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.

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.

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?

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.

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)

I guess that makes sense, but I'm still more surprised from the Cujo perspective than the Penguin side of things.

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. Last edited by TazFTW : 08-03-2005 at 04:02 PM. |

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 |

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. |

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 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)
