2009 NHL off-season trades, rumours, draft thread

Toews, Kane and Keith are all RFA after the upcoming season.

 

Even sooner than I thought. I presume this means Havlat will be playing elsewhere next season.

 

Dreger tweet: Hossa's deal heavily front loaded. 53 mil for the first 7 years of the 12 yr deal. TSN

edit: Hossa will make $59.3 mil in the first 8 years and $3.5 over final four

 

Reportedly, Tomas Kopecky joins his buddy Hossa.


Also, Ty Conklin signs with the Blues.

 

Stanley Cup Final (or final) - singular. This ain't the NBA.

 

Is this passage supposed to make us feel bad or something?

Boxing promoter Don King once called us Edmonites, but the rest of the country only calls us insane. Imagine, Canadians residing in a place where it gets cold in the winter; where you actually have to learn how to drive on icy streets, and pick up a snow shovel before you leave for work in the morning once in a while.

It's far from the only place in Canada where that sort of thing happens. Cry me a fucking river, Edmonton.

 

Enjoy him, JR and HC.

 

Your boy Crusher re-signed with Anaheim AMac.

 

yeah.....what the hell is that all about? It gets cold in Boston too.....you don't see us crying about it!

 

All that's true, but I still never would have signed him to that kind of contract.

 

Brashear to Rangers (2 years, 1.4 per). 400k more than Orr got from Leafs.

 

Leafs are also after my buddy Chris Neil - yes!!!! Maybe time to pull the blue-and-white pom-poms outta mothballs?
