the max Posted August 3, 2005 Report Posted August 3, 2005 Gonchar signed with the Penguins <{POST_SNAPBACK}> <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, this saddens me too. They gave up a lot for Gonchar and didn't really get much in return, aside from a decent playoff series against Montreal.
Urban Warfare Posted August 3, 2005 Report Posted August 3, 2005 The Oilers got Chris Pronger in a trade for Eric Brewer.
CanadianChris Posted August 3, 2005 Report Posted August 3, 2005 Islanders just traded a conditional '06 draft pick to the Canucks for Brent Sopel.
Red Baron Posted August 3, 2005 Report Posted August 3, 2005 Hbs signed Mattieu Dandelaut from the Red Wings. 4 years for 7 million dollars. Reports are also saying that Chicago might sign Nikoli Khabibulin
CanadianChris Posted August 3, 2005 Report 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.
Urban Warfare Posted August 3, 2005 Report Posted August 3, 2005 The Bruins quickly went out and got a defenseman to replace Gonchar and signed Brian Leetch.
smh810 Posted August 3, 2005 Report Posted August 3, 2005 Reports are also saying that Chicago might sign Nikoli Khabibulin They cant sign Khabby, they've commited a lot of money to Aucoin and have their own issues to worry about.
the max Posted August 3, 2005 Report Posted August 3, 2005 With the players moving to where they're moving, this almost feels like a fantasy draft.
CanadianChris Posted August 3, 2005 Report Posted August 3, 2005 Well, the Islanders finally got a decent name, signing Miroslav Satan.
therealworldschampion Posted August 3, 2005 Report 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. If this is true, I'd have to say that Clarke probably got as much as he could for him...
the max Posted August 3, 2005 Report Posted August 3, 2005 Well, the Islanders finally got a decent name, signing Miroslav Satan. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He was so close to playing for the Devils...I mean, one state away.
smh810 Posted August 3, 2005 Report Posted August 3, 2005 Holy crap Edmonton looks like a contender for next year, I just heard they picked up Michael Peca.
CanadianChris Posted August 3, 2005 Report Posted August 3, 2005 Holy shit...first Pronger, now the Oilers got Mike Peca. I don't want to get my hopes up too much, but this could finally be the year the Cup comes back to Canada.
Gert T Posted August 3, 2005 Report 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? (I won't forgive my parents for getting me a Eskimos hat instead of Oilers gear when they were in Edmonton!)
treble Posted August 3, 2005 Report Posted August 3, 2005 Damn. TSN just said that the Flyers signed Forsberg to a 2-year contract. They're over the cap now, though.
Fartsauce Posted August 3, 2005 Report Posted August 3, 2005 UN-FUCKING-BELIEVABLE. All the effort I put into changing my sig and I have to do it again. Jk. But this is an another amazing pickup. I seriously had doubts about Kevin Lowe as a General Manager but they've been erased now. I'd love to see Lowe go after a goalie cause i'm not sure if Conklin can be a #1
Urban Warfare Posted August 3, 2005 Report Posted August 3, 2005 I thought right away that signing Hatcher to an outrageous contract would come back to hurt the Flyers, I just did not expect it to happen the next day.

the pinjockey Posted August 3, 2005 Report 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.
CanadianChris Posted August 3, 2005 Report Posted August 3, 2005 Damn. TSN just said that the Flyers signed Forsberg to a 2-year contract. They're over the cap now, though. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The rumour has JR going to the Kings for a bag of used pucks.
treble Posted August 3, 2005 Report Posted August 3, 2005 I guess the Fan in Toronto is saying that Roenick's going to LA.
TheOriginalOrangeGoblin Posted August 3, 2005 Report Posted August 3, 2005 Ok Philly is looking quite scary now. JR to Ottawa would be godly(won't happen though ). And now I'm pissed that they didn't dump Hasek and sign Bulin.
fairtoflair7 Posted August 3, 2005 Report Posted August 3, 2005 This stuff is crazy. MM made quality moves today. He said on teh radio that a big one is coming up though. I do not know what he has up his sleeve???? JR is prob going to get traded now from the FLyers but the bottom line is that the Atlantic division is goign to be stacked and crazy.

therealworldschampion Posted August 3, 2005 Report Posted August 3, 2005 Wow. It's like Lindros never happened....
nl5xsk1 Posted August 4, 2005 Report Posted August 4, 2005 The Bruins quickly went out and got a defenseman to replace Gonchar and signed Brian Leetch. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> "Hey, my nice car just broke down ... let me go and get a cheaper, older, less desirable one to replace it." The B's better be using the cash differential to sign another big name or 3. And Forsberg managed to go to my 2nd most hated team to my first ... what happened to him either returning to Colorado or staying with MoDo?!?

The B's better be using the cash differential to sign another big name or 3. Not that much cheaper. They're paying Leetch 4 mil.
CanadianGuitarist Posted August 4, 2005 Author Report Posted August 4, 2005 Holy shit...first Pronger, now the Oilers got Mike Peca. I don't want to get my hopes up too much, but this could finally be the year the Cup comes back to Canada. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Maybe western Canada. (Or is it Western Canada? Check the CP Style book please, Bob Barron or Scuba) I have little faith in the Leafs right now. Nor will I in the Habs, regardless of who they sign until Theodore is confirmed back.
DerangedHermit Posted August 4, 2005 Report Posted August 4, 2005 Except for the Rangers, who will still SUCK. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They signed Marek Malik...
CanadianChris Posted August 4, 2005 Report Posted August 4, 2005 Except for the Rangers, who will still SUCK. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They signed Marek Malik... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> For 2.5 million a year, no less. 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.
