markierung Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 (edited) Connolly resigns with Buffalo for 2 years(9 mill) .....Sportsnet too much money in my opinion for a guy who hasn't been healthy in years They don't give Briere 5 million but they give this guy 4.5? That GM gets way too much credit for simply keeping Lindy Ruff for 10+ years. Edited March 4, 2009 by markierung Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saskhab Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Anyone notice that Columbus has put all their faith in a 20 year old rookie goalie? A year to the day after... but yet, everyone now thinks it's a good idea. Hmm.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markierung Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 (edited) TSN saying Jokinen going to Calgary is almost done. That would make them A definite contender. Along with DET, SJ and VAN It would give them a better team than the year they made the finals Edited March 4, 2009 by markierung Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForumGhost Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 (edited) I bet the guys on TSN are sorry they called Vermette up. He won't shut up. Update: Leopold to Calgary apparently. So, Jokinen back up for grabs? I wonder what their cap situation is now. If they want him, the have to move big money, which Pheonix won't take. Also, Andy Wozniewski for Danny Richmond.

jetsniper Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 (edited) HAHAHAHA, Leopold back to Calgary My brother in law is gonna be pissed, he hated him. We get Nycholat, prospect and a pick according to TSN's website. I figured he'd be going East, I'm surprised. Jokinen would've been a bad deal for the Flames, that'd throw a gigantic wrench into re-signing Cammy who they obviously don't want to lose. It's already going to be tough to re-sign him, Jokinen would make it worse. Edit: We get Ryan Wilson and Montreal's 2nd round pick. Eh.

jetsniper Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I don't think McGuire got a whole lot of sleep, he's been a dick to everyone all day (more then usual). It's kind of amusing to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Re: the Leclaire trade... HIGHWAY ROBBERY! Holy crap, what the heck is going on in Columbus. I don't care that Mason had taken over as #1, Leclaire is one of the best goalies in the game. Get a better training program and maybe those health issues get better. AND a 2nd? For Vermette? I mean, give Vermy credit, very good two-way forward. But... But this is highway robbery. Columbus fans are going to be regretting this for years to come. Incidentally, best non-deadline move (by far) so far? Burrows. I would have given my left leg for that guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be wrong, but I don't think your left leg would be all that valuable to the Vancouver Canucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetsniper Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 (edited) Toronto officially claims Martin Gerber and Eric Weitz Dallas claims Brendan Morrison Sabres acquire Mikael Tellqvist from Phoenix, not sure whats going the other way.

ForumGhost Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Gerber to Toronto. Couple other names picked up off waivers, but surprisingly Satan and Roberts clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markierung Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 (edited) I may be wrong, but I don't think your left leg would be all that valuable to the Vancouver Canucks. Just Reported, Burke trades a 6th round pick for this "left leg". When asked by reporters as to why a rebuilding team would trade for a left leg, Burke replies "I don't have to answer to the media." He then procedes to go back on his tough guy words and explains the deal to the media: "We needed some added toughness and I feel we get this with the aquisition of left leg. Besides, what good has ever come from a 6th round pick" HAHAHA! I can't beleive that Burke picks up Gerber. For what? I'm so glad the laffs got Burke. He's going to run them into a hole!

Probably just means they're shutting Toskala down for the year. His contract is done at the end of the season anyways, hardly putting them in any sort of hole.

jetsniper Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I've read various rumors that Gainey has inquired about Duke. Since Giguere has no idea how to trade, it probably won't cost much either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markierung Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I don't see how antropov would be an upgrade on any of our C. And he doesn't fit on the 4th I've read various rumors that Gainey has inquired about Duke. Since Giguere has no idea how to trade, it probably won't cost much either! who's Duke?
