Hey SnowWang FUCK YOU!!

I just want to thank the Islanders for hitting a NEW LOW today. Brad Boyes was apparently the first UFA they called. 1 year 1M & apparently has been told he's going to play in the top 6.

Matt Carkner & Eric Boulton really? This is the best you could do?

Don't worry, the first guy that Doug Wilson called at 9:01AM was Adam Burish... and he proceeded to immediately overpay him to the tune of $1.8M per for *4* years.

it's more than my gang have done.

lost Salo, lost Rome, lost out on Schultz
apparently bid for Tanner Glass, as he was so wonderful last time around.
have been inquiring on Slovak defenseman Ivan Baranka (playing in the KHL)

holy shit we just got Garrison!!
never mind

I'm not surprised. I thought Garrison would end up in Vancouver.

I thought we had a better chance at Schultz than Garrison, as there was the potential for a financial bidding war with Garrison that I knew we weren't going to match.
Just pleased he left $ on the table to come home.

top 6 looks solid again.

Hamhuis - Bieksa
Garrison - Edler
Ballard - Tanev

Very solid.

In comparison:

MacDonald Hamonic
Streit Visnovsky
Carkner De Haan or Donovan

YIKES!!

I mean...after tomorrow the Pens could have the distinction of signing Glass and Reese. Oh, and resigning a freaking goon. Here's to a better Monday!
