Seriously. It's been a no-brainer for so long. Never once while watching a game this season did I think, "Boy, I wish they would have just let them fight out that icing that they just called."

Yeah, Roy offered him for Rene Bourque in January. PAP was awful this past year, but thought he had more value than Danny Briere.

Predators didn't qualify MDZ, he's a UFA now.

Getting Briere is better than buying out PAP Smear.

The Wings want one of Niskanen or Boyle, but Ehrhoff now available, they may sign two D and attempt to move Kindl (why just not offer Kindl straight up for Ehrhoff and worry about the recapture later? ). Wings have 15 M or so in room before resigning RFA DeKeyser, Tatar and Sheahan or any UFAs, Legwand and Alfredsson being the only real candidates there. Talks about 2C options have subsided until after their D options are off the board.

Excited/Frightened for tomorrow, I think Stastny will be playing Central division next year with either Colorado, Dallas, or St.Louis.

[Twenty Four]

Real interested to see what Yzerman decides to do in FA tomorrow. And to see where Miller lands

I thought Arizona could of been in the running for NastyStastny too, St Louis is a good fit though (with Oshie I dig)

I dont wanna lose my boy though, I feel like he is as much of a Colorado Native as me... shame

My college buddy who lives in the Springs and is a huge Avs fan feels the same way. He called me last night to tell me he's going to be pissed at me forever if he signs in St. Louis. With our scoring needs I think it'll be worth having him mad.
