Not me. I can deal with an on-ice shitbag to some extent, but Bertuzzi' anti-vax selfishness makes him impossible to get behind, no matter what team he plays for. I'm out.

He's also a world renowned epidemiologist.

In what world do people exist that they think that having a facepuncher in the lineup "protects" players? This has been disproven constantly and yet it still gets brought up as some kind of irrefutable logic.

I had more time for a potential Nylander trade based upon being stuck on an extension overpay, but watching Treiliving today assign space to a)garbage and b)declining, heavily flawed high risk - I'd sooner he just gave Nylander the 10M, hide under some coats, and see if the top 6 can get them...

when he has d zone coverage issues I hereby patent the right to call him static klingberg

Interesting-ish. He played really well for Chicago and then Dallas in the playoffs.

Wow, the AAV is more that I thought he'd get. Good for him.

Although I hate the deal and what it represents, I'm willing to under the assumption that they didn't go completely insane and structure it such that it can't be buried. Surely Pridham still has some input.

Or, you know, a GM can actually acquire players that are valuable additions over the length of their contracts, especially in the short term and not have to plan to bury anything.

He's borderline unplayable now, and will be completely unplayable in years 2 and 3. It's just a absurdly pointless signing.

They've still got Clifford if they wanted a face puncher, and I'd wager he's just as good at hockey. If they're at an impasse with Nylander because they're 1.3 million apart (which it sounds like they are), but sign Reaves, this is going to look even worse.

I think it's probably hard to go hard after UFAs until they can get they get Nylander's extension worked out (or more likely, not worked out). I'd wager he'll be traded in the next day or two. 

That actually sounds pretty reasonable. Shame

Dinosaur GM move. I'm missing dubas already.

Yeah, that's too steep. Baffling overpay for Nashville. You bought out duchene to make these kind of deals?

I'd give Schenn more money on a shorter term - say 2.5 on a 2yr. If they're going to throw money at an absolute plug like Reaves, why not spend a bit on an actually useful player that brings some back-end toughness?

Ekman-Larsson to Panthers 2.25, 1 yr.

Reaves? The guy who's made a career of running around the ice trying to injure players within the bounds of the rules? And a 3 year deal at 36? Unimpressed.

I can't read a discussion of the draft without being reminded of Bill Burr's bit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsWY6BOIO9I

Good lord no
