Copied this from the FA Frenzy thread:

This is no time for a vacation, Jay Feaster, if you ever wanted to trade Jay Bouwmeester, the time to strike is now.

Atlantic Division losses:
Pens-Michalek, Staal
Flyers-Jagr, Carle
Devils-Parise
Rangers-Prust
Islanders-...ummm, Eaton?

The Isles are having the best FA of the division. Think about that.

The Islanders lost Parenteau to the Avs 4 years 16M. Eaton hasn't signed with anyone yet. Apparently Jurcina is close to signing with the Rangers.

All the Isles have done is sign Brad Boyes, Matt Carkner & Eric Boulton. Chuck is so cheap Boyes was the first UFA the Isles called on July 1st.

When Wideman got 5.25 I knew Carle would get more. So I'm not surprised.

still better than the flyers who have signed.... nobody.... i actually think the isles are making some nice moves.. but i guess you feel differently

i actually thought carle would get more than that.. so.. not a bad signing by the bolts.. i think the flyers didnt want to go 6 years
