[straka91*]

Too bad its a 2-way though.

 

[Aurel Joliat]

Ryan White is not a UFA (RFA) and will be back with the Canadiens next year.

I would like to see Janssen with the Habs !

I know, think I got a few RFA's listed. If they get qualified Ill take them off the list.

Nick Tarnasky to Vityaz (KHL) No link.

Not really a signing but couple of kids with NHL HW potential got drafted.

Derek Mathers-Flyers
Led the OHL in fights last season with 27. Only 17 and already 6 ft 3 in and 230lbs. Really hope this kid makes it to the AHL/NHL in the near future.

Samuel Noreau-Rangers
Is 18 and 6 ft 5 in but only 206lbs. He needs to get some more meat on his bones if he intends to tangle with AHL/NHL heavies. His fighting style reminds a lot of Matt Kassian.
Rangers have 2 HW prospects in thier system now.

Yotes also drafted a couple gritty players as well.
Detroit drafted Nedomlel. Physical D-man who is willing to drop em. He is also from Sweden (anyone really suprised lol). Wouldnt call him a "fighter" though.

 

[stocker]

Ottawa drafted Darren Kramer[52 FIGHTS] last season.

 

[straka91*]

^Thats insane lol. 52 fights in 1 season?^

Haley gets qualifing offer.


Also read that Pens want an enforcer for 15-20 games a season next year.

 

[Aurel Joliat]

What's the record of fights in 1 season ? Derek Parker drop the gloves 70 times in 2005-06 in Quebec senior league !!!

Happy for Haley and the Pens only have to re-sign Godard

70 times lol. How many games are even in the Quebec Senior League season?

Its pretty certain that Godard will not be brought back.
I hope the Pens give Boulerice a crack at the NHL again. Always been a fan of his.

Bodie not qualified by Canes.

Reeves qualified by Blues
F. Mclaren qualifed by Sharks

Also want to add that Wild acquired a solid player in Powe. Gives it his all and hits too.

*Took Strudwick and Mara off my list. Added F. Mclaren.* (Dont want list too long.)

Pens might still sign Rupp before Friday.

Stortini and Jacques not qualified by Oilers.

Read the Leafs are going to try hard to get Rupp Friday if he becomes a UFA.

 

[Worthy men]

Rupp is more than just an enforcer. That's why Burke would sign him.

He would be an awesome addition. A Brown-Rupp-Orr line would be fun to watch.

Ryan Wilson qualified. No link.

Some rumblings (more speculation than rumor) that Holmgren might bring back Asham.

Via RDS.ca, The Pittsburgh Penguins are actively shopping Mike Rupp's contract rights league wide.

Rupp is all over the place. He resigned, almost signed, testing FA, and now on the block.

Hopefully the Canucks can sign a legit heavy or a good light heavyweight in free agency. I'm doubtful that Rypien will be returning and would rather have someone other than Glass providing the toughness on the 4th line

 

[straka91*]

^^Maybe another MW, doubt a heavy will get signed. I think Gillis wants to keep his team rolling Euro style hockey like Detroit, Tampa, and MTL.^^

TimSassone Tim Sassone
Add these names to Jan Hejda as UFAs who interest #Blackhawks: Mike Rupp and Matt Bradley. Size, size, size.

They could use the extra grit besides Scott lol. Bradley had a good rebound year last season. He actually won some fights.

unfortunately I think your correct, even if we picked up someone like Boulton I would be happy, I just wanna see someone who can hang with the heavies

If I had my way every team would have 2 heavies. Also noticing Boulton is getting very little love around here sadly. Dude should be one of the top sought after enforcers this offseason but it doesnt look promising. Maybe Gillis will suprise us with a Godard or Boulton signing.

Asham signed 1 year 775k contract. Solid.

Oilers hinting at what they will do for thier toughness in the coming weeks. Since they have no one really gritty under contract so far. Im getting that they may want an enforcer on a 2 way. We shall see.

Buffalo still wants to get Mccormick signed for next season.

Heard Rupp shot down a 2 year offer tonight. So thats why Pens got the Asam deal done instead. No link.
