A very busy day in NJ continues as the Devils re-sign Brendan Shanahan to a 1 year, 600k contract. We feel like we have the deepest forward core in the league and a solid defense that still might be improved. Your post-Shanny signing NJ Devils

Parise - Zajac - Langenbrunner
Elias - Langkow - Bergfors
LaRose - Zubrus - Clarkson
Shanny - Rolston - Halischuk
Ex: Pelley, PL3

Martin - Corrente

2009-2010 Pittsburgh Penguins

Pittsburgh Penguins get great value in a deal for Ales Kotalik!

1 year, $1.9M is the deal. Here is our lineup with maybe only one or 2 more tweaks to go:

Kariya(6)-Crosby(8.7)-Guerin(2.5)
Kostitsyn(.816667)-Malkin(8.7)-Kotalik(1.9)
Cooke(1.2)-Staal(4)-Kennedy(.725)
Talbot(1.05)-Zigomanis(.6)-Adams(.6)

Orpik(3.75)-Gonchar(5)
Letang(.835)-Eaton(2)
Lovejoy(.85)-Goligoski(1.65)

Fleury(5)
Curry(.6)

Total:$56.48

We are still looking for a big, physical stay-at-home #6 D-man. Must be cheap. Will give up plenty of picks/prospects to get the job done.

 

[struckbyaparkedcar]

That's a great deal for Kotalik. The one impending FA who I didn't want to leave at the deadline.

Jay Bouwmeester- 2 offers. Division rivals. one significantly better than the other.

Hey come on now thats a bit insulting. We made alot of great moves we'll be alot better next season.

Oh, crap. I had forgotten all about your offer.

I was talking $$$ wise, anyway.

But, J Bo has made a decision. It'll be announced shortly.

 

[888 98 twins]

Coyotes waive Petr Prucha, Nigel Dawes, Daniel Winnik and Joakim Lindstrom.

Edmonton puts a claim for Joakim Lindstrom

The Leafs put in a claim in for Dawes and Lindstrom

put a claim in for Winnik.

puts a claim for Daniel Winnik as well.

This should all be done in the waivers thread. Hence the name.

Ouch now I am insulted. Great signing though.

How?? That's over a million more than what you were offering, in one of the greatest, if not the greatest, hockey cities in the world.

 

[Kessel>Seguin +]

Dont get upset about it, big name players tend to flock to more competive teams, I know you are not in a rebuilding mode with some of the trades you have made but people still look at Atlanta as a team outside of the playoffs for now. Dont get discouraged, that is just how things work

I actually thought Bouwmeester might be a more Atlanta type guy rather than a spotlight kinda guy. And I resent Montreal being "significantly" better

Who's the last big name UFA that signed in Atlanta?
And when the agent said 'significantly better' I'm pretty sure he was talking money-wise (hence the over a million more comment)
