Damn, we should has signed him to a 30 year deal!!

For sure!!!

Great article. I am now pumped again!!

Okay, never use the Words, BACK and SURGERY in the same Sentence, let alone a Thread Title!!! Geezz!

<br /><br /><br />Remember in his press conference after his last game he said, "Well, I might get a little Favre-itis" http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=fx5&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=mike+modano+favre-itis&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=

<br /><br /><br />Probably the moment they heard we were after him. The 'Hawks go after anyone we had or are trying to sign. Remember Sopel? lol.

The Devils are rumored to have offered up a seven-year, $60 million contract plus a 17-year, $100 million offer. ------------------------ Somebody clarify something for me. Didn't the league look hard at the Pronger and Hossa deals last year? And they were only bringing those players to 41 or something. How the hell could that be possible to sign a guy until he's 45???

<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />They can't do that anyway. He's almost 30 right? So that would bring him to like 45 and that the NHL would not allow. Didn't the 'Hawks almost get in trouble for the Hossa deal that brings him to 41??<br /><br />And then there's the Philly and Pronger deal that was looked into as well by the league. <br /><br />It's impossible. If Kovie was 23, maybe....

Mark Everson reports Devils GM Lou Lamoriello remains in the hunt for Kovalchuk, adding it's not interfering with what he's doing with the roster. "Wild rumbles" have the Devils offering up a 17-year, $100 million contract, but there's also speculation they might lower any offer they made. http://www.spectorshockey.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1535:the-kovalchuk-free-agent-watch-july-9-2010&catid=5:trade-rumors&Itemid=4 Well that's just funny. That's totally not even possible in the CBA.

And it'd be a lot lower that 8.5 millions dollars, lol.

It would be great if he took a $5 million one year deal and we moved some salary around. Okay, I am done dreaming now.

<br /><br /><br />How is that possible? Who are you leaving out?

Man I hope Modano comes here!!

I like the idea of keeping Meech too. Don't really see why he gets so much hate. It's a great depth signing.

They are going to HAVE to try and get somebody to take on either Campbell or Huet. And with some of the GM's around the league, I won't be the least bit surprised to see either one moved. And then Chicago will kinda be fine again, as far as cap space. But it's not like they didn't see this coming. You'd think they'd do something with Huet or Campbell right off the bat and keep some of their depth that they traded away..... ????

Wow. Not too suprised.

And if I'm Philly, I AM NOT trading Jeff Carter.

I kinda like Shane Hnidy as a last resort because he's right-handed.

Brain Burke anyone??

I am not suprised they are letting Lilja walk. He missed a year because of the injury and he isn't worth the risk at this point and he can probably find more money elsewhere.

It's never a suprise with the Rangers.

<br /><br /><br />Thanks!!

Anybody have the direct link to the tsn FA tracker? I'm on dialup.

What? News to me. Lilja was supposed to be testing the market.

<br /><br /><br />Yeah, I was too about to point out that BAD example!!
