2. Trotz reportedly made $1.5M last season. Coach salaries aren’t public, but, from what I understand, that is lower than anyone currently under contract who has won a Stanley Cup.
Anaheim’s Randy Carlyle is believed to be around $2 million. Peter Laviolette and John Tortorella are believed to be in the mid-twos. Dan Bylsma (still under contract to Buffalo) and Mike Sullivan are three-ish. Darryl Sutter’s last deal was $3.5 million. Claude Julien’s contract has been publicly reported at five, while Mike Babcock and Joe Quenneville are over six.
as championship teams tend to overpay everyone, the Caps are probably gonna overpay everyone
Trotz almost got fired this season, then they ran good in the playoffs, now he's gonna get a fat extension instead
and then fired in 1.5 years probably lol

3. It’s well known that Orpik pressed for Oshie to be re-signed last summer. MacLellan agreed, saying the winger’s positive attitude was essential.
ya the next 7 years of Timothy Jimothy are gonna be awesome
gjge GM Orpik lol
though maybe it's worth it for 1 RANG? sure why not
Quote:
6. Beagle is an unrestricted free agent, and centres are hard to find.
thoughts + prayers to whoever overpays him
Quote:
9. A Marc-Andre Fleury extension seems certain.
speaking of a guy that is gonna get way overpaid...

10. Word is one of the biggest hang-ups at the end was Cody Glass, drafted sixth overall last June. Vegas didn’t want to include him.
The Knights have just one pick in the top three rounds (a second), and since they’re still creating a prospect pool, a Karlsson deal could be very tricky. It’s why they’re being linked to John Carlson, because he only costs you money.
so reading between the lines, Vegas was ok trading Nick Suzuki, but not Cody Glass
tough call
and signing John Carlson instead of trading stuff for Erik Karlsson (and taking Bobby Ryan's contract) might be a good Plan A actually

11. Remember: you must use your own original picks, not those acquired from somewhere else.

RFA compensation for this summer ^
wonder if we'll see an offer sheet this year with the cap where it is
Quote:
12. The NHLPA hopes to let the league know by June 18 how much it will raise the salary cap for 2018-19.
The league indicated the limit will be between $78-$82 million, with the players having the option to raise the ceiling by up to five per cent.
where the cap is ^
Quote:
14. I do think Montreal is a stealth destination for unrestricted free-agent-to-be Jack Johnson.
lolololololol
Quote:
15. There were reports Montreal began some preliminary discussions with Max Pacioretty, who is one season away from unrestricted free agency. There’s a serious sense that those brief discussions are being prompted by other teams curious to hear what the winger is looking for on an extension.
Somehow, Los Angeles is going to add scoring, and I can see the Kings being one of the clubs involved.
Quote:
16. The Kings have been linked to Jeff Skinner. Enter Florida in that market. The Panthers, who narrowly missed the playoffs after a late-season charge, are looking to add.
Kings gonna do *something* in an effort to convince Doty to stay
Quote:
17. I have a theory on Dundon: when he said everyone was available (except Sebastian Aho and Martin Necas), his real goal was to learn the trade value of all the players.
sure, why not
Quote:
18.Trade that might only make sense to me: Scott Darling for Marian Hossa, with the Hurricanes keeping money on the goalie.
Blackhawks clear cap room and gain security if Corey Crawford is unavailable. Carolina can go elsewhere in net and save actual dollars.
Mean Gene Melnyk so jelly bout dat salary relief
Quote:
20. After his Game 5 scratch versus Nashville, Tobias Enstrom let Winnipeg know he won’t be returning. The Jets/Thrashers are the only franchise he’s known during his NHL career, but it’s time for a change.
There have been some talks between the team and Paul Stastny, but it doesn’t sound too in-depth. As Winnipeg prepares to pay the price for good drafting/development plus success, I wonder about someone like Mathieu Perreault. He might be at a number the Jets can’t afford. You have to think there’d be interest.
Jets news ^
Quote:
23. Pittsburgh has shown legit interest in Max Domi – there’s a long history between Tie Domi and Mario Lemieux.
Toronto is looking for a third-line centre, Tampa Bay a right-shot defenceman.
I’m curious to see what the Rangers do with Vladislav Namestnikov. He’s arbitration eligible, and the numbers are very good.
good to know
Quote:
26.The market for Philipp Grubauer starts with Carolina and the Islanders. We’ll see if it grows from there.
Darling out, Grubauer in
ok sure whatever
i like how these teams without a goalie just keep rolling the dice on these random dudes until they strike gold
Quote:
29. It’s believed assistant GM Mike Futa — linked to almost every job opening in existence — signed an extension with Los Angeles.
Mark Hunter, involved in almost as many rumours, has been linked to Detroit, Montreal and the Islanders. We’ll see. He’s (officially) unavailable until July 15.
front office news ^
bonus note from Dreger:
Quote:
Ilya Kovalchuk in California this weekend. Visited with the LA Kings yesterday and will meet with the Sharks tomorrow.
another option for the Kings
doesn't cost them anything, other than the cap space that they don't have
