I can't believe the trade!

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

agreed, very suprised to see them launch fugly.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Blockbuster!

Hate to see a cup winning team broke apart but they knew what they were getting into before the season started. They built to win, they won, now its time to take it apart.

Just like the Penguins, keeping the core group together is paramount.

And just like Halak, getting rid of who they did was perfect timing, their value could not have been higher.

I just wish my Penguins would get something done. The East is getting real good and the Pens haven't done much.

guess my rumor source is right. No Nabokov next year. Sure someone will snap him up. The Sharks had a offer to the Habs for Price which included Clowe. That obviously is dead.

Damn though I think the Sharks are going to over pay Patty. God I hope not.

I've got one for sale...


Just kidding, I will still proudly wear my Sopel jersey. He was a great defensive player and one of my favorites. And its probably a fairly rare jersey too lol.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Hawks parted ways with Colin Fraser to the Oilers for a 6th round pick.

Sharks signed Marleau and Pavelski to 4 year deals, good move for them.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Hmmm guess I need to go see terms. Rumor was his wife didn't want to go anywhere.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Rumor is Pavelski took a "hometown discount" to stay with the Fish.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Sounds like a good American boy to me.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

I like Pavelski a lot...I'd like him even better in the Red and Black. :)

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

I like him a lot also and hope he captains the team eventually. Dude is clutch and has ice water in the veins. when the boys got to meet the players this year he was one of the guys who posed for pics with any boy who wanted talked to them and signed every thing they gave to him. He really stood out among the sharks players as one who really cared that the kids had fun. He definitely comes from good stock and or has his head in the right place. Hoping Micah gets his number this year.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Definitely confirms what I thought about him. :tu

Be cool to see Micah in #8. :)

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

So much better :D

From espn.com

Marleau, who was eligible to be an unrestricted free agent on July 1, will receive $27.6 million in the four-year deal. Pavelski, who would have been a restricted free agent, will be paid $16 million.

P.S NHL Draft tonight :wo

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

the B's seem to be shaking things up.
Possible Savard to the Sens for Spezza the B's will have to add someone else in the deal to match up with salary.
They are also Actively shopping Tim Thomas
They have obtained Nathan Horton from the Panthers.


I hope they don't handcuff themselves salary wise

But they did get rid of Wiedman:tu

Some of my friends drove through Chris Pronger's hometown on the way to a fishing trip in Canada this weekend.

Congrats Tom on getting your photo with the cup. I envy you. Even though it has been in Detroit quite a few times in the past 10 years, I have yet to see it up close and in person, The closest I've gotten was at the parades as it was hoisted by the team captain.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Thanks Mike, it was definitely a special moment for me. :)
