2014-2015 Minor Trades and Signings Thread

Edmonton fans will justify it by saying they won't be anywhere near the cap anyway, but the simple fact that their defence is so bad that they felt they had to grossly overpay a guy like Nikitin should speak volumes to how horribly that team has been managed.

Yup. At least, it's only a 2 year deal, but that is a substantial overpayment.

 

[Corn Flake]

Nikitin is the new Pete Peters.

 

[Champ Kind]

Aportzline: #Oilers have signed D Nikita Nikitin. #CBJ will get a 5th-round draft pick.

FriedgeHNIC: Nikitin with EDM is 2 yes, $9M

That's a lot of money for the guy with my favourite name in hockey.

Great name, no doubt.  But how does anyone beat Jordan Tootoo?

Because I don't see Tootoo constantly butting heads with Rocky and Bullwinkle.

I'd give my right eyelid to be the guy who came up with "Boris Badinov."

The St. Louis Blues have agreed to a new three-year deal with restricted free agent forward Patrik Berglund.

Berglund and the Blues reached the deal - believed to be worth an average annual value of $3.7 million - Thursday night.

The Chicago Blackhawks locked up a couple of pieces on Friday, reportedly re-signing restricted free agents Ben Smith and Antti Raanta.

Both will be returning to the Hawks on two-year deals.

Brandon Bollig was traded to Calgary for their 3rd round pick (Matheson Iacopelli) earlier today.

 

[BlueWhiteBlood]

The Winnipeg Jets have signed defenceman Adam Pardy to a one-year, $700,000 extension. The 30 year old signed with the Jets as an unrestricted free agent last July. He played 60 games with the club collecting six assists while being a plus four.

 

[Deebo]

Del Zotto will not be qualified and will hit the UFA market tomorrow.

 

[bustaheims]

In addition to Del Zotto, a number of once highly thought of young players did not receive QO's - Zac Dalpe, Jordan Schroeder, Keaton Ellerby, TJ Galiardi . . . there's some interesting potential reclamation projects out there.

I'd try to sign Ellerby if it was me.

 

[bustaheims]

I'd try to sign Ellerby if it was me.

I'm not sure I would. He's probably in the "there's better options on the Marlies" range. Maybe as a 7th defenceman. Maybe.

I meant as a 7th. I like his size, but I suppose you may be right about the Marlies having options for that spot. We do have a lot of defenders on the bubble.

The Los Angeles Kings have re-signed defenceman Jeff Schultz to a two-year 1.7 Million contract.

 

[BlueWhiteBlood]

The Winnipeg Jets re-signed right winger Chris Thorburn to a three-year, $3.6 million deal on Monday night.

As per @TSNBobMcKenzie, Montreal Canadiens sign Manny Malhotra, one year, $850k

Decent signing, not sure I would have been interested in him but you can't really go wrong at $850k.

StapeNewsday: #Isles sign G Chad Johnson.

DarrenDreger: Chad Johnson signs with Islanders. 2 yr. approx 1.3 aav.
