serge 904 Posted June 10, 2010 Author Share Posted June 10, 2010 Awards show first.yes that too...Since no Leafs are involved..I tend to pass Link to post Share on other sites

serge 904 Posted June 10, 2010 Author Share Posted June 10, 2010 Are you passing on the first round of the draft too? no because I believe we will be involved heavily...Burke will make a trade or two on draft day...i really find this part of the season interesting. As much as I hate the salary cap, it makes things in the off season very interesting..For example there is no way the September lineup of the Blackhawks will be the same as last night...

Not sure if that's enough though...haven't checked the numbers.After a quick look at www.nhlnumbers.com ...Bye Madden.Bye Johnsson.Bye Boynton.I think they may also try to unload Versteeg. Versteeg or Sharp ending up in Toronto would not surprise me. Link to post Share on other sites

Versteeg or Sharp ending up in Toronto would not surprise me.I bet some teams are lining up for Hossa...It guarantees you a trip to the finals.. They are at $63 million with only 4 dman and only Huet signed... Link to post Share on other sites
dEv~ 19 Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Ya it's gotta get messy in Chicago. They got a few contracts that kick in next year and are gonna have to make some big moves to stay under that cap. Link to post Share on other sites
mrdannyg 274 Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Fingers crossed for another year for Selanne, even if that would severely screw over my cap situation in the FCHL. Also, fingers crossed for Babchuk, but recent reports have his signing as a done deal. Link to post Share on other sites
SBriand 4 Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Yay Jason Williams will not be offered a contract in Detroit. (Should have never had one last season)Meh, Bertuzzi has been offered a 2 year contract. Link to post Share on other sites
Dubey 1,035 Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 I would love it if the Leafs could somehow land Sharp. Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted June 11, 2010 Author Share Posted June 11, 2010 just read that Toews winning the Conn Smythe earned him a $1.3 million bonus..Since they were at the cap it will count against next years cap..So $1.3 million comes off the top..Thats the salary of a decent 4th liner.

Ottawa_Biatch 288 Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 TB represents excellent value I think. Steve Yzerman will make them a contender. Link to post Share on other sites

MapleLeafs 142 Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Damn. Jaroslav Halak traded to St. Louis! Link to post Share on other sites
Dubey 1,035 Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Madness.For Lars Eller and Ian Schultz.Schultz played a couple games on my summer hockey team a few summers ago. Other than that, I know nothing about him. Eller is supossed to be pretty awesome, but he was supposed to make the blues this past year too, and failed to do so. Haven't watched him play at all.

MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Damn. Jaroslav Halak traded to St. Louis!JAW DROP!wow. I didnt see that coming.I got the text, but the TSN site seems to be crashing/not opening. Hab fans are flooding the site for WHY!?!?!?I like Eller. But why does TSN keep calling him a D? Am I missing something? Link to post Share on other sites
rinswun 6 Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 pretty shocked that they didnt get at least cole instead of schultz Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 pretty shocked that they didnt get at least cole instead of schultzyeah, something like that would have made a lot more sense.I wonder who Montreal gets to "backup" Price. Link to post Share on other sites
strategy 4 Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I have Palushaj and Eller on my farm... for a few months, the problem was fixed. And now it is un-fixed. Link to post Share on other sites
Babying 613 Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Am I missing something here? This trade sucks for Montreal (Eller maybe 2nd liner and Palushaj is a bum). Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafs 142 Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I like Eller. But why does TSN keep calling him a D? Am I missing something?Montreal is converting him. Link to post Share on other sites
