Captain_Stealth Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 It's great to see Nazzy re-sign........Also, I think the Kariya to SJ rumors are false. ESPN got it from the sharks message board, saying a poster said it would be confirmed sometime today. How reliable is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuko Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 2 years, $10.7 million. This puts Philly over the salary cap so they moved Roenick to LA. Don't know for who yet. This according to RDS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ch_nl Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Forsberg a Flyer Peter Forsberg has signed with the Philadelphia Flyers, the team that once drafted him. With Forsberg in the team the Flyers will have to trade one or two players. Roenick and Gagne? If Gagne is avalable then I hope we go for him. With Gagne in the team we would be ready. Gagne - Koivu - Kovalev Zednik - Ribeiro - Ryder Bulis - Bonk - Sundström Hossa - Begin - Perezhogin Dandeneault - Souray Rivet - Markov Boullion - Komisarek Theodore Dannis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prime Minister Koivu Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 The more I think about this the more pissed off I get! We were willing to offer Satan 4.25 million but we couldn't touch Forsburg at 5.25? BAHHHH maybe I'm just worried about the Flyers. All I can hope is their HUGE defencemen are too slow to compete in the new NHL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puck7x Posted August 4, 2005 Author Share Posted August 4, 2005 Just an update... Since the site was down... http://www2.sportsnet.ca/nhl/free_agent_tracker.html Comments on whats happened since we've been down. Forsberg: Damn the Flyers! Argh... Wish Peter would have stayed in the west. Brisebois/Turgeon: LOL Avs. Though I bet Brisebois has a strong season, just a feeling. Niedermayer: Thrilled he's going to the west.

shortcat1 Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Forsberg will not be as big a factor as previously considered. He's still a fairly fragile player though I hope, for his sake, that this doesn't happen to him again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetsniper Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Originally posted by Prime Minister Koivu Originally posted by jetsniperIt 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. I'm not hating you man! Just having a little fun. My bad, it came across as asshole-ish but it's the internet so you never know how to take things. I'm in denial over losing Foote and Forsberg anyway so ignore me. 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. I know plenty of sites where fans get along. Theres no need to bicker just because someone doesn't cheer for your team. Besides, what'd Atlanta or Columbus ever do to you? ....just joking man, just joking Anyway on to why we're all here, hockey. Our offers to Foote and Forsberg were pretty sad so I don't blame them for leaving but thats the world of a salary cap so I'll have to deal with it. I still kinda resent not buying out Blake though. Brisebois, I think will have a good year with us because of Blake. I don't think he'll have as much responsibility as he did with you guys (although you guys are in a much better position to know this then I am so inform me if I'm wrong) Turgeon though is a laugher. PL said we've still got about 3-4 mil that he's willing to use in the UFA market so MAYBE we can pull something out for Palffy. I've also heard pretty strong rumors that Gagne is headed to Montreal which would be awesome. Aside from the Avs, I'm a big fan of the Sens, Habs and Flames. Nowhere near the Avs but I try to follow them nonetheless. I was hoping Jarome could've recruited Nieds for here but I guess we lost the cap room with the signings of Amonte (which floored me) and McCarty. Both are improvements over their predecessors (Gelinas and Nieminen). I can't wait to get to the 2006 UFA market, it looks stronger then this years and Colorado might actually have some money to use.

Prime Minister Koivu Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Brisebois isn't horrible as many people say. I think he will do well for you and at a more reasonable price! Turgeon is anyone's guess. I think he was in the same boat as Brisebois, just overpaid. The guy has talent. I'm as pissed off about Foresburg as you are! Once the rumours started the he was coming to the Habs I got excited......then boom he is a Flyer. Not to mention the Habs have to play him all the time now.

All it means is that Komi will have more chances to eliminate Forsberg as a threat to the rest of the league. The guy is one concussion away from retirement in my opinion.

Fanpuck33_ Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Haha, I'm just kidding. I just don't think Forsberg is a huge threat any more. The guy is injury prone, and has had a number of concussions. I think his best days are behind him. If I were Bobby Clarke, I'd have stayed pat with JR. Eric Lindros, on the other hand, is the man I would LOVE to see have his career ended by Komi. I've always HATED Lindros, and I always will.

simonus Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 ditto on the lindros.. standing pat with roenick because you're worried about forsberg's concussions is kinda funny. JR doesnt have the sturdiest noggin in town... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanpuck33_ Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Good point, but all they did was switch head problems. They didn't even get anything of value for JR, so why do it all? Was Clarke pissed about what JR said during the lockout? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonus Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 i think the FO was pissed, i think roenick is really diminished and was never as good as forsberg, although both have dissapointment ability in the coming season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanpuck33_ Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 I can't wait till JR retires and becomes a commentator. He's a really funny guy and obviously knows what he is talking about. I hate him as a player, but would love to have him doing color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prime Minister Koivu Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Oh man when JR got his head smashed in the last playoffs and started stumbling around I was in tears laughing so hard. Then when he came on TV and lost it I almost pissed my pants. I love the guy (not on my team) An excellent broadcaster for sure :/) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention the Habs have to play him all the time now. With all the media coverage and peoples reaction, I thought for sure he was staying. I mean, he couldn't even go to a team I like. Forsberg with the Habs would've been AMAZING. His best days are still here, they just aren't very often. He played 39 games in 03/04 and had 55 points. He played less then half the season and was 4th on the team in scoring. It's only 2 years so who knows, maybe in 2 years the Avs will have room to sign him. I think the very least he could do for me is be a Leaf killer. Damn, I hate the Leafs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bombTHEice Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Khabibulin signed with the Blackhawks, $27 mill. for 4 years. Now is the question what's happening with Thibault and if the Bolts will make a trade for a Nr.1 goalie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
