2019 Offseason (General)

[Polish-Hammer]

Chabot signs massive extension, especially, considering it is the stringy Melnyk Senators.

8 year deal worth $64 million.

Point got signed, cheaply I might add. I think it's 6.75AAV for 3 years.

 

[Polish-Hammer]

Yea, that is super cheap for a player of his ability.


Also Faulk got traded today and got an extension. Carolina pretty much gave him away.

Blues Acquire:
Justin Faulk
5th round pick [2020]

Carolina Acquire:
Joel Edmundson [decent defensive D-man]
Dominik Bokk [Prospect who plays in Sweden]
7th round pick [2021]

Faulk's extension is for 7 years worth $6.5 million per season.

Patrik Laine two-year deal with a $6.75M AAV.

Apparently Rantanen signed 6 years with Avs today. Over 9AAV is rumored.

 

[Polish-Hammer]

SO did Connor, 7 year deal worth $50 total.

 

[Polish-Hammer]

Marleau 1 year deal with SJ worth 700k

Ottawa acquire:
Namestnikov

NYR acquire:
Nick Ebert
4th round pick (2021)

CAP SPACE, although they do retain 750k

 

[Polish-Hammer]

Edmonton Acquire: James Neal

Calgary Acquire: Milan Lucic (Edm retain some salary)

Calgary is looking very bad after this trade.

Neal already has more goals than all of last season.

Score one for Holland.

Didn't know where else to put it but Ilya Kovalchuk released after clearing waivers by the Kings.


Big time player once before injuries.. Kings was just the wrong place, and that contract.

I wrote something up but I guess forgot to hit send. Definitively best place to post this, don't think it merits seperate thread.


I don't think he had any injury issues though. This season the team just told him to stop showing up we don't need you.

He had 9 points in 17 games playing 2nd line minutes which isn't bad. Not the superstar Kovie he once was.

Still he made about 14 million of his 18.x million deal. Not bad for one and a half seasons.

Now he is free to return to KHL or find next NHL team willing to pay him.

I meant from 2012-13 to last season before signing with Kings. Not sure if it was injuries or not. The numbers weren't bad at all.

Nice career for sure. I hope someone gives him a chance.

 

[Polish-Hammer]

I don't think Kovie ever missed much time.

Even when SKA won the Gagarin cup, it was old man Datsyuk who was hurt for final 2+ rounds of the playoffs.

Even when Russian team takes picture with Putin, Kovie takes center stage. Datsyuk hiding in the background.

They even let Kovie wear the C, although Datsyuk was Captain. Kovie was stipped of his captaincy at SKA a while before Datsyuk arrived.


Still no Stanley Cup for him.
Olympic Gold - yes
Gagarin Cup - yes (x2)
World Championship - yes (x2)

 

[Polish-Hammer]

Holy shit, just noticed half of Marchenko's face in that Putin picture.
