Yep! https://www.capfriendly.com/players/dan-girardi

That just means we'll lose a sub-million dollar contract and be stuck with Ericsson and Howard. Yet he says he wants to draft and develop, but won't pay a small price to guarantee he is able to retain Nosek, XO, Jensen, Sproul etc... He'll lose the talented Nosek when he could've possibly traded a pick away to guarantee losing $4Mish in cap...yep, that's Holland. Come deadline, a recovering Ericsson, Helm or Howard will be our acquisition. He must feel his vets will get him back to the playoffs instead of opening up cap to make your team better. Oh well....

That being said, he will be Holland's one year contract to prove himself, then be traded at the deadline.

Oh! Lol! When I heard he scored his 23rd goal of the post season, I thought they meant this one...oops!

It's oh so close! The awards night will have a record viewing audience this year, that's for sure!

None of means anything when they come to the NHL and are regulated to the 4th line or 13th forward. Bertuzzi's 23 playoff goals? That'll get him 3 minutes a game in Detroit.

Well that would be great then. I just didn't want to over value the #9 in a scenario.

....and I didn't include those names because I feel they're worthless. Quite the opposite. Also I believe it would take more than just the #9 for the 2 Blues picks. That is why I included player(s) I did. It would have to be attractive to St Louis than just the #9. If all we were offering is the #9, I could see them give us the #27 and their 2nd round.

23 goals? Impressive.

That'd be nice too, but I just didn't want to bust up the Tatar-Z-Mantha line.

If Tippett is gone at #9, I'd love to see Holland try to swing a deal with St. Louis trading them the #9 and a player (Nyquist/Tatar/Helm) for their #20 & #27. I'd also still like to see if Edmonton would give us the #22 for Mike Green.

Nah, he's better than Howard. Point being, he'll become that dominant goalie we need. Maybe as soon as next season if Holland dumps some crap off the D and somehow upgrades it.

....But, of course without Tippett, I'd still like to see Larkin as #2C with AA on his Wing. His other wing I'm not sure, but maybe Svech if he starts in Detroit?

Larkin needs to be handed the reigns of a top 2 center, with great linemates. AA-Larkin-Tippett Sounds great to me!

So they take David Clarkson, a guy who won't ever play, plus they get a 1st and a prospect? Good luck offering up one of our 3rds to get them to take injury prone Helm, Howard or Ericsson. We'll lose Nosek or XO/Jensen, maybe Sheahan giving us little to no cap relief, and we'll be stuck with the hot garbage from last season...nice. ...and fluery gets to celebrate for 2 weeks...hahaha!

I never thought I'd say this, but thank goodness for NBA Finals game 6 coverage. I don't have to listen to who the Stanley Cup Convfefe Reciepiants are.

It'll be ok, it took Hasek 4-5 years to become The Dominator. Petr is right on track. Soon as we ditch Howard and this becomes Petr's team he will be the next Dom. With the right subtractions and correct additions by Holland, Petr will lead us into the deep playoff run next season!

Pens do have a dubious honor....3 Cups they didn't earn. Tonight Crosby is giving his uncle Gary a mighty mouth hug.

Well, if Yandle waives his NMC, I could see Colorado being interested....

Here we Go! 5 more days until the list(s) are revealed!

Another s*** stain on the world of hockey and a another taint on the Cup. Got to love all the lockouts for league parity!

"Playoff Franzen"

Son of Wing, I'll just leave this here...

Go back, it first starts as arguing that it wasn't a penalty, it wasn't Crosby, it wasn't thrown....blah blah. Meanwhile quick whistle by uncle gary...

Yes
