Free Agency Eve Open Thread
7:09 PM ET - I got to run out and Sean's on vacay. I'm dropping our twitter feed here and will post things as I get them on the phone. In the meantime, if you see anything out there, drop it in the comments.
Tomorrow is a full day liveblog so plan on sticking around with me. The bedlam of this time of year always amazes me.
6:58 PM ET - (via Kuklas) Jere Lehtinen inks a one year extension in Dallas.
6:47 PM ET - Now reports are that soulless heathen JP Barry is refuting the CBC report. Or, more precisely, "no comment" (via @Kelcey Brade). Though you have to think the Gomez trade is a sign that the Sedins are returning. Regardless, nothing confirmed yet.
6:41 PM ET: Via @mozy19, the CBC is reporting the Sedins are signed and delivered for Vancouver. Searching for more now...
6:00 PM ET: The Canadiens get Scott Gomez, Tom Pyatt and Mike Busto (great name guy) from the Rangers for Chris Higgins, Doug Janik, Ryan McDonagh and Pavel Valentenko. No reports on how drunk Gainey was to pull the trigger on this one. More fallout from Eyes on the Prize and Blueshirt Banter.

Gomez to Montreal is awesome! That was a sweet trade for both teams.
I wonder if the Sedins are getting hammered with their agents and playing poker.

Take the first six hours off, mate.
No surprises happening until at least noon. My bet, any how. 8)

My Word
That’s quite the defence for Calgary… Think the Big Three all stay in place?

Yes they do. But perhaps not as much as we think. They still need a couple pluggers and a d-man. It didn’t hurt letting Bertuzzi and Cammalleri’s contracts walk.

still can’t believe phoenix fucking helped them out on the vandermeer for prust deal (saving like 1.5).
vancouver’s never gonna pay off our karmic burden for getting luongo for bert.

don’t worry….boumeester isn’t going to solve all of their problems, he’s just one guy (who Bieksa scored more points than). We’ll be fine.

Heatley says no to the Oilers. Another thumbs down to Edmonchuk.
I've seen enough to know that I've seen too much.

If Adam Pardy is a RFA today, it might be a good time to boondoggle
the Flames with a contract offer to him. He’d look good on the 5-6th D line.
