malone was a boozhound i hear. funny how he had a good year when his contract is up. i did enjoy roberts though. orpik has to stay. no clue why he wouldn't want too, he gets all the ice time he can handle. should be an interesting afternoon. rolston is done in minnesota too, i guess.

Rumour has it the Pens put an offer out to Jagr

[Marcus ATW]

That would be awesome for the Pens!
Jagr said at the beginning of last season that it was going to be his last in the NHL. I think he has a lot of family problems at home and I think he wants to play in Check and he might just be following Martin Straka back home. I would hate to see him leave.

Also that the Deal to re-sign Malkin is close.... similar to Crosby's deal last year.

I think Orpik is going to end up in Buffalo..he's a local guy.

I have liked watching Orpik get better each year. Hate to see him go.
And Marcus, who do I hate? LOL, Jagr. Ugh. Hope he goes back to Czech. I hear Malkin is pretty much a go. Some were saying he wanted to go back to Russia, but he quelled that quickly.
Man, the Lightening are getting serious.

[Marcus ATW]

yeah me to it sounds like his heart is there!

Now they're talking to Rolston.

[Marcus ATW]

WOW!!! Mats Sundin with his stick handling and speed skating hahah rember that commercial? I think the flyers are going to deal Knuble or Upshall or both.

[IainDaniel]

Olie the Goalie to Tampa.

There are a few offers for sundin. I doubt you will see him go anywhere today...

I cant believe how Toronto and New York are ruining the market. Cliff Fletcher gave 3.5m to Jeff Finger, and the Rangers gave over 6mill a yr to Wade Redden. Ridiculous. The players are hardly worth this kind of money, But then again , who is.

There is a lot of stupid deals out there. Sure Brian Campbell is a pretty damn good defencemen, but 8+million a year over 8 years?

What about the offers out for Sundin by Vancouver 2 years, 10 mill a year.

And from the sounds of it Hossa is being offered enough money to buy his own franchise.

Owners are ****ing themselves up again. The Base Cap which teams must have, is higher then the original cap when it was first implemented. In the next few years we will be back to square one again. Bankruptcy claims and all that jazz pre-lockout.

Can't argue with you.
Rolston went back to NJ, I see.
How does Tampa afford all this?
