E1??

With Eklund does it really matter what rating he gives. He just makes stuff up to attract naive fans.

 

[Tabarouette]

Me too. Kills one teams cap and Clarkson will feel Pejorative Slured for signing the deal in a couple years when everyone hates him and he's part of the rumour mill for years.

nah the league's gonna give the GMs a couple of free buyouts for their mistakes

bunch of crybabies

 

[OpenIceHit]

Teams are slowly building their team for Fall and soon won't be too interested trading their players.

 

[GoHabsGo76]

Habs won't do nothing.

Is this just poor grammar or are you actually saying we won't just sit on our hands and do nothing?

I'd like to see at least one signing today. Hoping for Lapierre or Hendricks...

[Dichow Stopper]

The Pens made the first great signing of the day with Scuderi.

 

[Monctonscout]

Bergevin wont do a thing...

I hope he does nothing until the prices come down. I'd rather have cap room for lesser UFA's at good cap hit than overspend on average players.

lulz. Eklund is GOD.

 

[Phil Parent]

E1??

I did a double-take at that too! What's the source of that? A trade offer in NHL 13?!

 

[The Nightman]

God damn I hate 'The Reporters'

 

[CN_paladin]

Why didn't we try to get Scuderi????

 

[Andy]

Maybe, but the poster I quoted was ready to give the DRW the division... weiss doesn't make them THAT much better.

Weiss + Alfredsson added to an already good team.

The CBA will expire years after the end of Clowe's contract. there is no way for him to ever be bought out.

 

[Pierre Dagenais]

Gaston Therrien is so stupid

 

[HuGo Sham]

Wow thats alot of signings in the 1st hour. Im kind of surprised.

why? they've had several days to set it up

 

[Tyson]

I don't mind Weiss signing with Detroit.

Anything to make TML foolish is good imho. They buy out Grabo, fail to sign Lecavalier, fail to sign Weiss.. and now maybe they'll be forced to give a stupid contract to Bozak. Sure they got Bolland and still have Great Leader Kadri but they still have a hole at center.

Misery loves company

 

[Malakhov]

UFA day should always be like this year, the 2 days the players could talk to teams are speeding things a whole lot. For once, this is entertaining.

 

[Analyzer*]

MacArthur 2 years 3,25 per.

 

[JPGoHabsGo]

lulz. Eklund is GOD.

He just throws darts at a list of players, then spins a wheel 3 times to get teams said player will be traded to

 

[Tabarouette]

seriously anyone complaining about Bergevin not doing anything right now doesn't understand how ridiculous Clowe's contract is and how ridiculous Clarkson's contract is going to turn out

 

[sharks9]

Why didn't we try to get Scuderi????

Who says we didn't?

 

[Gary320]

Why didn't we try to get Scuderi????

Do you know that we didn't?

 

[WhiskeySeven*]

God damn I hate 'The Reporters'

They're Exhibit A for my argument in favour of ultra-late term abortions. After watching their schtick every deadline and free agent day, I'm certain their mothers are all pro-choice.

 

[Bloumeister]

Horton is being underrated. He's been consistent since Florida. He's a good player that brings up his level in important games.

He was inconsistent (but young) in Florida. I wanted to Habs to trade for him then, but I have to admit that he became a better fit with Boston. Not sure he would have been as good in Montréal had he been brought in 3-4 years ago.

It's all a question of environment.

As for now: Horton might not thrive in this new environment. Different style of play and all. Colombus might finally be getting there, but they're not the Bruins, that's for sure. He becomes the de facto top dog on that team (Gaborik is UFA next year). He might have signed in a smaller/lighter market, but all eyes will be on him.

 

[Andy]

I don't give a **** about the LEafs. Enough now.
