CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2005 Hold the phone on Modano, this just in... Mike Modano's agent says his client has rejected the latest contract offer from the Dallas Stars. "I informed the Stars of Mike's decision a few minutes ago," Brian Lawton told TSN. While it is still possible that Modano will return to Dallas, that possibility now seems remote, despite reports Tuesday night that we would be returning to the franchise. Lawton would not say which teams are still in the running for Modano's services, but NHL sources tell TSN that Boston and Chicago both have four year deals on the table worth in excess of $20 million. The Stars had offered Modano a five year deal worth $17.5 million. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

therealworldschampion 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2005 From what I read in the papers today, Danny Markov was swearing that if the NHLPA ratified the new CBA, he'd stay in Russia and never play in the NHL again.

Gert T 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2005 I agree it does seem like a fantasy draft with all of the transactions. Sorry if this angers people by veering off-thread, but where are some good sites to pick up some NHL gear?

the pinjockey 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2005 On TSNs website they are saying Clarke will make a trade to get under the cap, with Roenick being a likely candidate to move. Forsberg for Roenick is certainly an upgrade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sather's gone senile, I think. More news from overnight: - Modano ended up signing that deal with the Stars after all. 5 years, $17.25 million (although he probably won't make it to the end of that contract). - Avalanche signed Pierre Turgeon and Patrice Brisebois.
