Now he's in a position where he has to trade for wing. Unless you want Jordan Caron playing in your top six.
**** Iginla.

To me that leaves Penner, Brunner, Iginla (which I still wouldn't mind) or someone via trade like Setoguchi or something completely out of left field. I have a feeling he was going for Ryan too and lost out to Ottawa.

Stanley Cup Stupid!
Montreal had no problems walking away from Ryder and signing an old, washed up Briere instead. The results always seem decent but I think he drives coaches mad. Heck he drove Bruins fans mad much of his time with the Bruins.

It looks like the Bs are shopping for the short-term, low-cost guys, and if they don't accept the price the Bruins are offering, then they are moving on. If one of these guys bites on a low-ball offer, then they will bring them in, but maybe they are trying to save some room for a trade or offer sheet. At least, that's what I hope is happening. Hopefully the next shoe drops and this all makes a little more sense.
Why wouldn't you want Iginla? Him on the 2nd line would be incredible.
Playoffs aside, the guy put up 33 points in 44 games last season (11 points in 13 games with Pitts) and (shortened season aside) hasn't scored less than 30 goals since 2000.
Sure he may have slowed down a bit as he gets up there in age, but he's not going to regress that poorly. And really, 12 points in 15 games in the playoffs isn't too terrible (better than Seguin)

Yeah, and I'll urinate on an electrical socket before I'll bank on Iginla signing here vs somewhere else.
Jagr is too SLOW.

People really need to relax and wait for what PC has planned like he said Thursday. Alfie and Ryder wanted to sign elsewhere so be it and move on.

I think Khudobin will get more of a chance to play in Carolina than many think. Ward has been on a fast decline lately and has injury concerns as mentioned. This past season he struggled to maintain starter position with with Dan Ellis. They put up almost identical stats and Ward even had the benefit of playing with a healthy Faulk for much of his time. There is a love affair in Carolina with Ward given the way he came in during the cup year, but like I said his position as a starter was even questioned this past season with Ellis behind him. I wouldn't be surprised if it is a 1a 1b situation there next year.
well that will upset me too and probably chiarelli as well...he will do something, i for one am happy he never settled for ryder...i would be good with iginla, unlike most people here, I still saw him play in Calgary and saw he had lots left. The guy still played well for Pittsburgh too until he met the Bruins. Lots of Pens looked bad against us...I would love to see his one timer on our power play...
