So...
Are all the teams done for the night?

No. The Senators are "done" for a good six years.

 

[CatScrap]

No. The Senators are "done" for a good six years.

The sabres are worse off than them at this point. IF we couldn't beat you before, we have no chance now.

That kinda looks like a young Darryl Sutter.

bear with me, catching up on 30 pages....

it is our great pleasure to announce the return of Olli Jokinen on a long term deal. For only $6 million per year, it was an opportunity we couldn't pass up. we feel his chemistry will Iginla will put us over the top. However, to fit the salary, we have needed to trade Giordano for draft picks. That's OK though, we can just give Sarich more ice time.

bwahahaha.... Hey Sutter... I was kidding.

Hamhuis makes me nervous. His attitude is weird.

He just knew all along where he wanted to go.

Gonchar is a pig. Useless. All he's going to do is teach Lee and Karlsson bad habits. And give up 2 on 1s. If Alfie's on the other PP point, it's open season.

Worst day in franchise history...

- Choosing to keep Redden over Chara
- drafting Daigle over Pronger
- something involving Yashin
but yeah... bad day.

Price is being handed the starters role.

Auld is not the answer

Does Shelley kill penalties, does anyone know?

No, he just takes them. Quite possibly the worst player in the league.

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

Glad to see him int he east. He hurts people.
Minny got a heck of a lot smaller losing Boogyman and John Scott.

I'm going to fuckin' lose it if this (Jokinen) comes to pass...

Dash, man... I'm sorry. I'm laughing, but I feel bad for you.

Kurtis Foster in Edmonton, 2 years, 1.8m per

I was bummed when I heard this, until....

Hamhuis!!!!!!!!!!!!

who in the world is john scott?

piss poor hockey player, but an absolute monster.


*phew* exciting day.

It could be worse you guys could be Islanders fans. Katie Strang from Newsday is making excuses for the Islanders. She's saying they offered more money to Hamhuis & Martin amongst others & they wouldn't sign. To be honest I really don't blame them. The Islanders are a few years away. These guys want to win NOW.

Late update from Kypreos saying L.A. presented Kovy with a multi-year offer. He said he'd like to sleep on it. Jersey still an option, too.

Memo to Garth Snow that Kovalchuk guy would look really good on JT's wing. You do have over 30 million to spend you know.

new york can probably not afford anywhere near the cap ceiling.
