OFFICIAL: Free Agency Opening Day(s) thread....

[Dupster]

Nice signing for Pittsburgh.

C'mon, Vancouver, Hammy and Volch are still out there.

Gonna be a sick D, fleury may only face 15 shots a game, but still only stop 10-12 of them............

 

[loki604]

No numbers yet. Burnside just confirmed signing.

 

[dash]

77 million dollars spent so far today...That's without Kovy signed as well...

 

[loki604]

Which is funny because this is the first time ESPN has beat TSN in getting a signing up. And they are all self-congratulatory.

 

[evolver115]

Hamhuis' agent says pittsburgh is still a viable option, but he's going to hit the open market and hear what everyone is selling. Reports are also saying that both Paul Martin and Zybnek Michalek are going to be pursued by Shero and the Pens at 12:00.... which is right now!!


HERE WE GO!!!!

wanted to re-post this. I found this info at pittsburgh insider. Good info, I must say.

Dan Hamhuis...WILL regret not signing with one of the PA teams.

Well, at least they gave us a third round pick, but I really don't like how the Pens D is shaping up. Bums. Least their wingers are still pretty much non-existent. Actually, I'm surprised they don't have any wingers coming - any Pens fans want to set me straight on that?

 

[Automattic]

I wonder what Ken Holland is having for lunch today?

 

[Dupster]

Boogaard to the Rangers. lol. Bet they overpaid, too.

He wants to be a nuck methinks. Wants some of mom's home cooking. Who could blame him? I spent some time in BC recently, mostly at Whistler. It's an amazing place. Not better than Cali, but amazing

you're just jealous because now we have the 1b best D in the atlantic (you're still 1a, don't worry). our wings will have to include tangradi and johnson. IMO.

I'm assuming they're paying more than $1. Yup, they overpaid.

 

[Dupster]

BC = Best Place On Earth. Trademarked* :P

Wow, pretty cocky eh?

 

[pixburgher66]

i so happy. need numbers to be ecstatic though

 

[loki604]

Christ, I want to know the terms to this Martin deal. I'm assuming a 4.5 cap hit as previously discussed.

 

[Automattic]

"Shhwell, were shreally exshiited shhtat gonsh ish coming to Ottawa..."

 

[pixburgher66]

Wow, pretty cocky eh?

nah, i'm just talking money wise. i think he was PROBABLY getting nicer numbers from both philly and pitt, but was stuck on going to BC.
