Re: NHL free-agent floodgate

I'm mostly surprised by the Amonte move to Calgary, but with the way the CBA was structured it shouldn't be a big surprise. I'm sad to see him and Roenick broken up... again.

I can see that Philadelphia is beefing up it's D. Looks like if they can keep Roenick and Primeau healthy they could anchor a good O. Sad that LeClair is no longer a Flyer.

Looks like Sergei Gonchar may be filling the role of Obi-Wan Kenobi to Super Mario's Qui-Gon Jinn to the chosen one in Pittsburgh.

Re: NHL free-agent floodgate

Free-agent Mike Modano will not accept the Stars' five-year, $17.75 million contract offer, his agent said Wednesday afternoon.

Re: NHL free-agent floodgate

Mike not too smart nor a brain surgeon but I hope he realizes that Boston's 4 year 20 million offer is a better deal than Ken Dicks...er Hicks 5 year 17.75 million offer [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Maybe Joe Thornton will end up in Detroit if Madonna goes to Boston

Re: NHL free-agent floodgate

Gonchar to Pittsburgh

Re: NHL free-agent floodgate

Bruins signed Brian Leetch today!
I was wondering why they left Gonchar go.

Still a lot of free agents out there but they look like they'll have a good club. I have a lot of respect for Ken Hitchcock, he's a great coach. I do think its still a little too early to talk about cups and tell who will be contenders... IMHO it won't matter how many big star players Philly gets if they have a swiss cheese netminder between the pipes [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
