Selanne should finish his NHL career where it started in Winnipeg...

/Also can't believe the Avs haven't retired his jersey yet

He should finish in Phoenix so he can have an awkward ceremony.

I think they're waiting so they can do a joint ceremony with him and Kariya.

I wonder if Mirtle had a chuckle when he wrote the following:

Gill has slowed down since he was a key piece of that 2009 Penguins team, but he can likely fill a role as a veteran third pairing option who can kill penalties and tutor young teammates, especially on a relatively cheap contract.

Gill one of many NHL free agents anxious to find home - The Globe and Mail

If Gill slowed down any more he'd go back in time (to when he was faster).

Beware of the Sharks this year... they will be SO much faster :rollseyes:
Y! SPORTS - San Jose Sharks new home, away jerseys

To decrease the weight of the jersey, the black shoulder cap was removed. The popular jumping Shark patch will remain on the shoulder. Even more weight was cut out by removing the stripes on the body of the jersey.

So the whole problem with them failing in the playoffs was getting worn out from the excess weight of their jerseys.

It all makes sense now.

/Not a fan. Even a bit of piping or something around the shoulders and hem. Looks like a practice jersey like this.

Is that a legitimate reason or is that what they're telling people so they can save a couple of pesos?

@TH2NSTATSGUY 7h
Ryan Suter & Zach Parise will each make $12 M salary in 2013-14. In 2000-01, entire Wild roster made $11.7 M salary...total.

Canadiens Montréal ‏@CanadiensMTL 2m Canadiens have reached an agreement in principle with free agent defenceman Douglas Murray on a one-year contract (2013-14).

I think it also includes a no-movement clause

Edit: $1.5 shmill is the amount

 

[mooger_35]

Whoever signs Hal Gill will have a no-movement clause too but it doesn't mean the same thing.

There were rumo(u)rs that the Canucks were interested in Murray - Maybe they'll bring Hal Gill onboard now.

Sabres new "A" and "C" for their alternate jerseys.

Pure awesome.

Caps Sign Grabovski, 1 year 3 mil.

Fantastic signing.

Caps Sign Grabovski, 1 year 3 mil.

Fantastic signing.

It sure is a fantastic signing.

He's an upgrade on Ribeiro... big time, IMO.

Almost half as cheep and at the very least a stop gap to get to Kuznetzov.

He's going to light up toronto
