Around the NHL (Off-Season Edition)
Post any type of deals or trades in the NHL.
Via Bob McKenzei
PIT acquires right to Tomas Vokoun from WSH for 7th rd pick. Which suggests Vokoun's new contract in PIT is likely done or will be shortly.
Vokoun has agreed to terms on a two year deal with PIT.Vokoun gets $2M per year on the two year deal.
^^^ Whoa, great deal for the Penguins.
What the hell is up with Vokoun just pissing money away with his last two contracts?
Sami Lepisto signs wityh Lokomotiv in KHL
James Mirtle via twitter:
Vokoun had permission to speak with other teams, and several were interested in more than one year.
Larry Brooks of the NY Post:
Rangers GM Glen Sather has talked to the Predators about RFA Alexander Radulov. Radulov has a big offer on the table from CKSA of the KHL. A source has told the Post that Radulov would rather play in the NHL next season. The Rangers are more than just kicking tires on Radulov.
Habs selected Therrien as their new coach?

Alexander Radulov likely done with Predators, negotiating with KHL - NHL - Sporting News
looks like KHL is the favorite.
he would have a good drinking buddy in kane.
Say what you want about Kaner, but I don't recall him ever getting in trouble for breaking curfew the night before a freaking playoff game.
I think Radulov's actions have made it rather clear that his aspirations are for playing hockey in Russia, not the NHL.

I'd take a pass on Radulov. He is a RFA and would be demanding some pretty good money based on what he gets in Russia (and tax free too).Originally Posted by tbo41fan
Also, he has some amazing skill but he can be lazy and one dimensional at times. The Blackhawks really need a skilled player who can bring it every night and do so with some useful grit. Obviously these players don't just grow on trees but the type of player I'm thinking of is a Malone, Clowe, Ladd, etc. Right now the Blackhawks have too many finesse players on the front end and Radulov would just add to that.
Maybe, but I think he would be a great linemate for Toews...
I don't think there is a doubt that Radulov would add more talent to the team. The question is it worth it given the amount of cap space he is likely to command. I am not certain that is the case.
Warning, the following may be Not Safe For Work or a storyline spoiler.
his cap hit would be an issue that's true, but unloading bloated salaries like Frolik could soften the blow
especially if Montador or *gulp* Hossa has to go on LTIR
Tim Thomas may sit out all of next season.
Tim Thomas confirms he will take a year off - BostonHerald.com
He recently confirmed that he will be taking the year off
To go off this post and the other Radulov talk. It looks like Radulov will definitely not be a part of the Preds next year (as most assumed).
Report: Preds to trade Radulov or release him back to KHL
Radulov for Frolik and a pick
what makes you think we can just dump a shitty player for him?Radulov for Frolik and a pick
Also, this is far from what the hawks need at the moment. Ive been saying this for months now that the lines are too 1 dimensional. skilled forwards are what they are. they need some skilled/physical players....players having both accolades instead of one. the hawks last offseason tried to balance that out with getting 1 dimensional physical type players.
so....pass
Because they are trading him or releasing him...they would want to get something rather than nothing
and 2nd, as it looks right now, carcillo is one of our top 6 forwards. Would you rather have carcillo or Radulov in your top 6?
Ill take Radulov
breaking news!!!! offseason hasnt started yet.
breaking news!!!!
that's why I said 'as it looks right now'
there is no point in asking me about carcillo since the offseason hasnt started yet.
Everything is mostly speculation right now (especially in this forum, just look around at the threads) as the NHL hasn't gotten into the full swing of the offseason yet, so I don't get the harm in his question. However, we all did see a pretty big trade/move in Vokoun the other day and clearly the Preds will pull the trigger on Radulov whenever they went.
Dan Carcillo anywhere other than the 4th line next year is a bad idea.
And there are options out there for the Hawks to add a top 6 forward, but Radulov should not be one of them. Unless the Hawks decide to play all their games in Moscow next year.
