Adam Oates named as assistant coach in New Jersey. I don't care if they wheel in Theo Fluery's coke dealer as long as they develop a damn viable power play!

6/29/2010 4:06:05 PM

Montreal sends Sergei Kostitsyn and future considerations to Nashville for Dustin Boyd, Dan Ellis, and future considerations. Ellis is set to be a UFA on July 1, while Kostitsyn and Boyd are both set to be RFAs.

6/29/2010 8:16:05 PM

now they have a netminder once price shits the bed again.

Quote :

"The Philadelphia Flyers appear to be going with a familiar face as their No. 1 netminder next season, as the club has signed Michael Leighton to a two-year, $3.1 million contract. The signing locks up three goalies in the Flyers' depth chart, with Brian Boucher on board for 2010-11 and Johan Backlund recently signing a two-year deal."

Marty St. Louis signs a 4 year extension with the Lightning.

and Michalek to Pittsburgh. 5 years, $20mil. Paul Martin deal is dead there now, as is the Hamhuis one.

[Edited on July 1, 2010 at 1:14 PM. Reason : michalek]

7/1/2010 1:03:02 PM

3 teams chasing Whitney, 1 offer on the table.

7/1/2010 1:27:35 PM

Alex Auld to Montreal. This is not going to make Habs fans much happier about losing Halak.

7/1/2010 1:30:57 PM

Armstrong to the Leafs. 3.5 million for a third liner?

7/1/2010 1:48:33 PM

It's a 3mil cap hit, but still too much. I'm glad TOR signed him because I was tired of hearing some of the retards in Pittsburgh say how great it would be for him to come back. We have Matt Cooke and Chris Kunitz who are both more effective and basically fit the same role.

there's always a stupid as fuck signing on July 1 (Jeff Finger, Wade Redden, etc.)

one thing I like about JR is that he doesn't throw out asinine amounts of money to FA's during this window.

7/1/2010 2:25:39 PM

Paul Martin - 5 years/25 mil - Pittsburgh.

wow.

7/1/2010 2:46:11 PM

Phoenix is a hell of a place to move your family for somebody not looking to "move around". Glad he's out there instead of in Buffalo/Florida/somewhere I hate equally as much as those two.

7/1/2010 3:16:49 PM

yeah he might as well have gone to the KHL

i kind of wonder if his family will even move
