FA Tracker! ALL things Free Agency!

For a second there I thought you were talking about Peter Regin If he can stay healthy, what he showed last season (in a very small sample, of course) is that he can certainly fill a top-six role.

We haven't lost anyone from the top-six of last year, and we have added Silfverberg and Regin (crossing fingers he stays healthy). Even if Regin doesn't end up in the top six right off the bat, I hope his presence will push Foligno to be a little more consistent. Then we have Zibanejad and others down in Bingo (I expect Zibanejad to start the season in Bingo) like Petersson, Stone, Noesen, DaCosta. Not only will we have competition for spots in Ottawa, I think we will have some healthy competition in Bingo as well.

I think Regin'll start on the 3rd line, but we'll see. He's also a potential add-on in a deal.

Apparently Spezza did attend with B Murray, T Murray & Pierre Dorion... I think T Murray & Dorion are the key spokesmen to get him to Ottawa.. if he does sign here.

Brennan says MacLean was there.

Told ‪#Sens‬ didn't use players to recruit Schultz...Kyle Turris has the ‪#Badger‬ and B.C. connection

Turris was not at Wisconsin when Schultz was though.

Well Gretzky & Coffey won't be in Edmonton if he goes there. Now if Kevin Lowe (who played with both) was not the GM of Edmonton... those 2 would not have contacted Schultz.

LeBrun says "the decision" is coming this afternoon. It's 2 pm now...

Does he announce his decision today or just make it?

He can't sign a contract until tomorrow but I'm sure teams want an answer by tomorrow at noon so they know how to attack free agency.

Can't wait to see what the Rangers do and how much they spend:

It's only 1PM (now) in BC.

I thought he was already, officially, UFA? They had to sign him by a certain date (which was before July 1).

He had 30 days after his dereg to sign with Anaheim. He became UFA after they couldn't come to an agreement. He'll sign tomorrow when FA opens.

I'm surprised they didn't leave them off the list ie. "List is NYR, Toronto, Edmonton, Vancouver and another team."

Note the order of teams:

Schultz chose the Oilers after being pursued by a number of NHL clubs including the Ottawa Senators, Vancouver Canucks, Toronto Maple Leafs, New York Rangers and Minnesota Wild.

TSN loves Ottawa. Fact.

3.25 million x 4 years for Gaustad from Nashville. Wow, Lotta loot.

Whenever I hear that name I think of the non-call on his hit on Winchester (who passed his baseline test). That hit may have spelled the end of his career in Ottawa.

Jordan staal agrees to a 10 year, $60M contract with the canes.

Same contract that Pittsburgh reportedly offered? I wish my boys were that close and wanted to play together this much.

Ryan Smyth re-signs with EDM, $2.25 mil per year, 2 years.

Did he really put this in his profile?

Edmonton Oilers forward. I'm better than Horcoff, yet
somehow he's paid more....Katz must have been shaken as a baby. Love my
fans!
