dlbalr Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Parent clears waivers for the 2nd time this year, Florida waives Steven Reinprecht. For a team with an offensive 3rd line, he might not be a bad option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doktor Kosmos Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Watched the "Winter" classic. That was disappointing. Boring game IMO. The weather probably played into it. But I thought a lot of players looked like their hearts weren't in it, you know? And I didn't like the camera angles. Or maybe they didn't zoom in enough. I felt too far removed from the game, if that makes any sense. You got no sense of action or speed. And those overhead cameras work great for football. For hockey, not so much.

dlbalr Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Gotta love Philly, they re-sign Leighton (2 years) after the playoff run but gets hurt in camp. He comes back, plays 1 game (a win at that) and is promptly waived today. At least he'll be the highest paid goalie in the AHL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCHabnut Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 McDonagh called up by the Blue Shirts. Del Zotto sent down. That one still stings a little. Gomez was a cap shed. Losing a top defensive prospect to take on a top 10 worst contract in the NHL? ouch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing a top defensive prospect to take on a top 10 worst contract in the NHL? ouch He was a top defensive prospect with us but since then has fallen off the map a little. To say he has struggled in the AHL this year would be an understatement. Instead of being an impact D, he projects more to a 3rd pairing depth guy. Heck, at this point, I'd be more concerned with the fact Valentenko came back to North America. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 As I mentioned in the Rumour thread, Langenbrunner is off to Dallas. Devils get a conditional 3rd rounder back dependent on him re-signing and/or playoff success. If he re-signs before July 1st or Dallas wins in the first round, NJ gets Dallas's 2nd rounder. If they re-sign him after July 1, Devils get Stars' second-rounder and Devils trade them 2012 3rd rounder. And you thought the conditions on the Wisniewski pick were confusing...

BTH Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 (edited) Just found out that the Isles recently dealt Roloson to TB and now have Kevin Poulin and Nathan Lawson in net. The league should be investigating into these guys. They're tanking. They just traded their two MVPs of the season except for maybe Tavares.

dlbalr Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Just found out that the Isles recently dealt Roloson to TB and now have Kevin Poulin and Nathan Lawson in net. The league should be investigating into these guys. They're tanking. They just traded their two MVPs of the season except for maybe Tavares. To be fair, DiPietro, who was named starter after the trade, got hurt again. And it's hard to investigate for tanking when they're winning more without those guys than they were with them. It defies logic, but it seems to be working well for the Isles right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Well, we can forget about Frolov and rumours to the Habs, the KHL, or anywhere else. He's out for the year. Reports of partying in the streets of NYC...okay, maybe that's a stretch but fans are happy. Guess the Eklund report of Frolov to the Habs (posted 4 hours ago) can die now. Good source on that one...

dlbalr Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 DiPietro has one of the worst health situations in the league - it was a given he would get injured again. For sure. But most expected him to last longer than what, 2, 3 days? Him getting hurt so quickly only exacerbated the issue, I don't think anyone expected a Lawson/Poulin tandem so quickly.

lazy26 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 DiPietro has one of the worst health situations in the league - it was a given he would get injured again. I think DP and Sami Salo have a little competition going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Somewhat notable trade today, Rangers trade Rozsival to Phoenix for Wolski. Phoenix saves on actual money (Rozsival makes less than Wolski salary wise) while the Rangers save on the cap. Still, an already weak NYR D gets even weaker.

dlbalr Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 St. Louis signs another guy from the KHL and places him on entry waivers. Considering the player is Kyle Wellwood, I don't think they need to be too worried about someone stealing him away. Petr Prucha, who cleared re-entry waivers last week is on the verge of signing with SKA St. Petersburg of the KHL. How far has he fallen...nearing Wellwood territory actually.

sakiqc Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Who would have thought... The Northeast division is now the weakest in the league with 3 teams out of 5 playing under .500 The good news is that this might the principal reason why we make the playoffs this year. We have to stay ahead of Buffalo (currently a nice 10 pt-lead), and we need one of Carolina or Atlanta to have a bad 2nd half. We are the new "Southeast". Must be global warming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be global warming Not too surprising; 2 inept GMs and an owner that refuses to pay top dollar to ice a decent product. I'm still shocked that Murray has a job after all the damage he's done to Ottawa. That being said, as a Habs' fan I'm not complaining.

dlbalr Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Fabian Brunnstrom, once a highly sought after prospect, is now property of the Leafs. He's heading to the Marlies though (been in the AHL all year), how far has his stock fallen? (And how expensive is that Marlies roster, lots of guys making serious coin for AHL'ers...) On the waiver wire today, Patrick O'Sullivan waived...again. Safe to say he'll be heading overseas next year. Anssi Salmela, a NJ d-man waived now that he's healthy. Considering I expect the Habs to pick up some sort of D at some point off the waiver wire, I've gotta pay attention to whatever ones become available.

dlbalr Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Mike Commodore hits re-entry waivers, will someone claim him? We'll find out Monday (I think the 48 hour period comes into play now). I'm guessing he clears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe I was out to lunch there. San Jose claimed him today, I'm laughing my head off on that one. Poor St. Louis, they can't catch a break. Speaking of the Sharks, they also acquired Ben Eager from the Thrashers for a 5th rounder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
