VGK signed R. Andersson for 8 x $8.5m and are now $5.125m over the cap with only 17 players signed. Going to be interesting to follow them this summer. Has to be Hertl, Stone or both moving on.

Stone is a right shot right wing on a short term deal.

That would be quite the scene if he ends up here lmao.

I'll give them Zach Dean back for Stone

I'd so love to have Mark Stone. Even at his age. Effing winner.

I thought Anderson was mediocre in the playoffs. I would have hated seeing the Blues give a guy like that an 8-year deal, but I’m happy to see Vegas do it.

NMC. Good luck convincing him to go to a tax state.

We are signing Ross Johnston from Anaheim

If so, that spells the end for Toro or Walker. Johnston will be a much better 4th line menace than either of those two.

He probably doesn’t even make the team.
Other than PIM’s, he doesn’t add much.

The guy that signed for 3 years won't make the team?

He shouldn’t.
He’s terrible at actually playing hockey. We’d probably get just as much by bringing Thorburn or Bortz out of retirement.
Not a good signing IMO.

It takes a lot of different pieces for the puzzle. Steener is trying to get these guys to be a unit. Ross Johnston doesn’t add much skill at all but that’s not why the signed him. Every guy in that locker room loves that move today guaranteed.

Trouba got a nice deal from the Sharks. Really looking forward to watching the Sharks next season.

He sure did. Sharks are going to be a force very soon. Maybe not this season, but they are building something special.

Looks like 1 year 4.5 mil

Catchment now Trouba. I think I’ll adopt them as my 2nd team.

Would rather have seen us do this than sign Dube.

[BleedingBleu]

Matt Kessel off to the Isle. So long!

Must have gotten input from Schenn…

How will history remember the Matt ( don’t call me Phil) Kessel era?

This whole time I’ve been referring to him as “Kevin”
