Where will Niemi end up? I'm guessing Washington.

Ahhhh... the off-season. Where hope springs eternal and I can delude myself into thinking my Hurricanes can make the playoffs.

At least Cam Ward is healthy. Losing Whitney will be tough and with Brind'Amour retired we will need to see the young guys step up.

Keep an eye on Brandon Sutter!

The San Jose Sharks have signed free-agent forward Jamal Mayers to a one-year contract.

The Boston Bruins signed 18-year-old Tyler Seguin, the second overall pick in the 2010 NHL entry draft, to an entry-level contract, the Bruins announced Tuesday.

Ilya Kovalchuk's future is being decided in Boston. Arbitrator Richard Bloch is holding a hearing that will conclude on Thursday to decide whether the New Jersey Devils' 17-year, $102 million contract to the free-agent forward can be rejected by the league, NHL.com reported on Wednesday.

Apparently Madano didn't want to play for San Jose. Turns out they made an offer too.

Go Wings!

I still think Niemi goes to san Jose, I can't believe they really think they are gonna make a run with Nittymaki (sp??). Tampa Bay is a possibilty

And i don't think there is any way they will hold up Kovy's contract. If they structured it a bit more reasonable maybe, but they went over the edge.

should be a great season, a strong Eastern Conference, but same story as last year. I'm really suprised Washington didn't pick up another good D this year. Thats really what their team needs to be a cup winner

Unless there is some specific language capping the length of a contract I dont' see how the league can win an appeal. IMO Im' suprised a team hasn't signed a 30 yr deal with 90% of the money paid out in the first 5 years (with 1/6th of the cap hit), and then simply resigned them to a different contract after 5 years.

We like him as well... would have been nice to see him get another ring.

It was well known that he wanted to play in either Det or Minn because of ties to both. He will have more impact on Dets roster then SJs so that was likely a factor also.

Sorry I couldnt respond on the other thread yesterday was busy. Will do my best to address a few of your questions.

1) Sharks losing Malholtra Blake and Nabby. You apparently missed how bad old man Blake got exposed all year and how many penalties he took. How many goals resulted from this. I spent the year posting about it. No one here was sad to see him leave. Nabby was horrible after the Olympics and in past years playoffs. Again no one wanted him back. Why the coaching staff said they didnt want him back and there would be no negotiations. Who is praising these people? Not us over here.

2) You asked why I would want Niemi as the Sophmore slump. First he only played 37 regular season games which may help, second he showed great nerve more then Howard, third and most important is 10-11 the last year the NHL exists? I think he will be good for many years. He is young and good and there are many years of Hockey to be played. I would like him as there will be hockey beyond next year. They may loose their chance to get him now and lock him up for years to come. Kind of need to look past your nose for that one.

3) "Lastly, without Malhotra, who's going to take a faceoff for the Sharks?" You asked. Why dont you read this. http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=5...vid=nhl-search Its the last segment. Apparently you missed the fact about the Sharks 5 centers dominating the League. You ever here of that guy Scott Nichol? Suprised someone so into STATS would ask such a question.

One more thing and this will kill this and I dont expect you or Christos to ever Yammer about this again.
http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=5...id=DL|NHL|home

From the Wings head Coach Mike BabCOCK
"We're trying to get back to being the Red Wings, not like last year when we were taped together all year, had no depth and we rode people too hard so when we got to the playoffs we were exhausted," Babcock said.

Hey Christos why dont you go tell Babcock hes wrong. You and Mike clearly must know more then the head coach.

That would be GAME, SET, MATCH. I will expect a very enlightened post from you to in response to Babcock and what I said all year.
