A little surprised there wasn't more activity within the last 20 minutes. The last few trades I've kept tabs on had some activity before the 3pm deadline. Penner was the "big" one, and that was with 40 minutes still to go.

Toronto trades John Mitchell to the Rangers, the first deal after the 3pm deadline.

Didn't realize that Dustin Penner was married to Richard Zednik's ex-wife. Sloppy seconds indeed.

AHL Clear Day is March 7th (generally one week after the NHL Trade Deadline). It's the AHL's answer to the NHL trade deadline. Players can still be "traded" or loaned to other AHL clubs.


Not saying that this wasn't one of those "completed before 3pm" deals, but just saying that the option of moving minor leaguers still exists.

*edit* and indeed it is one of those completed by 3pm deals. The added info is still valid though. :)

Looks like Arnott is headed to the Caps. From the NHL.com's trade blog: "TSN's Bob McKenzie is reporting Jason Arnott has waived his no-trade clause to go to the Washington Capitals for David Steckel. Also, the Dallas Stars announced Brad Richards is staying put."

Woohoo! Glad to see the Thrashers really making a push for the post season! :rolleyes:

They've given up: Eager, Sopel, Dawes (AHL), Modin, Valabik (AHL), Peverley, Bergfors, Rissmiller (AHL), MacIntyre (AHL)
for: Wheeler, Stuart, Maxwell (AHL), Dvorak, Festerling (AHL), and some draft picks.

Woo. Plan the parade tonight.

I wasn't expecting them to become the Red Wings overnight, but Jesus, could Dudley have tried a little bit? Best part:
Eager (Dudley), Sopel(Dudley), Dawes(Dudley), Modin(Dudley), Valabik(Waddell), Peverley(Waddell), Bergfors(Both/Part of Kovy trade), Rissmiller(Dudley), MacIntyre(Dudley)
Dudley continually b*tches to the media about how he needs to change this team, get away from the mistakes the prior GM made... and then he goes and dumps players he was instrumental in bringing in.

:headdesk: How the * does he get given a halo and wings and continues to let Don Waddell get railroaded out of town?

Atlanta is dumb. 3 years. 5.1 million for a player who has 5 points and wasnt even an everyday player for Boston.
 
Re: 2010-2011 NHL Season Part II - Concussions Are Serious Business, Savvy?

So, uh, Chicago just resigned Brent Seabrook at 5 years, $29 million. They aren't going to be selling off pieces this summer since they get their penalty cap space back, but they aren't going to be making much of a splash to reload their depth, either.

Edit: Oh, UFA money to another RFA. Bowman's reading Tallon's notes.

I really think Bowman was behind the fiasco two summers ago and Tallon was the fall guy.

What I DO know is that I cannot wait to read former Comcast Sportsnet Chicago reporter Josh Mora's book regarding this, and his brief career in Chicago. He's got some dirt (and connections for more) on how everything went down.

Sharks extend Niemi for 4 years/15.2 million (3.8 cap hit)

On the high side, but they were kind of in a ****ty spot for goaltending. Niittymaki's been injury prone this year, Stalock has those severed nerves in his knee that he's hopefully rehabbing, but I'd doubt he'd be NHL quality by next season, and Sateri hasn't come over the pond yet from Sweden. UFA goalies were Bryzgalov, Vokoun, maybe Nabokov depending on what his contract turns out to be, and a bunch of no-names, really.

If Wilson can manage not to sign any craptastic old defensemen to contracts that are double what they were previously making (Wallin, Huskins), they'll be fine with the cap.

A little high, but not outrageous. I'm not huge on giving someone at that position with 2 years NHL experience a 4 year deal, but it's not my money. I did enjoy this quote form Lombardi:

"And like many of his teammates over this past year, he worked with us on a contract that fits within our team structure and enables us to keep our group intact."

So, he would have got more? :eek:
 
Re: 2010-2011 NHL Season Part II - Concussions Are Serious Business, Savvy?

It's going to be fun to see whether or not Vokoun can get the $5 mil/season he probably still thinks he's worth.

I just don't see any of the current contenders dropping that much money on a goalie when they could be using it for a good defenseman, some good depth players, and/or some raises for the kids.
 
Re: 2010-2011 NHL Season Part II - Concussions Are Serious Business, Savvy?

Team structure in San Jose means his cap hit is 3.8, but he's probably making more in the later years of the contract since Heatley's cap hit will exceed his salary after next season.
 
Re: 2010-2011 NHL Season Part II - Concussions Are Serious Business, Savvy?

GLM just tweeted that Bobby Goepfert is starting to use Twitter (@GeffMan47)

Seems Bobby is a little self aware of the jokes he earned in college:

TSNBobMcKenzie: @GeffMan47 Just be yourself in that kooky goalie kind of way. :-)
GeffMan47: @TSNBobMcKenzie It won't be a problem. More nervous about citing sources if I use a quote.

:D

Tuukka looks solid and the Bruins cap off the perfect road trip. 6-0.

Horton with goals in the last 3 games is encouraging too.

I like seeing some consistancy w/ rask as the season winds down. the PP looks improved, the Boston D is playing great, and the guys we got to score goals are picking it up. Don't know about you, but I am feeling good about this club right now.
