Gonchar in Ottawa. 5.5 per for 3 years with full NTC. Should make our content Sens fans even happier.

Overpaid. He'll be 39 and making 5.5 and all of it will hit their cap. This year and next, it's a good deal... beyond that and it's awful risky. He plays no defense now, i don't think it's going to progress with age.

Good luck Sarge, thxs for the memories.

Nice signing by Ottawa to get Gonchar...but not sure why Gonchar wanted to go there, he'll be retired before Ottawa contends. 5.5m/per I guess is why, hehe.

 

[dash]

wow. Gonch scored with that deal.

No kidding...Cha ching.

 

[CatScrap]

no movement by the Sabres....
Don't WAIT REGIER!!!!

 

[CatScrap]

Coubour stays in Philly

 

[Dupster]

Maybe Buffalo picks up Mason as a backup?

there's not many very good goalies out there, but, there is a lot of depth in backups in that position this year. Don't have to chase one today.

Coburn re-signed in Philly as per Bobby Mack.

Overpaid because of how fast he is regressing. I agree about the term though. He's been injured a lot however. Only time will tell how this works out for Ottawa, really.

Edit: Christ those sentences are awkward.

 

[pixburgher66]

way overpaid. i would NEVER pay 5.5 (A RAISE???) for 3 years? nuts. i'll miss him, but that is NOT a good signing. JMO. watch game 7 from the MTL series. seriously.

 

[anderwho2513]

Told you Coburn would re-sign.

 

[CatScrap]

No details on the Coburn deal yet....

 

[evolver115]

Told you Coburn would re-sign.

yep, you called it. But, is Leighton and Bouch the answer?

 

[CatScrap]

Anybody got an idea whose sending sheets to Kovy?

 

[anderwho2513]

yep, you called it. But, is Leighton and Bouch the answer?

Depends. What's the question?

 

[pixburgher66]

ummmm...how does philly have money for 3+ with coburn? someone has to move, right?

 

[Dupster]

Tanguay to Calgary as per tsn twitter. One year

 

[dash]

Tanguay to the Flames - 1 year, 1.7 million

I get to dust off my "Shoot it, Alex!" again.

 

[evolver115]

Depends. What's the question?

Can Leighton and Bobby Boucher bring home the Stanley?

 

[anderwho2513]

ummmm...how does philly have money for 3+ with coburn? someone has to move, right?

They still have about 2 million for Carcillo and Powe, and we're set. Pronger's new deal kicks in and that savings are basically paying for most of Coburn's raise.

 

[Dupster]

Coburn is 2 years, 3.2/per
