Good day for the Panthers so far - Jussi Jokinen and Dave Bolland!

Oh thank god

Oh thank god

Bad news Matty. Mason Raymond is gone.

They didn't give me Torts to WSH, so they won't help you. Simmer down.

I think they owe us Sabres fans.

/Not expecting to be able to collect that debt

I think even David Clarkson is laughing at that one.

Nothing in this article about what kind of $ is being put on the table, but Minny has made offers to try & lock down some of their young guns:

Fontaine, Blum, Kuemper, Niederreiter, Zucker

Told that Boyle left a significant amount of $ on table to sign with Rangers. Always encouraging sign.

Good terms also for the Rangers.....Sather must have been out of the room

 

[mattola]

Bolland 5 yr $5.5 per is that a favour to Tallon leafs getting shunned today

 

[Cobiemonster]

I think even David Clarkson is laughing at that one.

Dave Bolland is a solid two-way player, Panthers need offense and defense and they'll get both from him - they have lots of money so they had to spend some of it anyway

 

[forty_three]

12pts in 23 games last year and 180 in 365 career and he gets 5.5?


I hope to GOD that Ryan Johansen's Internet connection is out wherever he is.

Thank you Dale Tallon!!!

Agreed. But solid is not the same as 5 years at $5.5M.

He's broken, old, and even the Leafs weren't dumb enough to pay him that.

Brooks Orpik to Caps....

 

[Harry Crack]

What the heck did we do wrong to have Pierre Mcquire and his shiny head gushing all over the TSN trade deadline show anyways ???? I thought we had luckily exported him last year ?

Haha probably.

 

[Cobiemonster]

He's broken, old, and even the Leafs weren't dumb enough to pay him that.

The fact the Leafs were still trying to sign him at the very end shows that they did want him

 

[Darkstone42]

Larry Brooks would be the one to report that.

(He really hates Orpik.)
