aaronward_nhl: Matt Carkner 3 yrs to Isles. #TSN

Garth Snow offered him "All our draft picks free agent money"

$1.5M per season.

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

Ottawa offered 1 year 750K apparently.

3 years 4.5 is an easy decision for Colton Orr's punching bag Matt Carkner

 

[Tigger]

Konopka and Carkner? The tough guy vacuum in full force, yikes.

TSNBobMcKenzie: Rumor is OTT is trading Nick Foligno to OTT for Marc Methot.

I know it's early to call a winner but I'm going to have to go with Ottawa.

I'm not sure. Methot's a good defensive guy, but he's injury prone. Expecting much more than 60 games from him is unrealistic. Foligno, on the other hand, looks like he could be a solid secondary scorer and brings a good physical presence. I'd be inclined to side with the Jackets on this one.

I think he meant in the tweet, Bmac said Ottawa is trading with Ottawa.

 

[Deebo]

Apparently they are bringing in Latendresse to replace Foligno.

Ha. I totally didn't even notice that. This deal has been confirmed, BTW.

 

[Sucker Punch]

If we get Suter, all will be forgiven.

So far though, I don't like anything Murray's done today.

EDIT: Helluva contract for Carkner, though.    Happy for him, but that's too much money over too long a term for a defenseman who should be spending half the season in the press box.

 

[bustaheims]

Methot has 3 more years @ $3M per.

 

[Sucker Punch]

Over the past 5 years, Latendresse has averaged 32 games played per season.

 

[princedpw]

Over the past 5 years, Latendresse has averaged 32 games played per season.

Is that because of injury?  If so, he's worse than Antropov multiplied by Carlo Colaiacovo.

Madferrat....oh the humanity (of this deal)!!!!!!!

ian_mendes: Murray confirms Nash wouldn't waive NTC to come to Ottawa. "There was no sense in chasing - we didn't feel that was necessary."

 

[BlueWhiteBlood]

TSNBobMcKenzie: Rumor is OTT is trading Nick Foligno to Columbus for Marc Methot.

Isn't that a bad trade for Ottawa? I think I'd rather have Foligno than I would Methot.

 

[Madferret]

Couple of cheap depth pick-ups, tough to see Foligno go but I really like the Methot trade, he'll fit in to our top 4 nicely.

 

[Madferret]

Marc Methot
Height: 6-3
Weight: 222
Born: Jun 21, 1985
Salary: 3M - under contract until 2015
