You never want to lose a sniper like Kovalchuk, but this helps the Devils more than it hurts.
They aren't paying him anything. Contract is void. They get a $250k (or so) cap hit for the duration of the contract. They're in debt as it is and this has rid them of a huge contract. They weren't...
I wish I could have seen the Bulin wall in Boston but guess they're sticking with Svedberg as backup. He could probably use another year in the AHL though.
All in all, what a crazy first day.
Exactly. At the time, it turned out to be an overpayment. In the end it doesn't matter because the Leafs got their guy and, for the most part, it's worked out.
Also, if he was even remotely consistent, Horton would have been the best offensive winger since Kessel. When he wants to be, he's a...
I'm saying, though, that him being traded is irrelevant to the deal. Because if being traded has merit, then Boston still wins. They turned one player into three and then took one of those three and turned him into four. By that logic, Kessel became six players. Too many variables to mess with...
Seguin, Peverley and Ryan Button for Eriksson, Joe Morrow, Riley Smith and Matt Fraser. Clears up cap space and fills a void at RW, but still a bit shocking.
Lot's of shit being thrown around about Seguin's "off-ice issues". I don't buy it. Not that he doesn't party, but that it was so bad...
You don't want to dilute the division too, though. There's a reason why people love teams like the Usos or PTP. It's evident when a team has been together for years compared to one that was just slapped together.
Is Fucale considered a steal? He went around where he should have, and the only team that should have picked him and passed was Calgary. At this point, though, we shouldn't be surprised with Calgary's ineptness haha
Still a great pick.
