If we get some cap space in the Heatley trade and blow it on a $2M Neil, I'm going to flip out.

Its all about comprimising ... they offered 1.7, he wants 2 ... that means agree to 1.85 .....

For sure. Now's the time for us to see what tier 2 guys are around. I'd LOVE to have Sullivan.

Rumours that the Avs have signed Craig Anderson.

Colton Orr signing for a 1m a year must really bring down Neils worth, you would think. Now I wondering if he would come down and even give a discount or walk elsewhere

Me too, Spezz: Sullivan would be pretty sweet, but I doubt he leaves NSH.

NO.

No.

We have no need for a Chris Neil. None. I would be pissed if Regin is ready for the NHL and is forced back in Bingo because we forced Neil into the lineup - ESPECIALLY if we did it while paying him $2 freakin million.

Good move. But is he an RFA or UFA?

Hossa to Chicago. Curious on the terms. I say 6 years 36M.

Devils re-signed Greene.

hossa signs multi year in chicago

Roloson has just signed with the Isles per TSN...

Anderson? UFA, 1.8 a year X 2 years.

If Havlat goes to LA and Cammy goes to Edm, is there anywhere left for Heatley other than the NYR ?

The Blackhawks add Kopecky as well...nice.

From ESPN:
http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/news/story?id=4299215

Joy Russo (2:20 p.m. ET): The Hawks just put out an official release on Hossa and also announced they signed center Tomas Kopecky to a two-year contract.

Said GM Dale Tallon: "To add Marian, an elite and world-class player, and Tomas, a Stanley Cup Champion, to our exciting young core reinforces our commitment to try to win the Stanley Cup."

The Hawks surprised many by reaching the Western Conference finals, where they fell to the Detroit Red Wings (Hossa's former team) in five games.

LeBrun (2 p.m. ET): The Chicago Blackhawks have signed star winger Marian Hossa to a 12-year whopper deal. Sources tell ESPN.com the deal is worth an average of $5.2 million a year.

I want Sullivan! Come on!

i want heatley gone

Montador to the Sabres. Not bad.
