Yup...

Pat Steinberg‏@Fan960Steinberg26s
Feaster says they didn't want to inherit a salary arbitration case, hence not claiming Russell off waivers. #Flames

I'll lose a 5th round pick (which can be easily re-acquired) to avoid the hassle for both the team and player of a salary arbitration case.

Said that he called all day yesterday, didn't get a response, then he got nervous. Sheesh.

 

[pixburgher66]

What kills me is when Alfie comes in and says "I didn't want to ruin their future and make them push for a Cup now." That sounds like crap to me.

REALLY CBJ? A facebook hand?

I already told you, the regulars in the social media team are off today. It's that same fucking intern with the Twitter password.

Alfie did them COLD!

Bruce Garrioch ‏@SunGarrioch 6s "It was a devastating, disappointing conversation," says Murray.

Damn. Murray essentially said he offered Alfie a blank check.

Yeah I'm watching that first game when Alfie goes back to Ottawa.

I don't know when Damien Brunner is asking for in salary, but I'd rather take a chance on him than Mason Raymond.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

to be fair (deported):

Alfredsson spoke with Murray directly about his desire to move on rather than have his agent handle it - respectful

 

[jstewismybastardson]

A facebook hand?

Horton: "um damn ... i thought they said a hand job off of facebook ... oh well Im anonymous now"

Murray had the wrong phone number.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Murray had the wrong phone number.

maybe a fax number?

/was it you or KennyB who kept telling me Murray was too old to lead the Sens through a re-build when they traded Mr Underwood?

looks like he's finally losing it

 

[mattola]

i still think Edler gets dealt

Anyone know how to use Find Jobs. Build a Better Career. Find Your Calling. | Monster.com ? Asking for a friend......

Don't need Monster to apply for a job at IHOP

 

[jstewismybastardson]

so Melnyk told Murray to "do whatever" to re-sign Alfie yesterday

interesting

wonder if that article on his dwindling finances from yesterday had anything to do with this? an attempt to save face? a move born of ego to show everyone he isnt in the poorhouse???

 

[jstewismybastardson]

i still think Edler gets dealt

you think theres a chance they ask bieksa instead? (to wave the NTC)

Flyers give Claude Giroux extension, sign Ray Emery

Not sure how I missed this.

Flyers already trying to spend next years' cap space. 8yrs/66.2m. 8.25 per starting next year.

Wings and Sens in the same division this season due to re-alignment - Fans will have plenty of chances to boo Alfie.

People in Nashville already talking Stanley Cup...Really? I wasn't aware they were just a Stalberg and Cullen away lol
