    Wings sign Stephen Weiss, 5-years, $24.5m

    I'd link you to capgeek, but every time a team makes a signing their page crashes from views. With Alfredsson taking up $3.5m and Weiss' $4.9m Detroit should have $2.3m left.

    Wings sign Stephen Weiss, 5-years, $24.5m

    @Real_ESPNLeBrun: Like the old days in Hockeytown. Great day for GM Ken Holland and the Wings.

    Stephen Weiss on his way?

    I won't complain about $400,000. Nice signing.

    Filppula helped the club get into the playoffs and the second round. No one was going to give up anything for Ian White or an injured Colaiacovo.
  5. Yeah, it was. It was the game towards the end of the season where he blew up.

    David Clarkson is a Maple Leaf

    @DownGoesBrown: I don't want to talk about it. #leafs

    That'd be great. I'd absolutely love this deal at around $4.5 million.

    If necessary, teams can exceeded the salary cap until September.

    @Real_ESPNLeBrun: Wings still waiting to hear on Weiss to see if they got him or not

    Free Agent Signings

    @TSNBobMcKenzie: TOR agrees to 5-year, $21M deal with Bozak.
  11. Isn't there also a cap cushion in place for bonuses? Capgeek lists Alfredsson's $5.5 million contract as well as a $60 million payroll, but shows the Wings as having $7.2 million left because $3 million of it is bonus money.

    Dan Cleary Watch

    He's not on the TSN hockey insider Twitter list. And his twitter profile background has a fake verification mark embedded in it.

    Brunner Contract Talks

    J Walter Weatherman, is that you? But, yeah. I agree.
  14. Far-reaching, it may be. The tweet came through shortly after the announcements of the Clowe signing. Last season he certainly fit the bill of a "bad player on a good team", though I suppose I don't know who the comparison would be to. Carry on.

    ...When he turns 32?
  16. Nyquist and Andersson will get something in the neighborhood of $875,000 apiece. I'd wager that Smith might get something like $1.1 mil.

    Brunner Contract Talks

    From a numbers standpoint, I'll admit that I misread the charts for 03-04 and 05-06 wherein he played 60 and 41 games respectively. But still, three shortened years in 10 isn't bad.
  18. Re: Clowe? @tsnscottcullen: Apparently it's much better to be a bad player on a good team than a good player on a bad team. #Ihadnoidea
  19. His ability to play the center position isn't directly related to his wingers. Plus, how is Franzen "barely top 6" material?

    Dan Cleary watch, you say? Found it.

    Emery to Flyers for 1.65m one year deal

    Pennsylvania's new state motto. @capgeek: #NHL #Penguins down to $750K in cap space with three roster openings. http://www.capgeek.com/penguins/%C2'>

    Brunner Contract Talks

    With the exception of last season he's played at least 74 games a year since being a full time NHLer. Injury prone he is not.
  23. Clowe is getting his Scrooge McDuck on at this very moment.

    Emery to Flyers for 1.65m one year deal

    His record was indicative of the team in front of him. A Mason / Emery combination is a recipe for disaster in Philadelphia, seeing as they eat goaltenders alive there. That said, should we create a catch-all thread for these signings?
