My guess is that Skinner goes to a surefire contender for a minimal deal. He's made $100M and played zero playoff games. Wouldn't totally rule it out, but I don't think the Isles are going to be high on his list.

Pinto I am very interested in

I have to agree chief. Skinner will look for a more sure-fire spot.

Talk that the Preds are going to get Stamkos. Barry was ours.

So far, Rangers are struggling in UFA for a change.

Or they're just not active. Who knows. Dreger has them in on Drouin and there was some talk about Teravainen too

edit: Nevermind, I didn't catch that he went back to Chicago.

I'm just not sure there is that player that can get the Rangers over the top.

Chychrun to the Caps for Jensen and 2026 3rd

Lebrun:
As reported earlier but now a done deal, Steven Stamkos, Jonathan Marchessault and Brady Skjei all agree to terms in Nashville.
Stamkos, 4 years x $8 M AAV
Marchessault, 5 years x $5.5 M AAV
Brady Skjei, 7 years x $7 M

Damn, Barry.

I so wanted Barry to take over for Lou. I think Barry had his heart on the Preds.

When Barry was Islander coach, he did not have this impact during UFA season.

That’s cause he wasn’t the guy offering out the contracts.

I'm just venting schwein.

The Shane Pinto talk makes me nervous. While I definitely would like to unload Pageau at this point, throwing in another 1st rd pick and possibly more for Pinto concerns me a bit. I'm just not sure I'm as sold on him as others.

If that's the ask then no thanks. They can take a stab at trying to offer sheet him.

No way I give up a #1 especially if 2025 is a strong draft.

- chazpet

I don't hate adding him honestly, it would depend on the contract. And I don't have a great deal of confidence that it wouldn't be something like 6 or 7 years at like $3M

One year for Reilly makes sense. I hope Bolduc gets a good look.


4 Years for Duclair is better than 6 or 7.

Waiting to see what the money is before I have an opinion. I'm guessing $4Mx4. If it's less, that's good. If it's more...depends on how much more

Less would be good. Do you think Duclair is a good fit for the 1st line?
