Mr. Nasty

Hamrlik was really only injured a lot a couple years ago. He has played 75, (51), 81, 73 games the last 4 NHL seasons. Souray on the other hand. 81, 75, 63, 34, 52, 19 ...that is a lot of games missed. His shoulder and wrist are constantly subject to injury.

Not about you...lol. I added the Lang signing and then saw it reprted 2 posts above. The post can only be edited, not deleted (to the best of my knowledge) unless your a mod. So I put "nevermind"

nevermind

I am happy with that. Leaves room for more additions

Hooray. I down and 3 more signings to go

TSN really jumped the gun on that one. So much for the Vancouver source.

I can count only roughly 7 million left to spend with only 15 guys signed. (with Nylander not included...I am assuming they still have to pay Kasparaitis) They still need to re-sign Lundqvist, Avery and 5 other guys. They will need to shed salary later if they want to sign Shanny. http://www.nhlnumbers.com/nyr.html

Says they are in duscussions. Well at least it's a start.

Notable players still un-signed: Some of those forwards overlap between checking and scoring Scoring Forwards Handzus Zubrus Guerin Comrie Selanne Yashin Shanahan Kozlov (the other one) Nagy Nylander Forsberg Lang Carter Amonte Friesen Smolinski Stefan Checking Forwards Peca Asham Belanger Winchester May Lindros Nolan Ricci Defense Souray Numminum Preissing Hamrlik Stuart Miller Berard Sutton deVries Sopel

Not only did Montreal offer more for Smyth and Briere. Dreger just said they were in the Gomez sweepstakes as well. Very frustrating.

TSN is now announcing it. Almost word for word

Ortmeyer to Nashville http://www.tennessean.com/apps/pbcs.dll/ar...022/1002/SPORTS BTW it is actually Howard Berger reporting the Smyth signing. He was also the first to report Blake to TO earlier.

FYI Hockeybuzz and Sportsnet have been the first guys announcing most of the signings today. TSN has been lagging a bit today.

More bad news. Smyth is heading to Colorado. Montreal offered 6 years at 39M and Smyth decided to take less money and fewer years!!!! http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog.php?post_id=8381

last update at bottom of page http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog.php?post_id=8333

Drury also signed with the Rangers. This is terrible! http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/article.jsp...701_162329_4180

According to Howard Berger, the Habs have offered Ryan Smyth a 5 year contract. http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog.php?post_id=8363 Blake also signed with Toronto

Ek has been talking about that deal for a week. He has been pretty accurate all week...surprisingly.

I think Spector jumped the gun on that one. He says it is from WFAN radio but their website says nothing.

Niedermeyer has told Burke he is leaning towards retirement. That explains the Schneider signing.

Rafalski gone too...it's not gonna be another one of those summers?

Drury is better and more coveted than Briere. If it will take less, then the Habs should offer him what they offered Briere.

Makes me cringe to think what Drury might make...

Schneider to Anaheim...very disappointing. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=212422&hubname=nhl

Zednik and Brett McLean to Florida http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=212419&hubname=nhl
