So someone I know told me Uncle Bob said Franson was the player coming back from the Leafs. Should I be thanking Josh Gorges more emphatically now?

So I guess that makes Thompson our 3rd line center. And to think I was looking forward to us having real depth down the middle. Does Murray have some Voodoo curse that makes him sign some loving poo poo D-man to a bad contract every drat offseason? Especially with what Ehrhoff and Stralman went for. Jesus Christ, Bob. General Manager of the year.

Lubo is actually just really good, Murray never should have let him go. That makes Beauchemin, Souray, Fistric, Allen and Stoner all as player Anaheim is going to rotate in 2 D slots. That is, if they ever actually sign Sami

Columbus' lines coming into July 1st: Jenner-Johansen-Horton Hartnell-Dubinsky-Atkinson Calvert-Anisimov-Foligno Comeau-Letestu/MacKenzie-Boll Letestu/MacKenzie/Skille Johnson-Tyutin Wisniewski-Murray Prout-Savard Erixon/Goloubef  McElhinney __ Columbus' lines as of now: Jenner-Johansen (probably)-Horton Hartnell-Dubinsky-Atkinson Calvert-Anisimov-Foligno (Somebody)-Letestu-Boll Johnson-Tyutin Wisniewski-Murray Prout-Savard Erixon/Goloubef McElhinney So, somebody's going to have to step in on the 4th line and Aaron Portzline suggests it could be Kerby Rychel, which I hope works because I don't know who else is ready to step up. Unless they want to sign David Legwand as somebody suggested a few days ago. Can he play wing? And why is Columbus still spending American money on Jared Boll? e- Johansen still doesn't want a bridge contract apparently. Because those are so awful. Right, Bob?

I hope Fayne does well in Edmonton but it's probably going to go like Oduya in Atlanta. He won't be a disaster but he is going from Andy Greene and the Corsi Machine to the aforementioned Edmonton and do they really expect him to play first pair that's a bit much fellas e: Devils are now a really good team I drafted in NHL 2k5 T-Bone fucked around with this message at 02:33 on Jul 2, 2014 |

I would guess the Caps might move him since he's sort of redundant with Carlson and Niskanen and I assume they want to get a 2C but I'm getting HFboardsy so I'm gonna stop that thought here.

Well the only certain thing about Chicago in 2014-2015 will be that Toews is centering the top line. The chances of Teuvo playing much at all this season are pretty slim, barring an injury. Richards is probably going to see at least eight different linemates before December. What a difference 3 years and a horrific playoff performance makes, everyone would have gone batshit if he hopped on Chicago in 2011. Now it's just a solid low risk signing.

And good players don't need to be on good teams to put up a decent amount of points. 31 points in your past 91 games is step or two above above suck, but not somebody I'd be hinging on returning to a .69 points/game rate (that was even higher than that until he hit the skids before the trade).

Winning the Stanley Cup is great and all, but I kinda miss days like today, the draft, and the trade deadline. Its fun remaking your team every year until you strike gold. Orpik at 5.5 is hilarious. And for 5 years. That's why I love Matt Greene. He could have bolted for Orpik Money but chose to stay here and a very reasonable deal. Good luck to Willie Mitchell in Florida. He could play out these last two years and stay there for his retiremnet.

It looks like the Leafs should have enough cap space to sign Steve Ott. I would love to see a Komarov-Ott-Clarkson line. They would play a tough gritty game and if they ever manage to score a goal it would be really embarrassing for the other team.
