FA Frenzy Thread

[TiLoBrown]

not trying to be mean but they shaky ownership situation would scare me as well

Which is why I'd be fine with him going to Minny. Shitty owner forced that Kovy deal with short-mindedness.

@Russostrib
Of the "small select group" on Parise's list including #mnwild, Parise will talk to each team again today. This could take some time #nhl

Vancouver Canucks re-sign Andrew Ebbett to a one year $600,000 contrac

 

[TiLoBrown]

Well if NJ gets the first call, you know its a no

Did you know that due to the Oilers buyout of Souray, unless Schultz hits all of his bonuses, the Oilers will actually pay more money for Souray to play for the Ducks this season than they do for Schultz to play for them.

so many buyouts still being paid. one guy just came off the books in CBJ I never even heard of. ah silly GMs

 

[DChero]

Is anyone a little surprised at the lack of info on Suter? He's the top guy at his position on the board but there's virtually no info.

 

[TiLoBrown]

I think everyone is expecting him to go where Parise goes...which means not NJ

 

[evolver115]

That's what I'm thinking. I feel like the Pittsburgh beat writers were the ones that made Pittsburgh sound like the front-runner and not anyone with a brain.

The brainless writers' are all from the Trib. Dave Molinari of the post-gazette is fantastic.

im not sure that I agree...I dont think he only goes where Parise goes. I think if they end up in the same place its cool but I dont think he only limits his options to where Parise goes.

No not us the fans, everybody as in the "reporters". It makes their jobs easier. They've been following Parise mostly and ignoring Suter and even Marty really.

Glad Marty chose to remain with the Devils. I had a hard time picturing him playing with another team.

yeah me too. all is righting the world now

 

[evolver115]

Pens have inquired about Matt Carle, according to The 4th Period. I can't see him in Pittsburgh sweater, but I wouldn't complain if the price is right.

Tom Gulitti ‏@TGfireandice
Just talked to Martin Brodeur. He said Devils offered more money on 1-year contract, but he wanted 2. That was why he hired agent, went UFA.

they must be good buddies

Darren Dreger ‏@DarrenDreger
As per release, Hedberg agrees to 2 year deal with Devils. Includes full no-trade clause.

@KFAN1003
Russo says he thinks Parise is deciding between the Wild and Penguins. #mnwild

#NJD Hedberg's deal worth $1.4 million per year, also includes full no-trade.

So they aren't planning for life without Marty yet?

their prospects must not even be close. I imagine as soon as Marty is retired he is a coach for the Devils for that singular role. I just dont get why they wouldn't do that now. bad planning IMO
