Oh well...Corvo will be our PP specialist and play ~8 minutes of ES a night I would imagine.  Still a great signing for the $$.

Murray did say he was in the market for a 5,6,7-type D. I guess he meant it.

Except for no, we can't get Boyle out of SJ. And I'm pretty certain we couldn't pay him if we did.

Here's what the Sens GM had to say about the signing of Corvo...

Joe brings us a veteran defenceman that has a history of scoring points in the National Hockey League. He is now one of seven defenceman that we have in the organization and we need depth -- or we needed depth -- and we certainly have that provided now in Joe. He has been here, he has an understanding of what it takes to play in this market now and, again, the most important thing with Joe is he's a veteran guy that can play on the power play, he can shoot the puck well, address some of the needs that are needed in the league today where you need to get points from your back end and he's one of those people that can provide it.

It's slim pickings for dmen out there.  Whatever happened to that Blum guy?

They wanted a veteran not a reclamation project.

The time to worry about Melnyk's finances will be in 2 years time when Spezza and Ryan are UFAs. The team should try and resign them one year from now. Ownership is going to have show some serious commitment to building a Stanley Cup winner not selling false hope on a budget.

Yeah, that's a good deal, no question.

It's good "value for money" as Eugene would say.

Euro cleansing. That's what happens when the cap drops.

Not sure about that to be honest. Not sure he addressed our D yet. Maybe he did, or maybe he's gonna make another transaction. Who really knows....Ahhhhh!

Murray hinted he may not be done and might still make a trade. I guess it depends on what is out there.
