[elocomotive]

Dennis Wideman: Re-Signs with Washington Capitals

No!!

Alexander Semin: Re-Signs with Washington Capitals

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

 

[dash]

Olli Jokinen: Re-Signs with Calgary Flames

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

Semin will be a Cap, but Wideman will not.

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Zach Parise will not be on Carolina next season.

 

[esls79]

Pancakes to Toronto? I thought that was waffle territory.

 

[Darkstone42]

Why would the Penguins sign Rolston? What good could possibly come of that? :confused2:

 

[mattola]

if you click the link and see his picks he explains some detail on why he thinks who goes where. some seem logical. some not so much.

 

[BF4L]

Zach Parise will not be on Carolina next season.

Correct!

He will be in Boston

 

[filosofy29]

If the Sharks don't re-sign Winnik, I wouldn't mind re-kicking the tires on Moen. Other than that, Whitney and Kelly would be nice. I don't think the Sharks will sign either of the latter two because they never sign "big name" FA's.

It'll be an interesting offseason for the Sharks, that's for sure. The two teams it will be most fun to watch this offseason will be the Sharks and Canucks I presume.

 

[BlueandWhiteForever]

I view this report invalid just on the basis they consider Kristian Huselius a big name alone.

 

[pixburgher66]

Bleacher Report, so reputable. Yeah, Brian Roloston makes no sense, haha. And Parise to Carolina? What the what?

 

[4thstreet]

I view this report invalid just on the basis they consider Kristian Huselius a big name alone.

He was listed 2 spots above Dominic Moore.

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

What the hell are Rolston & Campbell doing on this list? Big names my ass.

 

[Eddie_Shack]

Pancakes to Toronto? I thought that was waffle territory.

He's trying to round out his frame... er, game.
