The Isles are not a big market team. That market is owned by the Rangers. My company is based on Long Island and I can tell you known of the people at my office care about the Isles....they are all Rangers fans.

given the changes we have seen so far to the Western Conference what do you think the order of finish will be? 1: Sharks 2: Vancouver 3: Kings 4: Red Wings 5: Anaheim 6: Chicago 7: Nashville 8: Columbus ___________________ 9: Calgary 10: Dallas 11: St Louis 12: Edmonton 13: Phoenix 14: Colorado 15: Minnesota

given our unwillingness to pay anyone the going rate today I would agree. (except the Ericsson deal) Am I the only one that thinks we should have signed Ryder to that 2 year $7m deal?!?

If we sign a top 4 Dman I will OK with this....if not and we are set on D then

Yuck!!!!

What I don't understand is what we are looking for? Kenny says we need a top 4 Defensemen and a top 6 Forward and then does nothing to address these positions while the guys that could fill that roll are almost all gone. The Cap went up $5m.....did Kenny think the players weren't gonna capitalize on that???

and the Caps are in on Vokoun! WOW

Rumored to be a 4 year deal!?!?!?! WOW

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love it!!!

Hudler, Stuart and 1st round pick for Doughty.

Great deal!!!! Love it!!!

I would take a 5th or 6th round pick for him.

What about adding Erik Cole?

OMFG!!! We can't trade a 7th for Montador rights but we will give Ericsson $3.25m per year?!?!?!?!?!? WTF.

Winner!!

The Islanders are probably going to offer him $6m per year.

Sign Jovo to a 1 year $5m deal. Sign Wisniewski to a 4 year $5.5m py deal Lidstrom - Wisniewski Kronwall - Stuart Jovo - Kindl

Why have we never heard Salt Lake City as a possible destination? I would think they would be a nice location given the winter sports angle.

Our "huge" free agent move will be Ericcson at $2.4m per year.

What would we lose in picks if we offer sheeted Bogosian and signed him?

I totally agree that we weren't interested in either of those 2 but having them land where they did is not good. I guess my biggest issue at this point is that I'm not high on this FA class. I personally think Burns is better than any UFA D man available. We have Lidstrom for 1 more year and need/should make a huge push for the Cup this next season. I don't see any UFA/s with the exception of Richards that would push us to that point.

I'm not so much pissed as very concerned. Sharks = Better Kings = Better Columbus = Better (but still not contender) Some good news: Blackhawks = Worse With the loss of Rafalski the Wings are without question worse. We need to add a top 3 defensemen and and a top 6 forward without question to remain competitive with SJ. We are undersized at forward as it was and now with Burns in SJ we REALLY need some size up front. I have this sick feeling that we will not spend to the Cap and Ilitch is tight on money for the Wings. I hope I'm very very wrong.

WOW. What a fire sale in Flyer land.
