It was a joke, because everyone's takin' shots at Rob.

Especially if they could get him for cheap. Heaven forbid the Leafs spend money, to try to make their team good!

Very clever.

I bet you any money that the Pens sign Lang; He's just the kind of cheap, young talent their team is centered on!

I could see the Blues being a real contender this year, especially if they sign an UFA tomorrow; if they had hired that new coach at the beginning of the season, I bet they would have made the Playoffs THIS year.

I love Lilja's expression in that picture. :punch:

That's strange... It's not like he's lazy, or he sucks, or anything of the sort...?

Good move on the Wild's part, IMO. They dump the (rather large) salary of a mediocre Goaltender, and freed some space for some UFA's tomorrow. Boston needed a Goalie, though; Thomas cracks down easily, I've noticed.

Even though things look really negative, I'm sure Kenny will make the best decisions for the Team. He always does.

What happens, I believe, is that we all assume the role of a GM for an NHL team. We communicate with each other, trading players from our rosters, and signing players, to create the strongest teams possible. It's all just for fun to see, if we were GMs, what deals we could make with others.

I think that I'd rather have Holmstrom.

Heheh, I LOL'ed at that, because my Dad thinks that he's a hockey genius. Not that I agree, but it was just funny because my Dad just said this morning how smart he thinks good ol' Nick is

Hmmm... The article mentioned him as a veteran, so I assumed that he would be older. I don't know much about Mair, but I read that the numbers he put up weren't THAT impressive, so I assumed that we could get a better player than him. I don't know why he would be called a veteran, but, at any rate, my mistake

Sounds good; I'll join. alex_hockey101@hotmail.com

Shadow47, I would agree, except for the fact that Mair is a veteran, and while some older players, such as Smyth and Blake, would be excellent in red, I'd rather have a young player instead of Mair.

For some reason, I like the Sabres' Uniforms, especially the part with the dagger on the shoulder and the number on the front. To me, it just looks more professional

I remember that, at one point in the Playoffs, Lilja was leading the NHL in hits. Now if we can get more guys to play like that, all the time, then we won't need an enforcer. I'm not saying that players like Datsyuk and Zetterberg have to be going out and deliberately checking other players, but if they DO play with a bit of an edge, then that'll be great. Datsyuk even said, "I try to hit more this year, so people don't forget me" in an interview, so it shows that some Wings are trying to play tough.

Thanks for the update! I hope the Wings can make some (positive) news by the end of the day!

At least Legace is getting ALL the action he wants in St.Louis now Thanks for explaining that to me. And DetroitIan, that makes a little bit of sense, if the Wings DID in fact blow a 3-0 lead. I kinda feel bad for him now...

Wow, I never knew Legace was like that. I always thought he was an OK-Guy.

Thanks man :fro: Bannedforlife: Are you serious? Was he serious, and was the loss really that bad?

DetroitIan, could I have a link to where you're getting this information from please?

I'm thinking that things will be heating up later today, because the closer we get to tomorrow, the more active GMs will become!

I agree with both of you, but I have a question. What was the problem with the Wings' confidence in Legace? I just started getting into the NHL this year, so some incidents in the past I don't understand, such as this one....

Legace cracked in the Playoffs, whereas Bryz has shown two years in a row that he can work under extreme pressure.
