I normally like to reserve judgement on Lou's moves until the end of the summer, but man I am starting to get nervous. The past week has been an absolute nightmare in terms of signings / losses. It really cannot have gone any worse than it has, and I'm starting to question if Lou has finally lost it.

What is with these two year deals for goons? Peters, Boulton, now Barch. Why cut Boulton to sign Barch?

Fwiw, TFP is basically Єklund (2.3% accurate) like accurate. This isn't being reported anywhere else yet.

This. I'll wait until I see this reported else where before I believe it.

Also if he has a 2 way then I'm fine with this. They need some toughness down in Albany too.

Guys, don't worry, uncle Lou has a foolproof plan B. I am currently in negotiations to join the Devils this fall as a replacement for ZP. I am a little rusty--haven't played in 21 years--but it'll all come back I am sure. We feel confident that I will be able to replace some percentage of ZP's production (probably in the neighborhood of zero percent). Right now I am looking for 7years/$50mil but they are only offering 6years/$38 mil. It isn't about the money, but I just gotta be paid more before I accept this contract; I mean I love the Devils and all, but a guy's gotta eat, right?

Anyway, no worries. I am looking forward to being with Devils for a long time, so look for me in a Devils sweater this fall! I will probably be in the upper decks.......

But, wikipedia is reporting it too!

Well, at least somebody thinks Barch can actually
play a bit

I meant to say 2-way contract not 2 years. I'm curious to see the details for these contracts.

ah ok haha... my fault

i'm still not convinced this has actually happened. both he and sestito have to be for albany if this is true. there is nothing anywhere officially. the nhl link is pulling TFP's report.

you're nuts. if Barch is signed, which I am not convinced of either, it's for here and Janssen is for here. Got to collect 'em all.

[Neb00rs]

any truth to the rumors we're bringing PL3 back?

[HellOnICE]

I don't mind Krys Barch as a plug, but wish it was 2 way.

[Neb00rs]

I don't see this anywhere on NHL.com.

Is Lou trying to lose? None of Carter, Bernier, or S. Gionta belong on an NHL third line, and Krys Barch doesn't belong on an NHL hockey team. It's like Lou saw the first half of the season and the second half and said, 'Gimme some more of the 1st half, please'.

Reported here too
