    That happened last year as well.

    They mentioned the rumour that Pahlsson might head to the Hawks. That would be a real nice pickup for them, but is there the sense that he doesn't want to resign in Anaheim?

    Guerin to Pens Floppa not in Denver after all. Nice work Dater!

    That's a nice pickup for them. Brings some needed experience to their locker room.

    Wasn't Campbell supposed to mean the Cup for the Sharks last year?

    Exactly. How so? There are questions about Ozzie's play, who's under contract thru 2011 . Conklin is a UFA after this year. Without Howard, that leaves a completely untested Larsson. That doesn't sound like a lot of depth to me. I agree Howard's running out of time and has been inconsistent and a bit disappointing. But like you said, the deal sounds all wrong for someone the Wings still have hopes for.

    I'm not sure I buy that deal. After all the effort the Wings have put into developing Howard, are they going to trade him to rent Neil after one bad start?

    The Ducks traded Montador? Isn't that the wrong defenseman?

    Yeah, he can't very well say "we definitely need X" and then not make a move.

    I don't think Phoenix would move him and Jokinen on the same day. Maybe those rumors were bogus after all.

    I had the same thought. Hopefully he bounces back strong.

    Gary Roberts cleared waivers. Is that a career for him? That's a sad end, if that's the case.

    I'm not sure of the specifics of Calgary's cap position. But Leopold makes $1,500,000 this year. Edit: Which is just under a prorated $350,000 cap hit, if my math is right.

    Leopold gives the Flames some really nice depth on defence. If they do add Jokinen as well, they definitely are a better team now.

    You think so? His production has dropped each of the past three years. He'd give the Flames a bit more scoring depth, but I don't think he's the support Iginla and Cammalleria need to really make them a force. They would still be relying on Kipper to take them far.

    Nice to see Buffalo re-sign Connolly after re-signing Miller earlier in the year. They've had a tough go of it recently with retaining players.

    Wow, Dredger really got under Burkie's skin there Edit: I meant Duthie, not Dredger.

    There are no easy first round matchups, at least on paper. That being said, they're an easier opponent than some of the alternatives (Anaheim, Dallas, Minnesota) and are nice and close. Edit: grammar

    He's having a bit of a down year and fighting injuries, but what an embarrassment of riches in goal for Columbus if a 26-year-old goal like Leclaire is expendable.

    Onrait's not writing his blog naked this year. That's an improvement.

    The Pale Rider rides again . You'd think so too if you were sharing a set with Matthew Barnaby.

    0! omfg! Seriously, though. Kenny has certainly told us not to expect a deal in the past and then swung one. So maybe we can put the rumor to rest--until tomorrow.

    3/2 GDT: Red Wings 5 @ Blues 0

    Apologies. But I'm sure you'll understand that's easy to miss, give the background of perfectionists and overreactors that inhabit the GDT.
