Here's hoping my Kings go for Gaborik, but they are not going to give him a long term deal like that.

I saw this on hour ago, holy crap! Guess they wanted insurance in case Havlat fled for other pastures.

Big rumor in Chicago now is that the Hawks are trying to move Huet and his ginormous contract so they can resign Khabibulin (please please please please). I am guessing there is little chance the Hawks will resign Havlat now unless he is willing to sign a one-year deal, which is doubtful.

Khabi to EDM is being reported as almost done deal...

Christ, Brashers in now a Ranger.

Sather has his head up his a$$.

How can we get rid of Sather is the burning question!

[gpugliese]

I was going to say... Sather fleeces Montreal yesterday and then signs Brasher for 1.4 per over 2 today. What was wrong with Orr at 1.0 per over 4 years?

Had Pronger not been traded to Philly, Brash wouldn't be a Ranger. Ugh.

Dale Tallon...what the hell is wrong with you?!

Khabibulin to the Oilers

Someone else must be watching TSN via NHL Network.

*EDIT* Or maybe you are north of the border and get the real TSN. If so, lucky you...

4 yrs 15 mil

Great, we lost our #1, and picked up a huge contract. Good luck getting under the cap next year Dale.

Saved 12 million between Havlat and Khabbi (though I wanted to keep the Wall for sure and trade Huet).....picked up $5.3 mill with Hossa, 1.2 mill with Kopceky and 3.3 mill with Bolland. So far we are 2.2 mill to the good....if we could dump Sopel, even better.

True, but I felt both Havlat and Khabbi were a huge part of our success last year. Would like to keep both around, however I don't see that happening. Also with Kane, Toews and Barker needing new contracts next year it will be tough to fit under the cap.

We can't find the back of the net with a GPS and Sather gets Brashers. Brilliant!!

He's got to be going hard for Gaborik, or if all else fails, Heatley.

The Heatley offer is gone I think.

Lets hope he is going after Gaborik and if he lands him we can keep him healthy.

Frankly, with Sather being Sather I don't hold out much hope.

Good luck on that. The Wild couldn't figure it out. He's fantastic when healthy, but he's rarely healthy.

[icehog3]

And Gaborik it is for the Rangers!

[yourchoice]

The defensive muscle being moved around this off-season is incredible! Pronger, Boumeester, Komisarek...

[Ahbroody]

damn tom I wanted to post that.

If I were the Hawks I would be sweating. Hossa is now a Hawk. Cursed the Pens then cursed the Wings. Now its your turn. hahahahahahahahahah. Actually very suprised to see him leave after he took a little less to go to the wings for the cup. That said I think he may have looked at Osgood and who they have in the system and been a little uneasy.

Nice to see some bombshells going off on day 1. As usual the Sharks are nowhere to be found.

If the Hawks can make it to the Finals like the Pens and the Wings, Mike...I will gladly take the "curse".

[Ahbroody]

hahahha thats true.
I sold my first round tickets this year because I knew what was going to happen. Seen it to many times before. Guess I would gladly take him to if it meant the sharks would make a finals appearance.
