Pulock is ok. But I wanted Fucale. Especially since the Islanders literally used every pick on defensemen last year.

They are drafting smart. Reinhart, Hamonic, Pullock, De Haan, MacDonald are a friggen solid core. Defence wins you games.

I still really wanted the Islanders to take Fucale. That's no knock on Pulock, who I think can be very good - I just feel the Isles already have a lot of depth at defense and they very much need to get a goalie of the future. Also a bit disappointed with giving up on Niederreiter so early. I know his agent had asked for a trade, but he was still young so I would have like for them to have tried and smoothed things over. The Islanders had a good offense last year, but they don't have much organizational offensive depth if people get hurt.

You can never have too much depth on defence. Teams covet it. Plus it can easily be dealt for an established goaltender.
It only cost the Leafs a 2nd and Matt Frattin/Ben Scrivens for Jonathan Bernier. |

Islanders bought out Rick DiPietro's contract today. ESPN compared that horrible contract to another from MLB.
Guaranteed about $1.5 million per year but won't count against the cap for the Islanders. |

Bs-Stars pulled off a big 7-player trade today.
Bs get: Loui Eriksson Reilly Smith (prospect) Matt Fraser (prospect) Joe Morrow (prospect) Stars get: Tyler Seguin Rich Peverley Ryan Button Bs had hinted going into the offseason they wouldn't have been able to keep Peverly for next season because the cap is too tight. Seguin getting traded was more due to him being owed too much money and some off-ice concerns more than him having a bit of a down year in terms of expectations. Stars are going to benefit a lot with Seguin as long as they can quickly settle the issues with his off-ice stuff. |

Daniel Alfredsson signed a 1-year deal with the Red Wings.
Nathan Horton signed a 7-year, $37.1 million deal with the Blue Jackets. |

Steve Dangle whose Leafs podcast had a great line
The good news is, the Leafs have a lot of money to spend The bad news is, the Leafs have a lot of money to spend. Loooooove Clarkson. Big part of me wants Matt Cooke. Can you imagine the douchebag line of Cooke-Bolland-Clarkson |

I feel like there's enough toughness now without Cooke. Another proven goal scorer would be nice, but I feel like they're likely done for the most part.

Saw the cover of the Toronto Sun today was like "Thanks, Boston!" for trading Tyler Seguin. Like what fucking sense does that make? He's still a great player we don't have.

I would probably throw some offer sheets out there
Winnipeg has 4 million RFA's so offer Zach Bogosian something or something. Or Alex Pietrangelo from St. Louis. |

You need your picks. That'd cost you multiple first rounders. The Avs are a couple years away.

That's true, although I do love me some Pietrangelo
I actually thought they didn't have a first round pick this year anyway, but apparently they do. So that's good to know. |
