I was really getting worried that Lou would bring Madden back at the price Chicago paid him. Gionta I figured was a goner and Rupp and Clemmer aren't huge losses anyhow. Now we can possibly sign some leftover free agents at a reduced (read decent) price and if not, we have some kids to plug in anyway plus Rolston who's been waiting for his second line spot. I certainly hope Lou signs someone like Koivu to be our 2nd line center but I'm reading the panic posts on this board and just don't feel it. I think the day's gone great. Thoughts?

I only speak Bulgarian but I believe the title says "Brylin signs contract with SKA". You will be missed Sarge.
I'm glad you and Devildude have a mental connection allowing you to know the meaning of his every post. Looking at it, Brooks did take a bunch of shots against the Devils, too bad they're all true...
Reason why the Pens need to win the Cup this year:
Crosby, Malkin, and co. will win one eventually (Bettman will see to it), so why not this year? At the same time, this tires them out and sets them up for the Stanley Cup hangover next year.
I love how the online free preview was during winter break when I don't get high speed internet and the TV preview is during school where I don't get the CI channels. Love ya NHL
