Man, this sucks. I'm in shock right now. I though for sure that Pierre was gonna work something out with Adam. Oh well, thanks for the memories and good luck in Columbus, Adam. They need you more then we do. This could possibly be another sign that Peter and Nazzy are gonna sign their package deal in Colorado. Terry Frei was writing that the Avs are either gonna sign Foote or sign Forsberg and Nazzy. That sure as hell better be the reason. Although I'm not sure how Foote would've fit into the new rules. So now it looks like:

Blake-Liles

Skrastins-???

Vaananen-Boughner

There are 2 things I see happening.

1) Boughner will be moved up to play with Skrastins and Sauer will play alongside Vaananen

2) Lacroix goes out and signs a cheap-yet-reliable type defenseman. I have no idea what guys contracts are but off the top of my head I'm thinking Numminen, Brisebois or Ference (Brad, not Andrew).

But no matter what happens, I'm going to slowly cry myself to sleep tonight. *sobs*

You should cry!

I don't think Forsbeg will sign with the Avs. I think you are in for a rough year. Still a good team? Yes but nothing like it was!

No cup for you :clap:

:hlogo:

It was made quite clear a while ago that it would be Foote or Forsberg coming back. We tried to get Foote at a cheaper salary at 12M for 4 years but with the 1.5M difference, he decided to go to Columbus. Forsberg has also told the Denver Post multiple times that he'd take a big paycut to stay with the Avs. Hejduk is most likely on his way out of Colorado too.

And when the hell did I say I expected a cup? Don't put words in my mouth. Man, whats with all the haters. We've still got enough talent to make a run anyway and with no red line, Svatos, Sakic and Tanguay are 'bout to run wild.

Well this is a Habs site, and i can't speak for everyone, but i pretty much hate all 29 other NHL teams so it should be expected to a certain degree.

But regarding free agency, the speculation and rumours are killing me, it's getting ridiculous. I need the Habs to sign someone, anyone, just to ease the speculation and insanity a little bit.

Another blow to Calgary, first Conroy leaves, now Gelinas. Conroy was Iginla's centerman, and Gelinas was their hero in the playoffs.

i expected them to go after a d-man after they lost aucoin... but gainey's "lazy-slow like personality" is going to kill us.. he's slow totalk slow to move slow to think and slow to take a decision.. mainwhile other gm's are burning the ufa market with their speedy-risky-qick thinking and will to spend and spen fast b4 its too late.

if gainey is concentrating on forsberg then he's puting all is eggs in one bascket.. no good
