Missed that. Makes sense.dave94 said:Everyone with their sweater retired is automatically in the Hall of Fame.bagger05 said:

Tkachuk opted out of a deal with the Flames and listed Dallas as a potential landing spot…No thanks.
We'd have to give up quite a bit to make it work anyway.
Everything rubs me the wrong way about Tkachuk. But I got over the Corey Perry signing.

Seeing him chewing on that mouthguard all game long would drive me crazy... but as soon as he scored a few goals I'm sure I'd get over it.

My thoughts as well. Get rid of Benn and Seguin and make it happen.
Rumored to be in mix with some star players who could be on move. Good players avail in addition to Matt Tkachuk

Not Tkachuk. He gone to the Panthers.
That's what I'd call a blockbuster.
Full trade, per sources:

To #FlaPanthers:
Matthew Tkachuk (extension in place)
To #Flames:
Jonathan Huberdeau, MacKenzie Weegar, Cole Schwindt and a 1st round pick.@DailyFaceoff
Anyone else following the Hockey Canada scandal? Absolutely sickening.
I don't know if anything will get turned up about current NHLers but would expect some huge suspensions if so

Absolutely terrible and sickening. Heads should roll, and gulity parties should be permanently removed from the game, regardless of who it is.
I have only heard vaguely about it. Was it a lot of sexual exploits of Canadien hockey players and possibly rape/sexual assault?
Accusations of some pretty serious sexual assault/rape by junior teams and Hockey Canada has apparently been using their "Equity Fund" made up of registration fees by players to quietly settle lawsuits from the alleged victims without doing anything else to address the claims
Seems to be a general sense that more stuff will come out over time, too.

That is f'd up.
Klingberg fired his agent today. Interesting development. Maybe agent was asking too much or not working in Klinger's best interests? Sounds kind of similar to the baseball Freddie Freeman situation where supposedly the agent didn't tell him about a better Atlanta offer and he signed with the Dodgers
I've been thinking someone screwed something up somewhere. The only teams still rumored to be pursuing him have no cap space at the moment. Sounds like they tried to play the waiting game and it bit him big time. Not saying he won't sign and get a big payday, but he missed out on the best deal(s) he could have had. Most teams (including the Stars) moved on to their plan B, C, etc.
I would love to have Klinger back next year...wish they could have worked something out. Did anything ever come out about what the friction was?
Cap space. The cap is basically still flat, and the Stars have young guys that needed/will need new contracts. Klinger was the odd man out because everyone else is already locked up (Benn, Seguin, Esa, Miro, etc.)
I think they're really going to miss him this year, especially since DeBoer's system seems perfect for Klingberg's skill set. According to Nill, getting forward help was top priority though. Without the Marchment deal, they probably could have made the numbers work. Hopefully it pays off.

That's what I figured. Sucks though.
Just saw that Klingberg signed a 1 year deal with Anaheim

Good luck to him. He ended up in a crappy situation last season and his performance was abysmal. After lackluster couple of seasons, it was time.
Don't like this one bit
Latest news with the Stars is that we're trying to work a trade for Patrick Kane.
No offense to the stars but I figured Kane would go to a contender.

Sign Kane and the Stars become contenders with Otter in net.
We'd have to give up draft picks and high profile, promising prospects to make it work though. Not sure if Nill wants to do that.
**For me personally, I would like to keep the prospects (Bourque, Johnson, Stankoven, etc.) and bring in a high profile D-man instead. But that will have to wait for another time…
When you have Jake Ottinger as your Goalie. You are a contender.

Middle of the pack =/= contender.
Kane doesn't really get me excited for some reason. Great hands and great passer obviously, but whenever I watch him play he seems to just coast around waiting for the puck rather than digging in on the walls.
92 points last year though.

Jeff Marek said Friday that he believes the Stars offered Klingberg 8 years at $7 million AAV earlier in the year, but Klingberg's camp wanted closer to 8x8 (which Marek reported at the time). If his agent told him not to take that, you can pretty well understand why he moved on.

If his agent told him NOT to take that then his agent is a dumbass.
yeah that's a damn good salary for that long in the NHLKashchei said:

Interesting. The miss on the market for him explains the 1 year deal. Will be interesting to see where he ends up after that.
If that was offered and turned down, terrible decision by Klingberg and his camp.
But how could the Stars possibly afford to offer that deal to him?
