Chuko Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 The Atlanta Thrashers have signed forward Eric Perrin to a two year deal worth $1.5 million. Wow ! $1.5 million for Perrin !?!?! Talk about an average player... is that what an average player gets on day 1 of the UFA market opening ? The way GMs are handing money out you would think that the lock out season was 40 years ago. Nobody learned anything. When the cap starts going back down, teams that signed players like Brière to long term very rich contracts will be in deep doodoo. I can't believe the direction the market is taking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smon Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 750K per year...sheesh, not 1.5M per year Jason Blake signed with Toronto - 5 years, 20M Guess they realized they couldnt get Smyth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMMR Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 (edited) Blake is a Leafs 4 years 5 mil each year. Gomez is a Ranger as per TSN. Edited July 1, 2007 by JMMR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smon Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 The Oilers have moved their captain, defenceman Jason Smith and forward Joffrey Lupul for defenceman Joni Pitkanen, forward Geoff Sanderson and a third-round draft pick in 2009. http://tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=212468&hubname= Done deal. Time will tell how this one works out - if Pitkanen becomes the franchise defender he was slated to be, it's a steal for Edmonton...short term though this guarantees the Flyers will be in the playoffs next year.

xXx..CK..xXx Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Damn, Blake to the Leafs? That's not a bad pickup at alllll. Eastern teams seem to be doing pretty well so far, unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMMR Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Yeah 4 years 5 mil per season. He will score a lot with Sundin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Nasty Posted July 1, 2007 Author Share Posted July 1, 2007 Drury also signed with the Rangers. This is terrible! http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/article.jsp...701_162329_4180 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXx..CK..xXx Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 (edited) Ah I double posted.... The Rangers and (to a more serious extent) the flyers are already completely different teams. The habs will make some moves though no doubt. It's still early. Edited July 1, 2007 by xXx..CK..xXx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Tabarnaque, every team is getting better by the minute excepted our Habs, and the poor Sabres. Bob NEED to make a move or else were finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMMR Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 7.357 per year for Gomez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalhabs Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 The habs will make some moves though no doubt. It's still early. Yep, Watch us get Enrico Ciccone out of retirement as well as Gino Odjick and to top it all, JIM CAMPBELL. Then we get top Dman David Wilkie as well and we are set for a great year. I seriously hope we start looking on the Dmen still out there and hope for our Kostitsyns and Latendresses to take HUGE steps forward this season or we can hope for a nice early draftpick. No centers out there that look intresting anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalhabs Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Nylander, Lang, Yashin and Forsberg... Forsberg will retire if this latest footoperation failes, Yashin would get crushed and eaten alive by montreal media, lang... no thanks, nylander? nah, to old. Id rather stick with what we have more than have any of those guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 If Bob wanted a locker room poison he'd get Blake instead of Yashin. And, Kovalev isn't a Yashin fan anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalhabs Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Where do the rags get all their money from? Guess Marcel Hossa will be their 1st line winger this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMMR Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Where do the rags get all their money from? Guess Marcel Hossa will be their 1st line winger this season. Well Jagr has an option next year at 8.56 million. I would assume Shanny will not be back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Could this mean no more cap space for Shanny? Well Jagr has an option next year at 8.56 million. I would assume Shanny will not be back. Half of Jagr salary is still paid by Washington. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMMR Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Could this mean no more cap space for Shanny? Half of Jagr salary is still paid by Washington. Exactly. Yeah half for this season but not for next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalhabs Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 (edited) And there goes Kozlov as well http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/feature/?fid=4965 2.5M a year? thats what we paid our 3rd line center last season, Im beginning to think Gainey is a cheapskate (might have spelled it wrong) Edited July 2, 2007 by Dalhabs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Exactly. Yeah half for this season but not for next. Are you sure? I thought when Washington agreed to trade him to the Rangers, they were on the hook for half of his contracts, options and bonuses too.
