njdevil26 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 (edited) Happy free agent day everyone!

njdevil26 Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 Good idea i am lost because there is too much treads That's what I figure because that's what happens to me. I'll be sitting at work all day at the computer so what I'm gonna try to do is see when there's a signing and update my original post with it so everything is right there.

njdevil26 Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 So I'm ready to go. I was getting an HIDA scan on my gall bladder and liver for the past few hours. So here's my plan. I will be tracking signings. When I see one, I will post a new reply for it and add it to my list that will be in the original post with the time, signing, and confirmation link. If someone catches a signing before I do, post a reply in here and I'll add it to the list up top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njdevil26 Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 To start things off, here are some Єklund (2.3% accurate) (2.3% accurate) rumors: The Habs expect to keep Kovalev Flyers attempting to keep Knuble Komisarek to NJ, NYI, Dallas Havlat to LA? The Sedin brothers to TO? A few other rumors: Obviously taken with a grain of salt but fun to discuss http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog/Єklund (2.3% accurate) (2.3% accurate)/Are-...r-Today/1/21896 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesterDevil Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 (edited) Sedins resign with Nucks http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=283415 Edit: both 5 year deals averaging 6.1 mil per season. Edited July 1, 2009 by JesterDevil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njdevil26 Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 No surprise here. I'm not sure they are each worth 6 mil dollars though. This may have been a mistake by the Canucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't waste your time with Єklund (2.3% accurate) (2.3% accurate) he is never right. You might as well just pick names out of a hat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think they are fun to think about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get to watch too much Canucks hockey so I am certainly not up to date on the Sedins. But I'll believe you. They don't seem to have too much forward depth though.

Triumph Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 vancouver's hand was forced. there's no centers available this year. it was this or go with the rangers blue plate special pastiche of slop. good signing for vancouver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a mistake at all, there is no one on the FA market who could replace either of them, and certainly not for less money for the same quality. Then the only alternative is through trade , which only weakens any depth you have on the remaining roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
