    Hawks sign Fernando Pisani, $500k

    Ulcerative Colitis
  2. The Leafs offered him more money ($9 million or so) but he made a "hockey" decision.
  3. Geez, I dunno.....Find some stuff around the time he signed back with Toronto a couple years ago. He made some quotes then about leaving in 2002...and he probably did again when he announced his retirement.
  4. CuJo still says to this day the biggest mistake he ever made in his career was signing with Detroit. I don't think he has forgiven just yet.

    Kaberle stays in Toronto

    Was it ever confirmed that Burke got those offers? I thought it was just the usual B.S. on blogs and Twitter. I would rather lose Kaberle for nothing than take on Ryan Malone's contract.

    Kaberle stays in Toronto

    I really have no idea. Kaberle was the one expendable asset Burke had to get another forward, so I have no clue what the next move is, if there is one. Free agent pickings are pretty slim.

    Kaberle stays in Toronto

    I really don't see them trading any of them right now. I think Kaberle gets shopped at the deadline and this whole fiasco starts up again. Komisarek, Beauchemin really aren't worth trading because of the money they are owed. Kaberle is obvious. Lebda just got here. Schenn & Gunnarsson are too young to trade unless you get an offer you can't refuse. Phaneuf is the captain. Finger is an anchor and is probably bound for the AHL.

    Kaberle stays in Toronto

    Lebda appears to be press-box bound at this point, though somebody is bound to get hurt. Not trading Kaberle has certainly opened up a spot in the top-six for Kadri.

    Don't underrate Gunnarsson. He was better than most of those guys last year at times. Steady and reliable. He's got that Swedish poise.

    How are you dealing with the off-season?

    Just enjoying summer. I'll start to get antsy for hockey when it's training camp, waiting for the real thing to start. Training camp drags on way too long.

    NHL Rejects Kovalchuk's Contract

    The Devils weren't allowed to present a case in the process. I would assume they would likely have been declared as having a conflict of interest. Arbitrator's report/ruling I do wonder if this ruling sets in motion a move by the NHL to reject contracts like Luongo's.

    Best Captains by Team

    The only name in Leafs history that I would argue is Syl Apps. He captained the Leafs to three Cups, with WWII service in between them. And retired while still one of the best in the game. As for Sundin, I would argue he was a fine leader and player, but generally had nothing to work with.

    NHL Rejects Kovalchuk's Contract

    Absolutely. Question is whether they have budget space.

    NHL Rejects Kovalchuk's Contract

    By the sounds of it, they're not going to. The rejection is apparently all they were after.

    NHL Rejects Kovalchuk's Contract

    So now the question stands....What is an acceptable length for a large long-term contract?
  17. MacK_Attack

    NHL Rejects Kovalchuk's Contract

    Initial rumblings are that NHL rejection of the contract has been upheld.

    That's not the most reliable source in the world. He deletes stuff that he gets wrong. Although this one is right because it was reported by mass media last night.

    Antti Niemi files for arbitration

    Hawks walk away from Niemi.

    Wings better trade Lidstrom quick!

    Just to be fair, Doughty does have an Olympic Gold.

    Brendan Witt on waivers

    Isles will buy him out if/when he clears.

    Brendan Witt on waivers

    Let me rephrase that: Teams won't be willing to give him a multi-year deal given his injury history and 35+ status. Witt has had a lot of injuries over the years and his physical style has taken its toll on his body. He declined to the point that he spent a portion of last season in the AHL.
