And in the 5th draft Andy Bathgate, grandson of HHOF-er Andy Bathgate. When's Austin Lemieux turn 18?

Definitely, but only if Gustavsson says no and the Ducks will take back a salary. Other than that, yeah, it makes too much sense not to happen.
You guys want Toskala?

While I am sure the Ducks would take back salary, the only reason they do it is to clear sal cap space (which the Leafs have). So whatever salary they take back would have to be significantly less than Jiggy's salary and if the salary doesn't take care of a particular need for the Ducks, it would have to be short term, too, so the Ducks don't get in a situation where they already need to turn around and trade said same player off again.

You're probably right - but you know, with Brent Sutter coming to Calgary I can't see him wanting Phaneuf traded given their connection from the Red Deer Rebels days... ... but if Darryl Sutter is trying to trade him, I'm wondering if it is because Brent has issues with his attitude? Which might make some GMs think twice.

Great flame war going down on Ek's site....looks like people are finally fed up with his BS and are asking for refunds...and he is giving them....Talk about losing any credibility he has left.

Which site? Is that the one that Eklund guy runs? I follow him on Twitter and was wondering how credible his information can be. He talks about meeting with sources all the time so I wondered if he knew what he's talking about...I guess that's not the case?

In other not at all surprising former-Red Wing soon-to-be UFA news, Ty Conklin is not coming back. It looks like it's going to be the Chris Osgood/Jimmy Howard show! Hopefully Osgood stays healthy and mentally fit for the vast majority of the season.

There is going to be no Chris Osgood/Vesa Toskula show. And I will not be tolerating anymore of this Vesa Toskula nonsense.

There is a silver lining here though. With Howard playing for the big club, this will give Larsson a chance to be the starter with GR. I think either him or McCollum is the future goalie for the Wings.

I actually hope the Flyers sign Conklin. Mainly because the guy I work with is really good friends with Conklin, they played hockey together and Conklin stayed with him while playing for Pittsburgh. So if he signs with the Flyers, I'll get great tix to Flyers game and get to hang out with the team!

FOFC threads are where I get about 95% of my hockey news from, so I just have one question after reading this page of replies...
Who doesn't have Vesa Toskala? If you're going to clone a goalie and ship him off to every team in the league, aren't there better choices? Craig Billington can't be doing much these days.

I'd welcome Conklin back, provided it was a 1 year deal worth the same $750K he made last year. He was pretty instrumental in Fleury learning how to play the puck behind the net. And then Fleury forgot it all as soon as Conklin left.

Carolina signs their first RFA of the offseason as Jussi Jokinen is retained for basically $3.4 million over two years ($1.5 this year, $1.9 next year). I like this signing a good deal as Jokinen has proven versatility to play all the forward positions and did well to blend in on any line combination we put him on this year. As Carolina tends to be a playoff bubble team, his abilities in the shootout are something that the Hurricanes really need as well. The team's left a lot of points on the table the last few years because they couldn't win a shootout to save their lives at times.

Pens sign 2
Bill Guerin 1 year, being reported $2.8M Craig Adams 2 years, $550K per Guerin is a little higher than I hoped. Tkachuk's got $2.1M to stay in St Louis. But he'll play out this year and retire, really fit in well, and Sid and him seemed to have a great relationship (the anti-Recchi?) Adams...that is less than the $750K he made this year. He's a perfect 4th line, knows his role, plays the PK and generally keeps his mouth closed and fills a spot. That he does it at $550K for a team up against the cap is even better.

I guess not. Coming off shoulder surgery, I figure he's nice to pick up on the cheap but not worth the qualifying offer.
If the shoulder surgery makes him play any softer I'd rather him not even bother coming back. Brian Burke would have run him out of town by now |

Handful of others who didn't receive QO's:
Fredrik Sjostrom Steve Eminger Anthony Stewart Marcel Goc Lukas Kaspar Dan Fritsche Peter Olvecky Ole-Kristian Tollefsen Jeff Woywitka Poor Jeff Woywitka...how many stops has he made now without really playing? Philly, Edmonton, St Louis...and probably missing somewhere. Tollefson intrigues me a little. Turner, or other CBJ fans, any thoughts? He'd strictly be a 3rd pairing guy in Pittsburgh, with Alex Goligoski. Can he be counted on to stay back while Gogo pushes the puck, or is he too busy looking for the big hit?

Tollefsen would be a great fit for the Ducks also IMO. Defensive minded, can skate and has a nasty attitude. I wouldn't mind seeing him here as the 6th/7th guy next year either.

I'd say its more of this. Tollefsen's is probably a 6/7th defensemen, but he's redundant on our roster (LH stay-at-home). He's a tough player, good at sticking up for his opponents, sound player around the net, but he's not a great skater and makes poor decisions with the puck when even slightly pressured. Biggest flaw is 'receiving the rush', he tends to come up and attempt to smash the winger against the boards, rather than staying in position. |

I was actually hoping Adams would hit the free agent market and the Flyers would look at him. Like you said he's a good 4th liner and can play the PK. Guerin might be a little high but its only 1 year. Just hope that he fares better than Gary Robers. |

I'd always heard that Dan Fritsche was considered a big prospect but he hasn't done much in the NHL thus far. I don't know that he's had much of an opportunity in Columbus or New York or his most recent stop (forget where) but some team should sign him as a potential upside guy.
