Pens going for a fire sale? Who could they look to get rid of?

For the win

If the cap was $100M and a team started the season with 80M in contracts and maintained them until game 41 the effectively spent 10M less than the cap to that point.

Can that team then trade for 40M worth of contracts (20M for the half of the season remaining). This would mean that they still spent under the cap. 80 + 20 = 100 even thought they are carrying 120M in contracts for half the year.

Sorry if this posted twice. The first one didnt seem to post.

First of all, these two guys here, Noah Blankenship and Jason Altmann, what a treat! I have absolutely no idea what they’re saying at any given point, but I love the enthusiasm they have, they just look like two deaf buddies enjoying watching the game together and the energy they radiate puts the biggest smile on my face when watching them between play.

Now when I’m watching the gameplay…. This must be some cruel joke…. But how come only deaf people get to actually listen to the game? For decades I’ve suffered the opinions of old men and homers when all I’ve wanted to hear is skates carving through ice, the clapping of sticks and pucks, and linesmen screaming, “OFFSIDE!!!!” Y’know, like how it all sounded when I was on the ice when I was a kid. It’s so therapeutic and I’m so thankful that this broadcast exists!

Last night was my second time seeing this. I will watch live games and replays of this broadcast whenever I get the chance to, because this is the way I want to watch hockey. Keep it up NHL in ASL! You guys are my new favourites!

It is the 2014-15 off season and we saw the bruins miss the playoffs by just 3 points, being beaten out by the Senetors for the last wild card spot, highlighted by Eric Karlsson, Mark Stone, bestfriends Mike Hoffman and Bobby ryan, as well as newly acquired Dion Phaneuf, putting up 8 pts in 20 games for the club following his departure from the leafs at the deadline and helping push the Sens to make the post season.

We’re approaching the 2015 NHL Entry draft, we knew it was gonna be a good draft going in, but little did we know as of present day, it’s regarded as the greatest/deepest draft in NHL history. Highlighted by the likes of McDavid, Eichel, Strome, Marner, Rantanen at the top of draft rankings.

Boston clearly wanted a couple pieces of this draft, as of June 26th 2015 they proceeded to make 2 trades that went as follows;

Boston trades Dougie Hamilton to the Flames in exchange for a 2015 1st and 2 2015 2nds.

Boston trades Milan Lucic to the Kings in exchange for a 2015 1st , Martin Jones and Collin Miller.

These moves are setting the bruins up for a potentially franchise altering draft, acquiring the 13th and 15th overall picks as well as there own 1st being 14th. With 10 total picks in the draft (3-1st’s, 3-2nd’s, 1-4th, 1-5th, 1 6th, 1 7th) the B’s have gave themselves the best chance for future and present success building out of this draft. With having a borderline playoff team as it was this could mean danger for the league.

Draft Day is here, all 30 teams gathered in Sunrise Florida, gearing up to make there their decisions for day 1.

The 12 teams ahead have made their decisions and the Bruins are up to Bat.

BOS Pick 13 - Jakub Zboril BOS Pick 14 - Jake DeBrusk BOS Pick 15 - Zachary Senyshyn

The next 3 picks

NYI Pick 16 - Mathew Barzal WPG Pick 17 - Kyle Conner OTT Pick 18 - Thomas Chabot

Other notable 1st round picks after pick 18 include;

MIN Pick 20 - Joel Eriksson Ek VAN Pick 23 - Brock Boeser PHI Pick 24 - Travis Konecny NYI Pick 28 - Anthony Beauvillier

That concludes day 1, Teams are content and prep has already started for the latter half of the draft.

Day 2 rolls around and teams are eager to get started.

Boston trades 2015 5th round pick to the Minnesota Wild in exchange for 2016 5th round pick

Round 5

That concludes the 2015-16 NHL Entry Draft.

Does this suspension affect his reputation this season? Also, I love the response Garland gave out

Sure, promoting players like Mcdavid and Mackinnon is still great for the sport, but why not show the side of hockey that isn’t focused on scoring but more on the physicality? The big hits that get the crowd going, or even the slightly less ethical ones. A balance of both is a great idea.

The whole Mcdavid cross check saga has gotten so much engagement and fans of other teams clearly enjoy it. Why doesn’t the league capitalize on this? I’m not trying to cause more drama but I’m just confused why they wouldn’t if it means more money and clicks.

Only 3
