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.

leighton and bouch it is then? philly is playing dangerously. just sayin'.

 

[loki604]

McKenzie: Savard to CGY for Regher is a serious consideration for both teams, but Savard has not yet been asked to waive NTC by BOS. Stay tuned.

Can Leighton and Bobby Boucher bring home the Stanley?

Maybe. If the defense can hold, I don't see why not. Actually, I do, but if I don't look to the immediate south or west, I can pretend the Pens and Caps don't exist.

Ehh. Leighton was a hero for half of last year. This city is just so down on him after the SCF. We were dying for him to come back from injury before then.

As much as I hate not having a stud #1 goalie, Leighton shouldnt be that bad. At least until Bobrovsky and ericksson are ready in a season or two.

+1 Rep. well played.

Maybe they'll trade a blue-liner and bring along a top tier tender to put in front of leighton. Mason, IMO, would make for a great addition to your team.

Plus our defense is a force now. As long as Meszaros can rebound from that -28 ...

 

[pixburgher66]

Nabby to OTT??? no confirmation

 

[dash]

I wouldn't mind a top line of Tanguay - Savard - Iginla. Of course, they might score 3 goals and be on the ice for 3 goals against.

 

[PhillyPhaithful48]

Noooo Nabby. Sign in Philly for 3 million....

When was he -28? He was only half that bad last year. But still,

 

[anderwho2513]

If Kaberle played for, let's say Buffalo, would we still be getting Brett Favre-like coverage on something that hasn't had any new news for weeks?

 

[PhillyPhaithful48]

I should have said -12132 so you would pick up on my exaggeration

Actually, I'm looking at his yahoo page, and taking out his rookie season when he was a +34 playing next to Chara, he is a -28 for his career. Good call.

 

[PhillyPhaithful48]

I thought he was a plus 6 on his career? what am I looking at...

 

[Dupster]

Anton Babchuk, Carolina, 1 year, 1.4m

 

[PhillyPhaithful48]

ohhhhhhh retard alert. I get what you are saying.

 

[anderwho2513]

I thought he was a plus 6 on his career? what am I looking at...

If you take away his rookie year, he's -28. Or, in his last 4 years, he is -28.

 

[Dupster]

Bobby Mack reporting Paul Martin and the Pens are close.

 

[evolver115]

TSNBobMcKenzie: Deal is not done yet, stress that, but Paul Martin eager to sign in PIT and PIT eager to sign him. Working towards that. Stay tuned.
