Official Offseason/2009 Draft Thread Part VI

continue

Only problem i have with Komisarek is the money. I would only consider signing him of Lou trades Pando and one of White/Sal i would wanna clear the cap space before he did it. But i dont think Lou will sign him. Honestly i dont kno what Lou will do if anything.

salvador and pandolfo to montreal for subban

With the trade we saw yesterday.... who knows :naughty:

sedins stay in van city

sedins stay in van city

Barely beat me to it.

I thought Tanguay was going to re-sign with the Habs, but now that they have their center, what does everyone think about him? He made around $5.3 last season.

sedins stay in van city

Good deal for Vancouver... 6.1M$ per for 5 years x2

I thought Tanguay was going to re-sign with the Habs, but now that they have their center, what does everyone think about him? He made around $5.3 last season.

I hate that ****er.

I thought Tanguay was going to re-sign with the Habs, but now that they have their center, what does everyone think about him? He made around $5.3 last season.

Gainey was playing the russian roulette with his UFA's and it looks like he'll only be able to resign Kovalev. Komisarek, Tanguay, Koivu, Bouillon, Schneider, Lang, etc... are all going to test the market and I think they're kinda pissed that they didn't get any kind of offer until now.

Tanguay would be a solid pick up but is sort of injury prone and will demand close to 5M$ per. For that money and risk, i'd rather go after Havlat.

**** Tanguay!

Tanguay is also a little b*tch and I hate him too.

I hate that ****er.

**** Tanguay!

Why all the hate?

He's essentially Elias w/o as much Eliasness

Why all the hate?

I love it when people come up with a significant reason as to why they don't want a player on our team like "I hate that ****er" :p:

He's essentially Elias w/o as much Eliasness

And with twice as many injuries.

I love it when people come up with a significant reason as to why they don't want a player on our team like "I hate that ****er" :p:

sorry we don't all like every single player in the NHL.

And with twice as many injuries.

and dives.

sorry we don't all like every single player in the NHL.

I can accept the fact that you dislike Tanguay... but I'd like to know why. Maybe you'll convince me that he isn't a good fit with us ;)

we dont need wingers. he costs too much

that why i dont like tanguay

we dont need wingers. he costs too much

that why i dont like tanguay

See, I agree with both points... **** TANGUAY ;)

Why all the hate?

I figured as much hahah him and Drury walked all over us that series.

How much is Beauchemin gonna get on the open market... around 3M$ or 4M$ ???

How much is Beauchemin gonna get on the open market... around 3M$ or 4M$ ???

probably 4

What the hell. I'm on lunch and there's no news.

Looks like there is some 2001 bitterness in here.

Ted Nolan is the new vice president of hockey operations of the rochester americans per xm radio 204

How much is Beauchemin gonna get on the open market... around 3M$ or 4M$ ???
I'd love to sign that guy. Plus he's French Canadian, we need another one on the roster!

I'd love to sign that guy. Plus he's French Canadian, we need another one on the roster!

I agree. Beauchemin or Öhlund.;)

I'd love to sign that guy. Plus he's French Canadian, we need another one on the roster!

Were Team Sweden now.

Ted Nolan is the new vice president of hockey operations of the rochester americans per xm radio 204

With the "loss" of Nolan, that only means there's one less candidate available for Lou to pick from and that only means that Jacques Lemaire has a better chance of becoming our coach :help:

I agree. Beauchemin or Öhlund.;)

Ohlund may be cheaper. I'd like to add him to our roster.

What the hell. I'm on lunch and there's no news.




free agency doesnt start until noon

What the hell. I'm on lunch and there's no news.

I could be wrong, but I don't think FA signings don't officially start until noon EST.

Were Team Sweden now.
NEVER!

Oh boy. One minute.

Let The Frenzy Begin!!!

Were Team Sweden now.

We should be called the "New Jersey Red Devils" :naughty:

Here's to a (hopefully) entertaining day.

what site has the best free agent tracker? TSN usually has one that automatically updates but they dont this year

Damn they offered Heater a $4 million signing bonus. :amazed:

Dreger reports Roloson is going to test the market. That solidifies my belief that Clemmer goes to Oil country.

After NHL Live on NHL network they will be showing the TSN coverage.

Dreger reports Roloson is going to test the market. That solidifies my belief that Clemmer goes to Oil country.

Heatley didn't waive his NTC because he said he will only go if Clemmer goes.

http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=283416

oh god they have auto user comments. The user comments on TSN stories are typically some of the dumbest thing you can read on the interwebs.

I'm just impressed that it is 12:15 and hfboards has not crashed...

Heatley is the new Starbury.

Heatley didn't waive his NTC because he said he will only go if Clemmer goes.

Makes sense to me. Clemmer is such a swell guy. Who wouldn't want to play with him.

Damn they offered Heater a $4 million signing bonus. :amazed:

Heatley has a 4M$ bonus that kicks in tomorrow at 12h01 am and that's why the Oilers are "postponing" the trade IMO. If they delay it until tomorrow, the Sens will have to pay him the 4M$ bonus he signed with his LTC last year.

I'm just impressed that it is 12:15 and hfboards has not crashed...

nothing has happened yet. just wait.

just saw on puckdaddy that ohlund went to tampa - hedman's tutor?

Ohlund signed in Tampa per NHL Live

What a waste of an Ohlund.

Ohlund signed in Tampa per NHL Live

Good move by Tampa. Get ohlund to help hedman, one of the best decisions they could have made this year.

just saw on puckdaddy that ohlund went to tampa - hedman's tutor?

Ugggggghhhh. Why would anyone want to go to tampa.

Their goes one of our options for a PMD :cry:

Their goes one of our options for a PMD :cry:

yeah I've always liked ohlund, hoped we would snag him. oh well.

****! Why would you go to Tampa Mattias!?:shakehead

seven years, and average of $3.75 million per year for Ohlund

****. that.

****! Why would you go to Tampa Mattias!?:shakehead

seven year contract worth 3.75 per

do you guys think we have a shot at getting Komisarek?

seven year contract worth 3.75 per

LMFAO!

No want. Have fun with that Tampa.

7 years for Ohlund? Thats pretty steep for someone who is supposively declining.

I figured he would go for 3 to 5 years for 3.25-3.5

seven year contract worth 3.75 per

Man's got his priorities all wrong.:shakehead

The point of the Ohlund deal is frontloading to lower cap hit while increasing total cash paid, combined with the option of retirement without penalty later.

do you guys think we have a shot at getting Komisarek?

i sure hope not. He doesn't help us at all and would just be a waste of money. especially for what he's seeking.

seven years, and average of $3.75 million per year for Ohlund

****. that.

Ohlund is already on the decline. Imagine how you will feel about his contract in even 2 years.... let alone 7.
I'm happy.

The point of the Ohlund deal is frontloading to lower cap hit while increasing total cash paid, combined with the option of retirement without penalty later.

3.75 is the reported cap hit at least thats what they said on NHL live.

I love this day, to much money spent but man it is fun!

Hossa close to going to chi town per tsn tv.

I love this day, to much money spent but man it is fun!

Word.:nod:

Hossa close to going to chi town per tsn tv.

umm can they even afford him???

3.75 is the reported cap hit. Not his average salary.
But it's frontloaded, so he'll be paid somewhere in the 5M range declining, with the last few years worth the least. He gets paid more, Tampa has a lower cap hit, and he can retire without penalty at any point.

umm can they even afford him???

If they don't resign Havlat they can. 1 yr then he can walk somewhere else and they can extend towes and kane

Hossa close to going to chi town per tsn tv.
Chicago has a good chance of going to the Finals next year! (And probably lose)

Hossa close to going to chi town per tsn tv.

I really dont understand why chicago would go after hossa

But it's frontloaded, so he'll be paid somewhere in the 5M range declining, with the last few years worth the least. He gets paid more, Tampa has a lower cap hit, and he can retire without penalty at any point.

yeah but a 3.75 cap hit is still a bit much for him.

yeah but a 3.75 cap hit is still a bit much for him.
Maybe a little bit, but his value is around the same as Oduya's, $3.5M, so it's only a $250k overpayment worst case.

Please Lou, go after Beauchemin.

Dreger says Hossa is close to signing with Chicago

WTF?!?!

Maybe a little bit, but his value is around the same as Oduya's, $3.5M, so it's only a $250k overpayment worst case.

I guess. TSN is saying that he'll 22.5 million of that contract in the first 5 years. He'll probably walk away after that. It's actually looking like a smart move for Tampa.

Dreger says Hossa is close to signing with Chicago

WTF?!?!

Tallon is an idiot.

Clemmer eyeing 3 teams per Strickland.

Per Andy Strickland, so take it for what its worth:

Clemmensen Eyeing 3 Teams

Goaltender Scott Clemmensen has three teams on the top of his list. I've received confirmation that St. Louis is one fo those teams. The Blueshave Clemmensen on thier list along with Ty Conklin and a few others. The Blues would love to pull off a trade with Minn and acquire Josh Harding.

Please Lou, go after Beauchemin.

This would be a good signing, but would probably break our budget. If Ohlund gets 3.5, no way Beauchemin gets less than that.

This would be a good signing, but would probably break our budget. If Ohlund gets 3.5, no way Beauchemin gets less than that.
Beauchemin is going to get between $3.5 and $4.0. I don't see him getting more than that, though it's not impossible, but he's definitely not getting less.

Dvorak re-signs in Florida... I was honestly surprised to learn he was still in the NHL last season, now it looks like he's got two more seasons in Florida ahead of him.

Why has there been no Zajac take about a deal. It pretty Important we resign him. Any Word?

Sportsnet: Florida Panthers have signed Radek Dvorak for two years at an average cap hit of $1.7 million

Why has there been no Zajac take about a deal. It pretty Important we resign him. Any Word?

Lou can't officially sign him after noon today, so give it a little time.

The Habs reportedly sign Kovalev for 2 years per the TEAM 990

Why has there been no Zajac take about a deal. It pretty Important we resign him. Any Word?

It's only been 50 mins into free agency, I'm sure Lou is working on it.

Team 990 in Montreal says Gomez has a winger: Kovalev resigns 2yrs/$8.8M.

I have a feeling Chad La Rose, may be Devil before the day is done. Other than that, we really don't have a ton of cap space unless Lou moves some bodies.

There's no urgency in signing Zajac.

Nice signing for the Habs IMO.

I have a feeling Chad La Rose, may be Devil before the day is done. Other than that, we really don't have a ton of cap space unless Lou moves some bodies.

Clarkson - Zubrus - Larose

awesome 3rd line.

Make it happen

I have a feeling Chad La Rose, may be Devil before the day is done. Other than that, we really don't have a ton of cap space unless Lou moves some bodies.

The Canes didn't re-sign him?:amazed: Bad move.

I'd like Chad Larose if we find a way to get rid of Pandobear.

There's no urgency in signing Zajac.

With the new offersheet compensations, we better get Zajac locked up soon or someone will throw an offersheet on him.

$994,433 or below - No Compensation
$994,434 - $1,506,717 - 2010 3rd round pick
$1506,718 - $3,013,433 - 2010 2nd round pick
$3,013,433 - $4,520,150 - 2010 1st round pick, 2010 3rd round pick
$4,520,151 - $6,026,867 - 2010 1st round pick, 2010 2nd round pick, 2010 3rd round pick

Over $7,533,584 - 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 1st round picks.

http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog.php?post_id=21797&blogger_id=5

Nice signing for the Habs IMO.

4.4 M per? That seems a little steep to me. It's only 100 K less than his last contract. He's 36 and struggled so much this past season that the coach told him to go home. He could find his game with Gomez though.

Chad LaRose definitely impressed me in the playoffs. He'd make a good devil. But I'm not so sure we need him. If we somehow got rid of Pando, get LaRose at a similar salary... I could be ok.

I love FA day

He still has to actually SIGN it though. I find it hard to believe he would, he doesn't seem like the money-oriented type and he knows how much he's wanted, needed, and ultimately fits here.

Chad LaRose definitely impressed me in the playoffs. He'd make a good devil. But I'm not so sure we need him. If we somehow got rid of Pando, get LaRose at a similar salary... I could be ok.

The only thing I hate more than picking up former Rangers in free agency, is picking up former former Whalers in free agency. As someone who still feels betrayed about the Whalers leaving Hartford, that franchise does not exist for me.

zajacs not going anywhere. dont worry. lous not completely senile yet. hes the next top priority now that bambi is locked up.

Think of it as stealing their cheap, good talent.

Think of it as stealing their cheap, good talent.

him and clarkson on the third line. Awesome.

It's only been 50 mins into free agency, I'm sure Lou is working on it.

64 minutes and NO major deals!!!!!!!

Lou is slipping!!!! :scared:

http://maxdunbar.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/fear_poster_med.jpg

Greene resigned.

The Devils aren't doing anything today other than taking care of own guys....

Think of it as stealing their cheap, good talent.

Well maybe I don't mind so much. After all, since that franchise doesn't exist, all those players are unemployed. We're giving out charity! :laugh:

Greene resigned.

Link?

Andy Greene re-signed:

Lou's done for the day :scared:

pretty much lol

Twitter is actually a good source for Devils news too.

Take this for what it's worth since it's Eklund, but he says Gionta is heading to Montreal. No verification anywhere though.

I actually think Greene is going to have a good year. We'll see.

I'm guessing 1 year, $600k.

Take this for what it's worth since it's Eklund, but he says Gionta is heading to Montreal. No verification anywhere though.
Sucks to be him.

Take this for what it's worth since it's Eklund, but he says Gionta is heading to Montreal. No verification anywhere though.

It would be interesting to see Gio and Gomez work together again

I actually think Greene is going to have a good year. We'll see.

I'm guessing 1 year, $600k.

My exact guess too. Anyway, I was completely wrong on this one. Thought he was gone.

Take this for what it's worth since it's Eklund, but he says Gionta is heading to Montreal. No verification anywhere though.

So he read that thread on the trade board?

Andy Greene re-signed:

WOOT :handclap:

According to CKAC 730, Hossa has signed a 6 year, 60 million dollar deal with the Blackhawks.

If this is true, Dave Tallon is a bigger retard then Gainey :help:


P.S. Colton Orr to Toronto... done.

Take this for what it's worth since it's Eklund, but he says Gionta is heading to Montreal. No verification anywhere though.

good for Gio.

Take this for what it's worth since it's Eklund, but he says Gionta is heading to Montreal. No verification anywhere though.

No, I won't and please if you are going to visit here do not post anything Eklund. We nearly have all the folks here house trained, you can help by observing the house rules and depositing the turds outside too.

So he read that thread on the trade board?

That is his main source for trade rumors.

Would Gionta and Gomez be on the same line again? Hah

http://twitter.com/nhldevils

Twitter is actually a good source for Devils news too.

Sometimes it's too good. As in, I'm considering un-following Rich Chere because he posts so friggin' much. I prefer my daily update about from Kevin Weekes about what club he's partying at or what he had for dinner.

Leafs sign Colton Orr to a four year deal...

My exact guess too. Anyway, I was completely wrong on this one. Thought he was gone.

Wow, Lou actually was trying to save the 60 K by not qualifying him. How fantastically cheap.

lol a caller on NHL Live (Devils fan) said Gomez is going to "whip the Montreal fans into a frenzy" when he touches the puck

I actually think Greene is going to have a good year. We'll see.

I'm guessing 1 year, $600k.

$660k min per the 10% increase requirement

Burke makes his first move in getting Orr as per TSN

No, I won't and please if you are going to visit here do not post anything Eklund. We nearly have all the folks here house trained, you can help by observing the house rules and depositing the turds outside too.

Eklund is a total disaster. I don't know why he still has a job. Him and Bruce Garrioch both make up stuff all the time.

According to CKAC 730, Hossa has signed a 6 year, 60 million dollar deal with the Blackhawks.

If this is true, Dave Tallon is a bigger retard the Gainey :help:


P.S. Colton Orr to Toronto... done.

:amazed::amazed::laugh::amazed::amazed:

Would Gionta and Gomez be on the same line again? Hah

Meh, the guys on NHL Live were just saying Gionta would be a good pickup to play with Gomez. I believe it when I see it.

Did you guys hear Colton Orr went to Toronto?

No, I won't and please if you are going to visit here do not post anything Eklund. We nearly have all the folks here house trained, you can help by observing the house rules and depositing the turds outside too.

u know, most of us have him on our blocked list for a reason:p:

Nice and cheap for Greene as the #7. Good signing.

Colton Orr is a Leaf, typical Burke move.

According to CKAC 730, Hossa has signed a 6 year, 60 million dollar deal with the Blackhawks.

If this is true, Dave Tallon is a bigger retard then Gainey :help:

Whaaaaaaaaat....

Quick, go trade for Seabrook and Toews.

Leafs sign Colton Orr to a four year deal...

Orr and Hollweg reunited.:biglaugh:

Wow, Lou actually was trying to save the 60 K by not qualifying him. How fantastically cheap.
He did the same thing with Oduya year before last.

$660k min per the 10% increase requirement
We didn't qualify him to get around the qualifier requirement. He was UFA as of Noon.

$660k min per the 10% increase requirement

No, Greene was a UFA not an RFA.

$660k min per the 10% increase requirement

thats only for qualifying offers.

Orr for 1 mil per for 4 years is the worst move of the offseason so far.

Orr and Hollweg reunited.:biglaugh:

Over/Under the amount of boarding penalties in one season?

Orr for 1 mil per for 4 years is the worst move of the offseason so far.

:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

Whaaaaaaaaat....

Quick, go trade for Seabrook and Toews.

IF this is true, we have to make a push for Cam Barker. If Lou would be able to trade for him, I'd consider this summer a succes with the draft and his acquisition.

Now all those Dbags with the Orr Rangers jerseys look even more Dbagish.

If this is true, Dave Tallon is a bigger retard then Gainey :help:

Welcome to Cap Hell. Tallon will cry next off-season when he has to re-sign Kane, Toews, Skille, Ladd and Keith.

http://www.robertpine.com/CHIPS_Color_Two.jpg

Ok guys... I get it.

hey RG Andy Greene wasn't qualified so he doesn't get the 10% raise. Did you know that?

Orr for 1 mil per for 4 years is the worst move of the offseason so far.

Haha. Burke is an idiot.

TG shout out on NHL live. haha

According to Darren Dreger on Twitter:
kovalev extension in Mtl isnt done yet. some say it is. his agent says it isn't.

TG shout out on NHL live. haha

Haha, I was about to say something.. Some nice props

Whaaaaaaaaat....

Quick, go trade for Seabrook and Toews.

Duncan Keith or bust.

Take it for what it's worth, but Everson in today's post reported that we resigned Oduya, Zajac and Greene. As for the Habs signing Gio, I thought they wanted to get bigger, not smaller from last season.

if the BHawks sign Hossa-

Barker to NJ (b69)

First time I've heard an Islanders fan on NHL Radio

if the BHawks sign Hossa-

Barker to NJ (b69)

Yes please. An offer-sheet at around 3 millions could be enough to get him.

if the BHawks sign Hossa-

Barker to NJ (b69)

Like I said, Barker would be the ideal situation and would be the perfect fit for us. Make it happen Lou... MAKE IT ****ING HAPPEN !!!

:rant:

if the BHawks sign Hossa-

Barker to NJ (b69)

Well that would suck, because the Wings won't have to move either Huddler or Filippula.

id want Barker more than id want Hudler or Filppula. easily.

id want Barker more than id want Hudler or Filppula. easily.

yup that would solidify our top 4 and give us a legitimate pp big shot threat besides rolston

id want Barker more than id want Hudler or Filppula. easily.

+1 :yo:

Like I said, Barker would be the ideal situation and would be the perfect fit for us. Make it happen Lou... MAKE IT ****ING HAPPEN !!!

:rant:

I'm sure we could trade for his rights and negotiate a contract. Lou would never do an offer sheet.

I'm not going to get excited about Barker because it's not going to happen.

I'm sure we could trade for his rights and negotiate a contract. Lou would never do an offer sheet.

bergfors and a 2nd

With our drafts these past 2 years, I'd give up a 1st and 3rd in '10 to sign Barker. No questions asked.

I would love to get Barker. Hell of a shot that dude has.

I'm sure we could trade for his rights and negotiate a contract. Lou would never do an offer sheet.

A offer sheet isn't "the Lou way" of doing business. He can package a prospect and a high draft pick for Barker IMO.

Paul Martin with Cam Barker on the 1st unit would be awesome and Rolston with Oduya on our 2nd unit wouldn't be all that bad either.

Greene, Oduya re-signed. Claude Lemiuex, Brendan Shanahan and Dominic Moore sign next. Zajac re-signed.

[/off-season]

:cry:

yes it would

The compensation for an offer-sheet around 3 millions/year would be only our 2nd.

I'm not going to get excited about Barker because it's not going to happen.

This is all contingent on Hossa or Havlat getting signed to an absurd deal in Chicago. An unconfirmed rumour was floated and all of the sudden everyone here is salivating about getting Barker. Madness.

yes it would

So what would our options be ??? Rolston is gonna play the point on the PP and I don't want to see a Rolston + Langenbrunner tandem cause that was brutal. They almost gave a PK goal every time they were paired together.

Switch 'em around, so Martin is with Oduya or Rolston. Rolston coughs up the puck a lot, and Oduya isn't great on the PP. That's all i really meant by it.

Were just saying that IF Havlat or Hossa signs with the Hawks... Lou should make a move for Barker, that's all. No one is saying that he's a lock and he'll be wearing the red and black (of New Jersey, not Chicago :sarcasm:) in october.

Damien Cox just said Kubina has been traded to Atlanta, and that the Leafs have made an offer to Cammaleri.

$660k min per the 10% increase requirement

Wasn´t the whole point of Lou not giving him a qualifying offer to avoid the 10% raise?

I should upadte more often, beaten to it. Multiple times.

Switch 'em around, so Martin is with Oduya or Rolston. Rolston coughs up the puck a lot, and Oduya isn't great on the PP. That's all i really meant by it.

Rolston + Barker and Martin + Langenbrunner would be a pretty solid one two punch IMO.

Damien Cox just said Kubina has been traded to Atlanta, and that the Leafs have made an offer to Cammaleri.

:cry: Atlanta has more offensive dmen then us.

Didn't see it posted yet - Greene's deal is 2 years, so I was wrong on that too.

:cry: Atlanta has more offensive dmen then us.

yet...for some strange reason, im still glad im a devs fan:D

:cry: Atlanta has more offensive dmen then us.

And zero defensive ones.

Hope it was a pleasant connecting flight from Frankfurt to Stockholm today for Brian Burke.

A double dose of bad news, you see, was waiting for him upon landing.

Having flown overnight from Boston to Frankfurt, according to sources, with bold, ambitious plans to make a face-to-face offer to Henrik and Daniel Sedin today in Sweden, the Maple Leafs GM was thwarted in the final minutes before the free agent season opened when the identical Swedish twins signed new five-year deals averaging $6.1 million per season just before noon EST with the Vancouver Canucks.

Armed with lots of MLSE money and acres of precious salary cap space, Burke targeted the 28-year-old identical twins – Henrik is six minutes older than Daniel – as his No. 1 free agency priority. All signs suggested the Sedins would try free agency, but a last ditch offer by Vancouver GM Mike Gillis on Monday apparently was enough to meet their demands.

The Leafs probably would have been willing to go higher on salary, perhaps as high as $7 million per twin, but the talented brothers clearly wanted to stay on the west coast and opted not to entertain other offers. Burke would not have been able to make any overtures to the twins before noon EST.

He was in the air on his way to Stockholm when the deal was done, and received the news upon landing.

LOL sucker.

I'm guessing in the range of 5.5-6.5.

Damien Cox just said Kubina has been traded to Atlanta, and that the Leafs have made an offer to Cammaleri.

Apparently it's Kubina Vs Armstrong and a pick... it's still a "rumor".

Knowing Waddell the Leafs probably get Little, Enstrom and Bogosian.

Dreger lists us as in on Nieds

We expressed extreme in Nieds?? Wow

And zero defensive ones.

Did Garnet Exelby and Nathan Oystrick go somewhere?:dunno:

On paper it's not a bad defensive group.

We expressed extreme in Nieds?? Wow

hooray!!!

I'd love to have scotty back.

Finish his career with the team that made him.

I honestly think that he headed to Europe for "the monster" Gustavfsson.

If Nieds comes back, I would **** my pants.

loflz

Obviously. I told you guys last night I was preparing a 3 year 21 million dollar offer.

Booth just got a ton of money from Florida

Did Garnet Exelby and Nathan Oystrick go somewhere?:dunno:

On paper it's not a bad defensive group.

Bryce Salvador would look pretty good in a Thrashers jersey ;)

Don't tease with the possibility of Nieds..

I had a carefree feeling the whole day, now I'm anxious

Obviously. I told you guys last night I was preparing a 3 year 21 million dollar offer.

i'd do 7 mill 1 yr. I highly dout niders plays for 2 more yrs

I'd love to have scotty back.

Finish his career with the team that made him.

Could be interesting, I think his asking price would be way too high though. If he does end up coming back, no way his jersey doesn't get retired.

Hossa to Chicago is a done deal per Dreger on TSN !!!

Barker to New Jersey (e5... please)

Could be interesting, I think his asking price would be way too high though. If he does end up coming back, no way his jersey doesn't get retired.

Lou already said it will be. So I think it goes up as long as he doesn't sign in Philly or NY LOL!

Hossa to Chicago is a done deal per Dreger on TSN !!!

Barker to New Jersey (e5)

Tallon is a moron, Kane and Toews are in limbo now. Havlat is gone too. Lou, now's the time to swoop in and pick up the pieces! And I retract my earlier statement, if this is confirmed, everyone feel free to speculate like mad about Barker.

Botta saying Komisarek is more of a possibility to the Rags instead of the Isles?

Don't tease with the possibility of Nieds..

I had a carefree feeling the whole day, now I'm anxious

lol, right? It's like 2005 all over again. That said, it'll be exactly like 05 all over again when he signs with Anaheim. Unless of course we sign Rob, and then release him after Scott signs :laugh:

chicago lulz

the new rangers (but at least they sign good players)

Chicago has redefined cap hell!!!

Blackhawks have to be looking at trading Campbell.

Botta saying Komisarek is more of a possibility to the Rags instead of the Isles?

That would be the ultimate screw over for the Habs and Gainey. The trade would come down to Higgins, Komisarek, McDonaugh Vs Gomez !!!

Should be canned if the Rags sign Komisarek... at lightning speed :help:

lol, right? It's like 2005 all over again. That said, it'll be exactly like 05 all over again when he signs with Anaheim. Unless of course we sign Rob, and then release him after Scott signs :laugh:

:laugh: That would be hilarious

that's what everyone said last year.

I didn't say that last year.

Tallon has to make a trade now, he just handcuffed himself..its gonna be a huge challenge keeping Kane, Toews, Barker and Keith.

Botta saying Komisarek is more of a possibility to the Rags instead of the Isles?

If the Rags sign Komisarek Sather is dumber than I thought. They need people to put the puck in the net.

Blackhawks have to be looking at trading Campbell.

Or Huet. But they are in deep trouble next off-season.

if the Rangers sign Komisarek i will die laughing

Tallon is brutal.

That would be the ultimate screw over for the Habs and Gainey. The trade would come down to Higgins, Komisarek, McDonaugh Vs Gomez !!!

Should be canned if the Rags sign Komisarek... at lightning speed :help:

The gomez deal has nothing to do with the Komisarek situation.

Or Huet. But they are in deep trouble next off-season.

If they trade Huet then they have to resign Bulin Wall..

The gomez deal has nothing to do with the Komisarek situation.

Gomez doesn't get delt, Rangers can't afford ****.

So indirectly it has everything to do with it.

Blackhawks have to be looking at trading Campbell.

sather is on the case!

Hossa to Chicago is a done deal per Dreger on TSN !!!

Those Detroit games just got even more interesting.

sather is on the case!

lolz

Supposedly the Rangers have signed Brashear :biglaugh:

Gomez doesn't get delt, Rangers can't afford ****.

So indirectly it has everything to do with it.

Someone would give Komi the money. rangers or not.

Um. If the Raggots sign Donald as being reported..

Between pronger and donald.

We will be seeing alot of PL3 next yr.

Blackhawks have to be looking at trading Campbell.

sather is on the case!

I can just see a spoof video of Sather tip-toeing around with Mission Impossible music playing in the background.

Quick! Something foolish and brash needs to be done, Glen to the rescue!

Strickland has the Rags leaning towards Brashear

Apparently they're interested in everyone

Um. If the Raggots sign Donald as being reported..

Between pronger and donald.

We will be seeing alot of PL3 next yr.

i really dont get this whole komisarek ****ery. he can **** off.

Supposedly the Rangers have signed Brashear :biglaugh:

Hahahahahaha!

I can't stop thinking about a Chicago Vs New Jersey trade... Lou has to pick up the phone and ask about Barker or Keith.

Colorado has signed Craig Anderson:
http://blogs.denverpost.com/avs/2009/07/01/anderson-an-av/

I'm waiting for more news on this Niedermayer thing. God ****ing damn I'm on pins and needles just setting myself up for more disappointment.

The gomez deal has nothing to do with the Komisarek situation.

Yes it did, the Gomez trade freed up cap space in order to sign Komisarek or any other UFA tey'll acquire during this offseason ;)

12 f***´n years for Hossa?

lol
