Canes aren't able to spend up to the cap. They also have about $20 million tied up in Semin and the Staal brothers. To sign Semin to $7 million deal they may have thought to themselves we can count it as $4 million (plus another contract to replace Jokinen) if we cut Jokinen. Its some kind of creative internal cap maneuvering. That being said, he is obviously not SO good. But his 5 goals in 30 games are more than our parade of 4th liners have had in 3+ seasons combined.

If absolutely nothing else, he could play better 4th line minutes than Barch, Sestito, or Pesonen and DEFINITELY help us with the shootout. Unless we have an internal salary cap there is no reason the Devils shouldn't claim him. Does anyone know if buyout rules stayed the same? Can they buyout his contract next year if they decide this experiment didn't work and save a little cash?

I think it is possible that it's more than that. Why would Florida also be sending scouts to view their own Pro team?

Hahahaha its an easy mistake to make

did they just say Colin white the Platinum Lounge seats?

I BETTER GET CREDIT FOR BRODEUR SCORING THAT GOAL!!!!

Cmon guys whats the big deal... Brodeur gets a TON of powerplay time, even more than Kovalchuk!!! Surely he should have ripped a few more PPGs by now !

Well I've been drinking and this is where my mind has taken me

It's extremely ignorant. Try telling a Latvian they were Russian and see how they react. Try telling that to someone in Western Ukraine and see how long you last. How about Georgians, Armenians....etc etc.Russians (and I'm speaking as one myself) were a bunch of oppressors and very few people took pride in being 'Soviet' and they certainly didn't feel 'Russian.'

I'm not trying to start an advanced statistics debate which happens a lot on this board and I understand that a ton of other measures are not taken into account by GVT, but I think this is interesting and notable nonetheless. According to: http://www.hockeyprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=1463, Patrick Elias is the 4th best non-goalie player in the NHL this season if you omit his failure in the shootout. His ability to contribute to special teams more than anything seems to be propelling his ranking. If you were to take into account further Quality of Competition and Zone-Start statistics, I bet Elias might actually be slightly higher. Anyone have those numbers?

Came across this article from Yahoo Finance and wanted it to share it with you folks: A few notable quotes from the article:

Awesome post, thanks for the really insightful statistics. Any chance you can put up Larson and Harrold's numbers, as well? I understand the small sample size is problematic but it might be interesting to see, nonetheless.

There's something about the Pens and Flyers that bring out the worst in both of them. Does make for a great game though.

I need to record this one, which is our feed?

That video was exactly like the video I saw this morning with the goats:

Still have Vokoun, Luongo, and Brodeur available for the right price (LW/RW top talent who scores)

Is our feed msg or msg plus.

sold

I have Vokoun and Luongo for sale! Requiring some top talent though.

Anyone? I don't want to put it on the rest of the internet!

How about signing Radek Dvorak to a low salary 1 year deal. He seems like he could fit on the 3rd line.

I have one ticket in Section 122, Row 5 for the Devils vs. Rangers game that I can no longer attend. Is anyone interested in a single? It's a hard ticket that I will leave the ticket at will-call in your name. My asking price is $45 (Lowest price I can see on stubhub for any ticket in the whole arena is $60).

Goalvolchuk!

The hue of card at the end of the commercial changed slightly!! A new twist on our favorite advertisement!!!

I think the commissioner should step in and give him Franzen back. Fair play and all.
