wounder if the Habs parted ways with one of there 1st round picks

2 of them!

Habs gave up 2 x 1st round picks this year (16 and 17 overall) + an NHL player (Emil Heineman) just to get Dobson so it will be interesting to see over the years who wins this trade.

Also seeing Oilers signed Trent Fredric to 3.85M FOR 8 YEARS….8 years? WOW.

Wow

FACK OFF!!! NOOOOOO

Habs catapult past the leafs.
Ugh.- Fake

You really think this signing puts the Habs in a better place than the Leafs? I don’t, not right now anyway.

As always time will tell.

Elliot reporting Dobson to Montreal with an extension of 9.5M x 8 years.

JT showing these young punks how it’s done – take less so the team can have more.

Love it!

Boooooya!

Jamie Benn re-ups with Dallas

1 M for 1 year with lots of performance bonuses.

That’s a great deal for Dallas, he clearly wants to stay there and is taking less than he could elsewhere.

JT take note and follow suit!

What happened to the formatting on page 12 of this thread ? lol

It’s as messy and terrible as a specific posters constant terrible takes, whining and temper tantrums.

Why would the oilers be interested in either? Gibson sucks, swayman is ok but too expensive.
Besides, Im sure there would be cap retention unless the oilers are unloading a contract of their own the other way.-Fake

To answer your ? as to why – it’s the Oilers! The same Oilers who thought Soupy was the solution to their goaltending woes….I could totally see them going after either of those guys (Gibson or Swayman) to be honest. Not sure what other options are out there and available – maybe they can get Vancouver to trade them Demko since they have Lankinen and Silovs as well.

Demko will be going into his final year of his current deal at 5M.

Well at least two of their core 4 will be the best players in the league, ones that do well in the playoffs and at least their team has consistently made it past the 2nd round.
They have $16m in cap space…$10 of that will be eaten up by bouchard.
Unless they do a bouchard for Dobson trade? – Fake

Don’t like ruin my high bro….I was trying to make myself feel better! lol

Sadly you are right though, 2 of the core 4 (hell Bouchard was a monster 2 years ago in the playoffs too, Nurse is, well Nurse) if the Leafs core had gotten to the cup finals back to back years I’d be all aboard the run it back train!

I do feel like Bouchard is going to be overpaid regardless where he goes, he has a cannon but his Defensive game is m’eh at beast IMO.

a 4th rounder for this year draft.

oh! man.

Yup and no salary retained. The oilers must have someone on their radar….that and clearing cap space for Bouchard.

I think it’s just that they need the cap space badly to sign Bouchard because Dry Saddle jumps from 8.5 last year to 14M this year.

I heard it on Spittin’ Chicklets when Biz was chriping Whitney but it’s kinda true – Oilers are about to enter their “Core 4” era.

Mc Jesus – 12.5

Nurse – 9.25

Bouchard – 10M?

I mean at least it’s 2 F and 2 D but still this is going to put them in a tight spot. Hearing they are going to also try to trade Arvidsson just to clear space and I read that an offer sheet for Bouchard may occur.

Nice to read about these things and it not be about the Leafs for a change. lol
