FA Frenzy Thread

Linus Omark (aka Mr. Shootout) has signed a deal with Zug in the Swiss league.

I guess we need to remove 'O' from the HOPE acronym (Hall, Omark, Paajaarvi, and Eberle) and insert 'Y' (Yakupov).

Thus, HOPE becomes HYPE

A solid 3rd line C who can put up 15 or so goals a year while being good in his own end. Tough as nails too.

Me like.

Sadly, I am.

how is 4 years long term? I think his AAV is about $1 to $1.5M too high.

Fantastic news that Brad Marchand is getting paid, I would hate to see someone go too low on him.

This is why I was still a bit surprised that they went and got Nash...but for this coming season they're in good shape, but they've got some interesting RFA situations coming.

The main reason why I want the cap ceiling to come down at least a few million.:

Eminger re-signs with the Rags...

New York Rangers President and General Manager Glen Sather announced today that the club has agreed to terms with defenseman Steve Eminger on a new contract.

Eminger, 28, skated in 42 games with the Rangers last season, registering two goals and three assists for five points, along with 28 penalty minutes. He tied his career-high for most assists in a game with two assists, including one on the power play and one while shorthanded, on December 10 at Buffalo.

He missed 32 games due to injury, including 20 games from December 20 to February 5 with a separated shoulder. Eminger also skated in four postseason contests, making his Rangers playoff debut on April 28 against Washington.

Defenseman Steve Eminger returns to the Rangers for a third season after seeing action in 42 games last year and more than 100 total games since joining the organization just over two years ago.

The 6-2, 203-pounder has recorded four goals and seven assists in 107 games with the Rangers over the last two seasons. He made his Rangers debut in the 2010-11 season opener on October 9 at Buffalo, and tallied his first point as a Blueshirt in the home opener that season on October 15 against Toronto.

Hmmm - Let's see if I got this right

Craig Leipold (former Preds owner who backed Bettman on denying Ballsy the Preds and got a sweetheart deal in Minnesota, who recently signed Parise and Suter to long term deals) - check

Ed Snider (Flyers owner and long-time Bettman supporter who also owns Comcast (which by the way owns the NBC Sports Network who has also signed Wayne Simmons to a long-term deal) - check

Jeremy Jacobs (Bruins owner and long-time Bettman supporter now looking to sign Seguin to a long-term deal) - almost check

Just business as usual, guys.
