Talk:2016–17 NHL transactions

Hover text & supplemental information

Currently I have it such that if you hover over a retained salary transaction (denoted by a *) you can see how much salary was retained. Is there value in hover text for conditional picks at all? Similarly, is there value in noting what players were selected with a traded draft pick?

Here is a sample from the article with changes made (note I used to different styles for noting what player was drafted with a pick):

June

June 24, 2016	To Washington Capitals Lars Eller	To Montreal Canadiens 2nd round pick in 2017 2nd round pick in 2018
June 24, 2016	To Montreal Canadiens Andrew Shaw	To Chicago Blackhawks 2nd round pick in 2016 (#39 - Alexander Debrincat) MIN's 2nd round pick in 2016 (Chad Krys)
June 24, 2016	To Calgary Flames Brian Elliott	To St. Louis Blues 2nd round pick in 2016 (#35 - Jordan Kyrou) conditional 3rd round pick in 2018
June 24, 2016	To Arizona Coyotes Pavel Datsyuk 1st round pick in 2016 (Jakob Chychrun)	To Detroit Red Wings Joe Vitale NYR's 1st round pick in 2016 (Dennis Cholowski) 2nd round pick in 2016 (#53 - Filip Hronek)
June 25, 2016	To Buffalo Sabres Dmitri Kulikov VAN's 2nd round pick in 2016 (#33 - Rasmus Asplund)	To Florida Panthers Mark Pysyk 2nd round pick in 2016 (#38 - Adam Mascherin) STL's 3rd round pick in 2016 (Linus Nassen)
June 25, 2016	To Arizona Coyotes Anthony DeAngelo	To Tampa Bay Lightning 2nd round pick in 2016 (#37 - Libor Hajek)
June 25, 2016	To New Jersey Devils Beau Bennett	To Pittsburgh Penguins DET's 3rd round pick in 2016 (Connor Hall)
June 25, 2016	To Los Angeles Kings Jack Campbell	To Dallas Stars Nick Ebert
June 25, 2016	To Toronto Maple Leafs Kerby Rychel	To Columbus Blue Jackets Scott Harrington conditional 5th round pick in 2017

So, does it work? Is it too much? Should I do one and not the other? (I am leaning towards conditional information, but not the drafted player, because that looks too cluttered, imo. If we do include drafted player info, I vote for small text with the pick number.) –uncleben85 (talk) 22:37, 24 February 2017 (UTC)

June 2017 Transactions

The NHL officially lists all June 2017 transactions as transactions for the 2017-18 season. Therefore I argue these should be moved to a new article for transactions for the upcoming season. Spilia4 (talk) 00:12, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

I support this, and have in the past tried to lobby for the change, but there just seems to be too much inertia... Having the page roll over on July 1 makes sense for so many reasons, imo. –uncleben85 (talk) 04:35, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

Import players

Is there interest in adding players signed from other leagues? Currently this page only tracks transactions from one NHL team to another, but adding imports actually doesn't make the page that much bigger or crowded. For example, here are all off the 2016-17 imports, and how I would suggest presenting them (–uncleben85 (talk) 04:40, 26 June 2017 (UTC)):
