Habs sign Satan according to CKAC radio
4 year deal |
Non-Eklund rumours (http://www.kuklaskorner.com/hockey -- Detroit-based blogger who became the anti-Eklund during the lockout)
- Cujo close to joining Pittsburgh - Canucks out of the Neidermayer sweepstakes. NJ, Calgary, and a mystery team remain Un-linked trade report: Brent Sopel to the Isles for a conditional draft pick |
Sopel to the Island for a conditional pick next year. Making room for Niedermayer? Forsberg?

As a Leafs fan, I think I want to buy a Habs jersey that says "Satan" on the back.

Boston signs Leetch.

That is soooo wrong. |

Just echoing everyone else- great signing for the Pens. SI |

Since this might be of interest to most of the folks in this thread, I thought I'd mention that the company I work for publishes a pretty in-depth fantasy hockey preview magazine every year. Because of the lockout, we didn't have enough time to do a print version this year (Canadian residents may be familiar with the newsstand version from previous years), but our online version will be out in mid-September, and we've started taking pre-registrations. It's free. No catches. http://magazine.forecaster.ca/hk05/ You're also welcome to download the just-released Football magazine if you want to get an idea of what it's like: http://magazine.forecaster.ca/generic-fb-05/ [/shameless plug] |

Interesting about bringing in CuJo to support/backup/mentor Marc-Andre Fleury. Not sure I like that. |
Quote:
why would Cujo go to Pittsburgh? or is he just going to make a career out of playing places where everyone in the stands wants someone else? for that matter, why would Pittsburgh be looking to add a goalie like Joseph - isn't Fleury ready? |
Quote:
Fleury very much had an up and down year in the AHL this past season and in fact was pulled as the starting goalie in the Calder Cup Playoffs. Perhaps they want to give him another year in the minors. That could be a way to save some cap space. |
Quote:
not that it's a big deal, but I wonder what number he'll wear? #2 (Eddie Shore) is retired and, well, Eddie is dead, making it hard for Leetch to pull a sleazy Jerry Rice move (not that he would) |
|
Berard signs with C-Bus. No link yet but more than one source is confirming it.
|
Quote:
I guess that makes sense, but I'm still more surprised from the Cujo perspective than the Penguin side of things. |
Leopold re-signs with Calgary for $2.3 million/2 years.
|
Quote:
and word on Kate? |
That Kuklas site now has a blurb about the Canucks scheduling a press conference for 5PM EDT. They already had one earlier for Naslund.
[edit]They've now changed the time to 5:45. |
re: Modano...
Quote:
That is freaking insane (the Boston and Chicago part). |
Man...I never thought it would be this crazy. On the other hand, I knew the Rangers would do what they do best. Draft poorly and sign UFA's that leave me scratching my head. Straka may be okay if he stays healthy but Malik ? A big, soft, pokechecking defenseman...wasn't that role reserved for Poti already ? Maybe Sather has a master plan so cunning.....or not.
So many signings, still so many millions thrown around. Overall the talent seems to be spreading nicely around the league. Oh well....I'll go get my popcorn :D |
Quote:
[edit]Confirmed. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story.asp...33&hubName=nhl |
Quote:
I figured he was a big enough name for those hanging around here. Maybe not... |
'Nucks presser put off until 5:45 ET.
|
Quote:
Rangers sign Martin Rucinsky. Rucinsky/Straka/Jagr, Czech line redux. |
Quote:
I think that's a pretty spooky line. |
Quote:
Ahh...now it all falls into place :D Might be a decent line this year if they all stay healthy. Czechmates v2.0 ? |
Kenny Holland LIVES!!
Matthieu Schneider signs a two year deal with the Wings. |
Quote:
Please let him sign with Boston. I love watching Modano play but this is like those baseball contracts for pitchers that reach into when they're 38 and 39- they'll be dying to unload it in 2 years. SI |
GREAT day for the Isles. We get Satan, who we've coveted for 2.5 years, and Sopel who is Bryan Berard-lite.
Two very, very good signings. Yashin is a perfect fit, and adding Zhitnik and Sopel increases our defensive depth! |
Saw this mentioned at a couple sites but not at the big boys (TSN, Sportsnet).
Islanders trade Michael Peca to the Oilers for a Mike York and a draft pick. |
Quote:
Boston WAY, WAY overpaid. Leetch will have a very bad year this year, I think. |
Quote:
TSN just confirmed. |
Quote:
GREAT signing for Columbus, IMO. |
Quote:
Wow...the Oilers are really getting active... |
Quote:
WOW. I think we have a monopoly on speedy young wingers now. Don't like this deal from an on-ice perspective, but financially, I understand that it was necessary. And it does get us back our 2nd rounder from the Sopel trade. So basically, today we did: -Sopel, Satan, and York (costing us an additional $2-3mil in cap space) for: -Peca Two first-line wingers and a #3/4 D-man for a #2 centerman with a bad contract -- consider me happy!!! |
I like the Oilers. :) I love this time in hockey. So much fun.
|
I wonder if the Peca trade is just making room for Palffy??? From my estimations, we only have about $8mil in cap space (but we've already qualified our RFA's and I'm estimating an average of $1mil each for them), so he would push us up above $35mil. However, if we do spend to the max we have one of the best top lines in the league! (Palffy/Yashin/Satan)

What a tease. |
Let me reiterate- this is just so freaking cool :D

I hear ya :D |
Eklund is saying Forsberg to the Flyers for Gagne!!!
|
I don't get that. Forsberg is an unrestricted FA.
|
and we are all saying Ek got hacked in his chatroom...
|
The only reason maybe Forsberg is a trade, is that the Flyers have to dump salary to make room for him?
|
Quote:
*scratches head* *removes Eklund's site from my favorites* |
and the rumor is for Gagne but that Gagne is traded away to clear cap room to sign Forsberg. I still think he got hacked
|
Quote:
Hahaha, that is ridiculous (him getting hacked). When he copy-pasted a CNN story and then deleted it, everyone in the chat claimed he got hacked (clearly he didn't since he never again mentioned it). If you read his site, you do have to take it with just a grain of salt. As long as you do that, you can get some idea of what kind of teams are at least looking at certain players. |
Quote:
It's almost...almost enough to make me wish for a lockout every other year. Some people were saying they should just blow up the league and have a redraft. This is the closest thing to it. All of these transactions have been incredibly fun to watch. |
Quote:
ah, I think I get it. sign Forsberg, trade Gagne. I was just thinking today that I'd probably by a Forsberg jersey depending on where he ends up. But there's no way in HELL I would ever wear a Flyers jersey. btw, Forsberg to Philadelphia is funny in so many ways. They going to try to get Mike Ricci and Chris Simon too? |
unless Forsberg took $1mil he isn't going to be a Flyer
|
Quote:
I can cope with Forsberg going a lot of places, but not Philadelphia (and not the fucking Rangers either). PLEASE. |
Quote:
Uh you do know Bob Clarke's penchant for reacquiring former Flyers don't you? |
Quote:
Sorry, we got the best swede out there signed already in Henrik Lundqvist :D No need for an injured, homesick Forsberg ;) |
I have no doubt that Eklund has legit sources, but I expect many of them will be feeding him information which is designed to help their own causes
|
I'm a Leafs fan and the fact they've done nothing isn't bothering me... I'm loving that all the "small" teams are getting some big name guys, it's good for the game!!
|
Quote:
As a Ranger fan, I do not want to see Forsberg on the team. That's all due to him being my most hated player (maybe a close second to Bryan Marchment). |
heh, now Ek has Roenick to LA to make room for Forsberg.
|
Quote:
it's a plurality then. All two Ranger fans don't want him. Guess we'll keep him. |
Quote:
Roenick (like Modano) would be another good fit for the Kings. |
Walkom head official????
God help us...there could only have been one choice that would have been worse.......eh ML?:D:D |
New rumour from Ek site....the Leafs signed a new beer vendor....$6.50 an hour...PLUS TIPS!
Waiting for official confirmation. |
http://www.hockeynations.com/index.p...c=15795&st=180
This guy seems to know what he's talking about....many predictions turned out right.....you need to register to read it, but its worth it |
Quote:
for the lazy, what's he saying? |
TSN has Forsberg to the Flyers, 2 years $10.7 million
|
he just said Roenick to LA to make room for Forsberg
|
I hate hockey
|
Quote:
You laugh now, but when you are watching the Leafs lose night after night, you'll be thankful there's a extra beer vendor around. And...you're supposed to tip beer vendors?!? No wonder my beer tastes like piss by the 3rd period. |
I fucking hate hockey
|
fucking Flyers
|
fuck Bobby Clark
fuck him fuck him fuck him fuck him |
fuck
|
And the people who say Eklund has no credibility are.. WHERE, now?
|
WOOT!!!
|
fuck Eklund
|
Hearing the Roenick AND Gagne would be traded to Kings to free up cap room...
|
Quote:
This guy just said the Rangers are offering Niedermeyer the max. |
fuck Roenick and Gagne
|
Quote:
we agree again...fuck the flyers |
I haven't seen DD this upset since that time Patrick Roy ripped down the bathroom door trying to get DD out of his house.
|
And like that, Roenick is traded to the Kings for draft picks.
|
And then this Code guy brings up Toronto talking to Boston about Thorton...
|
I like the deal.....Flyers are better with Roenick and Gagne rather than a broken down Forsberg who may go home after 1 season.
|
fuck the Kings
|
JEEZ, this is like a fantasy draft, but with real players and teams. It's ridiculous! Good fun though.
With the Devils would sign someone though :(. |
ESPN reporting that Modano has turned down the Stars' latest offer:

Good job by Eklund, breaking the story 15 minutes before it was announced.
Any word on Leetch to the Wings, Ek? |

Quote:
What he said. |
Quote:
It was the smart play, DD. Sacrificing Forsberg for Hejduk and Tanguay was a wise move by Lacroix. They are the future of the franchise. Like a surgeon, sometimes he must cut to heal... |
I hear there is a rumor coming out of Vancouver that the Canucks have signed Hamrlik. No idea if there is any truth to it.
|
Now it is being said Roenick isn't leaving the Flyers...
|
Quote:
I agree (although I would have rather seen Blake go than Foppa). still sucks to see him with the fucking Flyers. Toronto, I could handle. Vancouver I could handle. Not Philadelphia, and not for a measly $5 M |
