice in our degree (or maybe it was just my uni). My two decisions were physical or inorganic chem in 2nd year, and what my project title was for my dissertation.
it’s still a Bachelor of Science degree that i’m doing, but i’m just doing the courses over 5 years instead of the usual 4. every university here (and each program) has its own flexibility.

Ah, my BSc was only 3yrs which is good because by the third year I was so ready to move on. Of course now I’m working full time I kinda miss uni and all that free time.
well, if i had gone according to schedule, i would’ve only needed 5 more courses in 4th year. but i had taken too many electives in my first 2 years (and needed to improve my marks in a couple courses) to be able to graduate in time.

It’s easy: Gillis is saying ‘x’, raymond’s manager is saying ‘y’. Right now they’re playing a little game of chicken. The manager is like ’we’ll just wait a bit before we commit to you’re 1.8 offer’ and gillis is saying ‘you know what? let’s just see what offer sheets you get out there’. Of course neither of them really wants to see an offer sheet come down.

no need to worry
raymond hasn’t signed his qualifying offer, which means other teams can’t give him an offer sheet. it’s one reason that the qualifying offer was so low, so that he wouldn’t sign it. it basically ensures that the team and his agent negotiate on the way to arbitration, which is exactly what happened with wellfed last year. he likely won’t be signed until right before arbitration, or might even get to arbitration.

that is my understanding of the collective bargaining agreement. i can do a little digging and make sure for you if you like.
ok, after a better reading of the cba...
that was not entirely correct. section 10.2.B states (i paraphrase) if the club or the player request salary arbitration the player is not eligible to negotiate with other clubs.
what this means is that signing the qualifying offer has no bearing on predatory offer sheets, it’s the arbitration that makes a player safe from them. so worry if you need to until arbitration is scheduled, and breathe your sigh of relief then.
i apologize for the confusion.
btw, this is a good reference for offer sheets

Right….missy said trade and I can’t imagine anyone would ever want him. He’s dead weight, bury him in manitoba.

Somebody wanted Boogard at $1.65 million a season though, so why couldn’t there be a market for Hordi too? It makes no sense but apparently enforcers are actually worth something now.
If we get anything for Hordichuk that’s a win for us. Even a 7th round pick is a huge victory.

Sather signed him though and I haven’t seen one person – blogger or MSM – think that was a good move. You just don’t see too many enforcer trades. Maybe bundle him with Bieksa? That’s more likely and we gain $775,000 back in cap space. Done.

I know
Anyone who thinks it was a good move to sign Boogard is a complete dumbass. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t a market for enforcers. Staubitz (former SJ enforcer) was traded not long ago for a 4th round pick or something. Hordichuk is a step below Staubitz but that doesn’t mean he couldn’t nab a 7th rounder.
Or we could just put him on waivers. That works too.

I think Hordi will be placed on waivers. Just my guess. Great leader in the dressing room and all, but it’s time to go

Holy shit
I decided to stream URU vs GHA in my history lecture. THAT SHIT WAS INTENSE. Ghana played well, they have made me and the rest of their African brethren proud. Gyan looks like he’s gonna kill himself though.

That’s amazing. The bidding war for Bieksa’s already begun. At this rate we’ll be seeing a Bieksa-for-Doughty trade by the end of the week, no doubt.
Bieksa for Simmonds or Filatov would still be fucking AMAZING though.

well, now that the top UFA defencemen are signed, everyone’s noticing that we have a couple pretty good quality D to shed. let’s see what gillis does.

Exactly
The whole situation worked out beautifully for us (so far). A couple of teams nabbed the top FA defensemen right away and created gaping holes on other teams that lost out on the bidding wars. Ottawa stole Gonchar, Pittsburgh nabbed Martin and Michalek, NJ took Volchenkov and Tallinder, and we got Hamhuis. Suddenly the teams that really needed them most (LA, Buffalo, Columbus) are out of FA options and have to turn towards the trade route. Making us (and Toronto haha) very profitable in about a week’s time.

Cody Hodgson to skip summer prospects camp
We all agree it is best for Cody to continue his conditioning uninterrupted in Ontario and we look forward to seeing him in training camp," Gilman said.<
I think this was announced before, wasn’t it? Still, it feeds the notion that there is a rift between the two sides, even if there really is not one.
My hopes exceed my expectations
-WeepingTile
I would thinkg the oposite
If they made him go to prospect camp I think the Hodgson side is more insulted. By saying son, we know your good enough you just keep training and we’ll see you at the main camp it shows respect for Cody’s skills + Drive

Yeah, basically this can be interpreted however you like to suit your agenda. I wouldn’t read anything into it unless you’re a certain somewhat who wants to rant about “gillisgan”

Know what’s frustrating? I just talked to a dude here in Smithers and he said Vancouver was Hamhuis’ pick all along. I have been foiled! heheh
I am going to try land an interview with Hammer though, but before I do I’ll have an open forum from you peeps as to what questions you want me to ask. First things first, I need to land the interview
BRILLIANT! He knew you’d post all this shit on here, and then the Canucks brass would read it and think they had to pony up the money to get Hammer to sign. YOU’RE A PAWN, ZAN, A PAWN! And you made me say all those mean things about him… shame on you!

DarrenDreger:
One source suggests the Isles offer to be $10 mil x 10 yrs. Yikes!
(For Kovy that is)
So… Have the Isles not learned anything from the Yashin deal yet? Or the Dipietro deal?

How much money does Mr Wang have anyhow?
Holee jumpin’…
Funny, I thought Garth Snow was a step up from Mad Mike.
He has lots of money. The Isles spend to the cap floor on their team anyways; the Kovalchuk deal at $10 mill a season would JUST put them at the cap floor, so it makes sense for them to go for it. And besides, if your team HAS to spend $10 mill on their roster, why not spend it on a superstar like Kovy?
Follow me on Twitter: here
because in the future when some of their players earn raises a $10 million contract (cap hit) is going to hurt like hell.

I CALLED THIS
Like a week ago. Kovy to the Isles… no one believed me when I said it was gonna be them and not LA. Course, nothing’s set in stone yet… but I don’t think LA wants Kovy enough to pay him that kind of money. The Isles NEED to pay him that kind of money or they’ll be below the cap floor. Besides, there’s next to no chance Kovy would become the next Yashin anyways.

According to NHL Insider Darren Dreger, there are rumblings that the club may make a lucrative, long term contract offer to forward Ilya Kovalchuk. One such source says that an offer could be in the 10-year, $100 million range.
Late on Friday, Islanders general manager Garth Snow confirmed to ESPN via a text message that the club was involved in talking to Kovalchuk.
Right, so before anyone goes handing out Darwin Awards let’s see what happens.
Considering
the Kovalchuk speculation has been very quiet so far, I think this is actually pretty significant. I’m willing to bet it’ll happen. Kovy wants his money.
Follow me on Twitter: here
Well Kovy can take a smoke off the ol pipe. Should he get paid more (with a cap hit) than Crosby or OV8? Hell NO.
sad thing is that Ilya is 27 years old. Anyone want to be paying him $10 million when he’s 37?
God….I’ll believe it when I see it.
by Sean Zandberg on Jul 3, 2010 12:26 AM PDT up reply actions
It seems head-scratching to have Kovalchuk earn more money then Crosby or Ovechkin, but it actually makes sense, and here’s why: in the salary-capped NHL, inflation plays a HUGE role in contract values – if you consider the % of the cap occupied by each player, Crosby and Ovechkin took up roughly 16% of their team’s cap when they signed their contracts. If Kovalchuk signs the rumored $10 million a year deal, he’ll actually be occupying about 15% of his team’s cap. And he’ll probably sign for less then that, too. So really, it does make sense in a way. In the business world, it makes total sense, but to a fan not looking at the business side of things, it’s a real head-scratcher.
I’m sure whatever deal he gets will be front-loaded too, so he’ll make less then $10 mill later. But a $10 mill cap hit would be brutal in 2020, haha.
Follow me on Twitter: here
Don't forget the market.
Not the league-wide one, but the one in New York itself. Wang is pushing hard at an ongoing battle for his Lighthouse Project which is worth billions of dollars, and the Islanders are his PR firm, as the publicly perceived anchor of the project is a new arena.
He needs star power, and Taveres may get there, but not yet. Kovalchuk is a great big name, and his contract may encourage other free agents to look at Long Island as an option – for money, if not for the location or skill set on the ice.
It also sends a message to his team that the Islanders are in the game and looking to win, an encouraging sign in itself. If only the Yashin and DiPietro fiascoes weren’t so fresh in everyone’s minds…
