Mighty One

Ralfi, Malakhov, Mogilny and McGillis were all just signed and Elias too and will start on IR so none of them will go. Marty isnt going anywhere. That leaves Madden, Friesen or Gomez.

I joined. Thanks Ayl.

If there is any room left, I would love to be in the league. As a newbie though, I am way, way, way, way down the list.

I hope its not Clement and Melrose. I really hated listening to them call a game. Melrose isnt too bad in the studio but horrible in the booth. Emrick is great. I cant wait.

Wait a minute. Devils would give up Langenbrunner, Friesen and Brylin and end up with 3 high draft picks?? First off, there is no way to guarantee that they would be high draft picks. Would that team purposely lose just so the terms of the trade would be met? I dont think so. Second, I know that Devs are over the cap but to give up 3 central parts of the team for 3 pick is a bad deal. Is there enough in the farm to overcome this? I think this rumor stinks and hope it doesnt happen. This is back to the front page of the thread. I forgot about the rest of the pages.

From ESPN Updated: Aug. 23, 2005, 4:24 PM ET Move comes hours after Sens signed HossaESPN.com news services After avoiding arbitration with Marian Hossa, the Ottawa Senators didn't keep him for long. The team has sent Hossa to the Atlanta Thrashers for forward Dany Heatley. The Thrashers will also receive a defenseman, according to The Sports Network of Canada. The Thrashers have called a 5:30 p.m. ET news conference, where they are expected to announce the trade. The Senators and Hossa reached a deal on the same day they were scheduled to go to arbitration. Hossa was the most prominent of the 11 players who originally filed for arbitration. The three-year, $18 million deal had made Hossa the highest-paid player in franchise history, but Ottawa has now shipped him to Atlanta. Am I one of the few who thinks that OTT got the better of the deal?

Brian Lawton is Modano's agent????

If Nieds does sign elsewhere, any chance that Lou would bring Bombadir back into the fold?

Will Parise start the year with the Devils or the Rats?

I cant say that he is selfish. If he played for any other team he would have made more in previous years. Lou is known for low-balling and it worked since Nieds really couldnt go anywhere. This is his 1 shot for the real big payday. He has helped us win 3 cups. What more should we ask from him?

I havent gotten a NHL game in several years. If this one is good, I will pick it up. Hockey was always my favorite sport to play as a video game. NHL 95 & 96 were 2 of my favorites but I didnt like any of the next gen games. Hopefully they will make this years game as good as they did this years Madden and MVP.

Hawks would then trade Thibault if they get Bulin.

Calgary signs Amonte and McCarty so they are out. http://www.calgaryflames.com/cgi-bin/news/..._num=0000000496

If we do get Nieds for 6.25 to 6.8 per year, is there still room for Rafalski?

Supposedly Brewer was the key to the deal. Brewer is good but Pronger is a former Norris winner and 1 of top 3 players on the Blues. With Demitra gone as well, the Blues are a weaker team so far.

Nieds will be making his decision today according to TSN. Scott Niedermayer says he'll likely decide Wednesday where he will play hockey this season. The Norris Trophy winner is said to be mulling offers from four to five teams, including the New Jersey Devils. "I'm kind of hoping that at the end of the day, we'll know who's where. Then we can make a decision," Niedermayer tells the New York Post. Following Tuesday's free agent frenzy, agent Kevin Epp admits things are moving along faster than he expected. "Teams don't want to miss out on someone else, so they want to know," said Epp. "We could have it all done sometime (today)." Niedermayer was awarded $7-million by an arbitrator last season before the year was wiped out by the lockout. The previous year, he earned $4-million. New Jersey is believed to be offering a deal worth $6.8-million a season. Vancouver, Detroit, Calgary and Pittsburgh are also said to be in the mix. "I think they're just looking around, feeling the waters," Epp tells the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review of the Penguins interest, adding he doesn't believe they are prepared to meet Niedermayer's salary demands of between $6.5-million to $7-million a season The suspense is killing me.

I guess I should have changed the sentence to "Sather believing that it would weaken a rival and strengthing themselves had no problem listening to or accepting it." Incorrect choice of words.

I really cant see either of teams spending that kind of money on 1 player. I also cant see Nieds heading back to Canada. I thought the whole reason why he kind of wanted to sign with Philly is to stay close to his NJ home.

Sather believing that it would weaken a rival and strengthing had no problem offering it. If Holik was with any other team, Sather would have had to step back and realize how ridiculous the demand was.

I kind of think that the Rangers signed him to spite the Devils. He had been unhappy with his previous contract and the Rangers knowing this, took advantage. It ending up being their loss as usual.

As long as Lou resigns our fa's, I will be happy. We are pretty set up front and of course at goal. D is the weak point right now with Raffy, Nieds and Stevens all available but as its been said in the past. "In Lou we trust" He has signed them all before, he can do it again.

Flyers have a 1:00 press conference called. Clarke has signed 3 players. Derrian Hatcher, Mike Rathje and Chris Therrian. With the Flyers out of the Niedermayer sweepstakes this gives us a better chance to resign him. Too bad Scott wont take a "Leetch" approach to FA and not sign with any rivals. Rangers are knocking on his door and we all know how Dolan likes to throw money around.
