2014-2015 NHL Offseason/Regular Season Thread

[CaliforniaChief]

Free Agency starts today. I'm probably the worst candidate to keep up an OP with player movement and the like, but figured it would be cool to have a repository for all things NHL leading up to next season.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anaheim acquires Kesler from Canucks for Bonino, Sbisa, and picks.

-Dallas acquires Spezza from Montreal for Chiasson, others, and a 2nd round pick.
-Avs acquire Briere for Parenteau and a late pick.
-Predators acquire James Neal for Spaling and Hornqvist.
-Marian Gaborik re-signs with Kings.
-Ryan Miller to Canucks via UFA.
-Paul Stastny to the Blues via UFA.
-Jarome Iginla to the Avs via UFA.
-Dan Boyle to the NYR.
-Brad Richards to the Blackhawks.
-Vanek to the Minnesota Wild.
-Robidas to the Maple Leafs.
-Niskanen to the Caps via UFA.

Feel free to add other moves and I'll do my best to update.

Here's your "modified shootout".

5 minute overtime starts with 4 on 4. Each minute, both teams have to remove a player.

5 - 4 on 4
4 - 3 on 3
3 - 2 on 2
2 - 1 on 1
1 - goalies duke it out.

I actually like the idea if there were a good way of removing a player without stopping. Not sure how that could happen though.

Guys come off for line changes already - give them a 5 second grace period and if they violate it make it a 1 minute penalty and drop the puck at center ice.
