Beaulieu deserves an NHL job somewhere
I see a bunch of players on this list that I would like to become Penguins.
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, but…still.
FYI re: NYR link to blueseatblogs.com
Hmm, yes I thought I had Claesson on there. Thanks for the others.
Was Tobias Reider really that bad in Edmonton?
If not for Toby Rieder, EDM would’ve brought home the President’s Trophy…

According to a tweet for the Capitals PR, the Caps did tender a contract to Colby Williams
Maybe the Pens will bring Josh Archibald back again
Colby Williams did receive a qualifying offer. link to m.washingtontimes.com
Cousins, Hartman, Soshnikov stick out as 3 guys who will certainly be playing in the NHL somewhere. I wonder how many of these non deals are designed specifically to expedite UFA status. Handshake deal to re-sign and hit the free market faster if things don’t pan out.
^ Soshnikov already signed in the KHL, I believe
I mean he didn’t score a goal.. as bad as EDM is I mean on the same team as McDavid could and should get you some goals even if you don’t play on his line a whole lot. Even playing with Draisaitl should bet you some goals but not Rieder. He almost seemed to have the yips. Good scoring chance and just missed the net or right into the goalies chest.
PeeweeG…good call, I didnt see that :)
