No, it really doesn't. Got all summer.

I would advise highly against waiting another minute to sign your most important forward to an extension when there's already a negative vibe in Ottawa.  And when I say highly against, I mean - I'd get it done this minute.

Nonsense. Ryan's and MacArthur's are busy dealing with their other clients without contracts, and BM is busy trying to figure out moves that need to be made in a brief window. Once our roster is more settled, then BM will be in a position to talk extensions; ditto for Ryan's and MacArthur's agents -- who will then have a better sense of what the team looks like too.

Don't hold your breath waiting on those extensions. That a conversation for next week, or the week after. There's time.

Ok, done.

Why, you agree to the deal before the free agency hits.  You consumate it for 5 minutes in the morning to make the call to the NHL head office.  Takes literally no time.

Yost, is that you?

Remember 06-07 when the SEns turned their season around after the Alfie trades rumours?
Guess who went down with an injury that started that turnaround...

LeKing wrote:Anyway, I'm ecstatic about getting rid of that underachiever and I'll eat crow if we finish bottom 5 with trouble scoring goals.
However, if we do get to the palyoffs (which I expect) I will certainly shove Spezza fanboys' opinions down their throat.

Just assume that they honour the CBA and don't talk beforehand. The next few days will be easier for you if you do.
