Lafferty wtf

I haven't seen that posted anywhere.

Think it was prediction. Isles sign him to 2 x 4M.

As with all these things, too early to get pissed or excited. Let the offseason play out.

If when they ice a team for the first game and there's a young guy getting blocked, then i agree the move doesn't make any sense.

Agreed you have a point bear. If anything hopefully the penalty kill will be better with Lafferty and Michayev spelling?

As captainserious mentioned, maybe a penalty killer/veteran will be moved?
D!ckenson perhaps the best candidate?

They're about $4.4 mill above the salary floor right now. And that's without Weber going on LTIR. One open roster spot remaining. We haven't played this version of Armchair GM before.

Expandng on this, do they sign a guy like Ehlers to get above the floor comfortably, or do they trade for Cary Price's contract so they can trade some of the placeholders when the time comes to do so?

Ian Mitchell reunited with Kane in Detroit. I didn't know Kaner had that much pull with Yzerman.

Kane needs somebody to drive his father back and forth from Buffalo.

Not sure why KD acquired Lafferty? He’s basically the same guy as three or four other veterans already on the team and it clogs the pipeline for young Rockford players. I’d much sooner see Slaggert or Savoie make mistakes than watching veteran forwards making mistakes.

The Blackhawks will retire Lafferty's number.

We couldn't out bid $787?

We aren't really going to be female doging about not getting Pezzetta are we?

You new here? 🤣

Kurashev to SJS, 1.3 m

Kurashev signs with SJ.

Interesting that Pridham decided to go back to Kitchener instead of going to BU. Seems he liked his progression there better and is looking to earn a contract with CHI as soon as possible.

SJS 30m under the cap floor. Shea Weber for a 1st?

That might be another player coming in next year. Already Frondell, Vanacker, Spellacy, Kantserov, maybe Pridham and Boisvert too.

Doesn't want to go to class.

I can't believe the whining and moaning over on CHGO about the Hawks.

Its like Glencoe Steve took over a program manager.

WTF was KD supposed to do today? There was literally no one left in FA.

And Sam Lafferty being the straw that broke the camels back on the rebuild

Isn't this the third time he has traded for Lafferty?

When we got Lafferty prior to July 1 last year, it was great, but he decided to sign with Buffalo. Now we get him in a trade and he's horrible? He is what he is, bottom 6 energy. Hasn't changed from when we wanted him last year.

Agree. I thought Drouin might have been a possible target. Other than that....

It stems from the fact that everyone in the organization has said that a similar result to last year was not acceptable and they've not really made any additions that would move the needle in that direction. Lafferty is kind of viewed as just a guy, and might possibly block a kid from taking a spot on a lower line.

I get the consternation (I'm kind a miffed myself), but also agree that Lafferty is an inconsequential move.

Let's see what turns out with the rest of the offseason and then reconvene.

- totem

Sure! They've only got 14 contracts on the big league books right now, so they'll have to do something for sure. I'm actually really interested to see what they do with their space.

Yeah wtf is happening. He also had 7 pts in 60 games last season so why clog up a spot meant for a young guy
- Assman22

He is easy to bury or move if a young guy earns the spot.
