    NHL GM's have to be the slowest and most backward thinking managers in all of sports.
    Seriously. It's been a no-brainer for so long. Never once while watching a game this season did I think, "Boy, I wish they would have just let them fight out that icing that they just called."

      Yeah, Roy offered him for Rene Bourque in January. PAP was awful this past year, but thought he had more value than Danny Briere.

        Predators didn't qualify MDZ, he's a UFA now.

          Getting Briere is better than buying out PAP Smear.

          The Wings want one of Niskanen or Boyle, but Ehrhoff now available, they may sign two D and attempt to move Kindl (why just not offer Kindl straight up for Ehrhoff and worry about the recapture later? ). Wings have 15 M or so in room before resigning RFA DeKeyser, Tatar and Sheahan or any UFAs, Legwand and Alfredsson being the only real candidates there. Talks about 2C options have subsided until after their D options are off the board.

            Excited/Frightened for tomorrow, I think Stastny will be playing Central division next year with either Colorado, Dallas, or St.Louis.

                I thought Arizona could of been in the running for NastyStastny too, St Louis is a good fit though (with Oshie I dig)

                I dont wanna lose my boy though, I feel like he is as much of a Colorado Native as me... shame

                  My college buddy who lives in the Springs and is a huge Avs fan feels the same way. He called me last night to tell me he's going to be pissed at me forever if he signs in St. Louis. With our scoring needs I think it'll be worth having him mad.

                    It was because his recapture penalty was huge if he retired in about 4 or 5 years.

                        The Wild are going sign Niskanen, Stastny, Vanek, and Iginla. Somehow. Don't question it.

                          And on cue, Spezza is traded to Dallas for cash and prospects. No details yet.

                            He'll be great for the Stars.
                            I'm glad Detroit isn't in that division anymore.

                            EDIT: I wonder if Alex Chiasson is involved?

                                Pens bottom 6 players from past few years.. heck, some got to dance with 87 and 71 at times.

                                Goc, Vitale, Adams, Megna, Gibbons, Connor, Pyatt, Ebbet, Kobasew, Zolnierczyk, Comrie, Craig, Godard, Johnson, Sterling, Tangradi, Wallace, Macintyre, McDonald, Jeffrey, O'Reilly, Park, Williams, Boychuk, Smith, Glass, Rupp, and Asham..

                                LOL..

                                Goc, Rupp, Asham, and Glass about the only guys worth a dang, but that not saying much. Glass would have been a solid addition this year with new coach/system. no way they bring him back though. Goc i would love to have back, he is a very solid player, but he will get paid decent by someone. Pens cant afford him IMO. maybe im wrong!

                                i just posted those guys on twitter last night bc people were moaning and groaning about the Pens being linked to Maholtra, Moss, MacKenzie, Moore, Boyle, Winnik, Cracknell, Fiddler, etc etc type players.

                                a few of those guys will make some decent money, and Pens cant snag em, like Winnik, but if the Pens snagged 2 of those guys, to fill in the bottom 6 roles they much better than 20 plus guys i mentioned LOL.

                                yinzers are hilarious..

                                seriously, just went through that list again prior to posting and it made me sick that i had to root for them! LOL LOL..
