this is only my 2nd year paying attention to off-season coverage.
as i said in another comment elsewhere, there aren’t many top-brand UFA’s this year (mostly depth players), and there’s teams with lots of draft picks (Florida now has 5 picks in the 1st 2 rounds!!!), so lots of action this week.
plus, releasing the regular season schedule within 4 days of both the NHL awards and draft is adding to the insanity

That’s how Tallon did it in Chicago too. Florida will be a good team in 4 years… assuming it’s still in Florida, mind you.

Also, there are a teams that need to move players (cough Chicago cough) to get under the cap, and similar things. Makes for some interesting wheeling and dealing.

Busy off-season!
This one’s going to be a bit frantic leading up to the draft, it looks like. I’m expecting a bunch more trades than usual this time out, given the general lack of quality unrestricted free agents.
Boston’s certainly working on their scoring woes, but I don’t know if Horton is going to improve his numbers much. Horton’s had already been getting all the ice time he could eat with Florida, and 60 points seems to be his limit there. But if they match him with Savard, look for 80 points (if Savard stays upright for the season).
Campbell is… depth at forward. He’s versatile and fairly cheap, but that’s about it.
As for Wideman, he’s a flat-out offensive defenceman. Can’t do anything but help Florida’s numbers, but he’ll need someone responsible to pair with.
60 points in 70 games mind you… and that’s already pretty darn good if you ask me, worth a 15th overall pick in a heartbeat!

I would’ve like Gillis to get Campbell at the trade deadline this past season. Perfect 4th line grit.

Someone else has to move off that blue line: Ballard’s most likely, given there are some teams he’ll waive his NTC for. Otherwise, that’s just too much money back there!

So there goes a lot of Chicago’s cap trouble…
"Playin hurt, baby that don't faze me. I don't got time for pain. The only pain I've got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is!"
they are still in trouble
Cap Geek now showing $59.0 – leaving the Hawks with $1.4 m in cap space and 14 players under contract. Since you carry 23 – they still have a ton of work to do.
No, they still have issues
But now they have a bit of space, whereas before they were over
"Playin hurt, baby that don't faze me. I don't got time for pain. The only pain I've got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is!"
Don’t forget they have $3 mill less cap than other teams because they went over on bonuses last season!

He basically put up the same numbers as Kesler and got the same contract (cap hit anyways).
He can pretty much thank Kesler and his agent, I guess.
Slightly overpaid IMO (4-4.5M would be my range) but he’s a very good player.

should get royalties.

Massively overpaid.
Plekanec is older, lighter, softer, and wildly erratic in his production. If his can get some consistency in his game and assume a leadership role with Montreal which Kesler has done in Vancouver, then maybe a bit closer to 4-4.5 million.
He’s only 2 years older and not much smaller (a few inches and 10 lbs), but he can do everything on the ice that Kesler does aside from the physical stuff.
I think “Massively overpaid” is an overstatement if you compare it with similar contracts around the league (Horcoff, Havlat, Smyth, Legwand, Rolston).
Still a bit of an overpay though…

I think the deal was pretty close to being sane.
by Sean Zandberg on Jun 22, 2010 1:05 PM PDT up reply actions
I think “aside from the physical stuff” a a big statement to make when comparing players. I haven’t heard the words “Plekanec” and “leader” in the same sentence all that often, either. I think the deal was too long for someone with his scoring history and too much for someone who is just a scorer.
That being said, “just a scorer” is a mouthful when talking about Montreal – they clearly need people who can put up points, and maybe more time with Cammalleri and Gomez and Gionta will grow some consistency into his game. And a contract of that size will certainly keep other free agent’s attention…
He does play in the East so not being as physical isn’t as much of a concern, I think. But it also means he’s more durable because of that (like the Sedins).
Poutine & Meatballs
more time with Cammalleri and Gomez and Gionta will grow some consistency into his game.
I completely agree.
by Sean Zandberg on Jun 22, 2010 1:19 PM PDT up reply actions
Ask Philly...
…if being physical is a concern! Remember Montreal is a team that had to put Travis Moen on their top lines, and that’s as big a sign that your other top-line guys lack a certain something.
Montreal needs the points, though, so he gets cash. But in a void, I just don’t see Plekanec getting picked anywhere near Kesler.
Holy smokes
Well, at least we know Gauthier is insane. If the Halak trade didn’t already prove that.
Gotta play 'em, might as well win 'em.
He is smoking crack.

2013 Hall Voting
That’s going to be a tough crowd to get through:
Rob Blake, Peter Forsberg, Mike Modano, Chris Chelios, Keith Tkachuk, Teemu Selanne and Scott Niedermayer. Making a couple assumptions here, but my word!
Hey, anyone think Kariya might play in his home town for, say, two million bucks? One year contract to prove himself again, that sort of thing. Wouldn’t mind that on my third line. Okay, not gonna happen, but I think it would be a fun offer.
Fun…but completely foolish. I think Gillis is going after Modano once all the key UFA’s are gone and he got none of them :)

Feh!
Flashbacks to Messier… Heck, why not bring in the guy who was drafted right behind Modano if you’re going to go that route! What was his name again? Lintel, Lister… something like that.
This is a lively little pre-draft this year, isn’t it? I’m predicting that Gillis doesn’t do anything until the draft – then, if McIlrath and Tinordi are both gone, he’ll trade down or trade away our first round pick. After about number five, this year looks like a total crapshoot for who’s going to develop into a player and who isn’t.
Apparently, Nabokov is done in SJ,according to Twitter.

Good timing to let Nabby go. Lots of goaltenders out there this year, and he may well come back at lower cost.
Niedermayer is not coming
Thank god Niedermayer announced his retirement now! We won’t spend the rest of the summer hearing those ridiculous rumours of him “coming home to end his career.”
Face it people, Burnaby Joe had no interest, Niedermayer either. No hockey player buys into that sappy storyline.
One of the few. The Ducks gave Niedermayer a deadline to make up his stupid mind this year. Finally. I think we’ll be hearing from Selanne pretty quick too

A flurry of bids late Tuesday culminated in a winning offer of US$1,067,538 submitted by Mitchell Goldhar, the owner of SmartCentres, a private real-estate development company based in Vaughan, Ont., north of Toronto.
"I am pleased and proud to bring this important piece of Canadian history home," Goldhar said in a statement.
"As a lifelong hockey fan I know what Paul Henderson’s winning goal against the Russians in 1972 means to all Canadians."
Goldhar said the sweater will be sent on a national tour. He plans to make arrangements for it to be displayed at community locations such as museums, including the Hockey Hall of Fame, to ensure as many Canadians as possible can see it.
