HOW?

Agreed. I would have been much more confident that Holland was going to do something smart by doing nothing after not being able to land Ehrhoff, Boyle, Stralman, or Niskanen. Was it really necessary to sign Q on July 1? He wouldn't be there July 15th? Aug 15th? We weren't worried about getting signed Alfie yesterday? Q is that important. No. Pure Panic Move.

ok. let's not get silly now. there's no 'n' in his name.

We had bigger fish to land, obviously.

Except isn't Q headed for the 3rd pairing? Kronwall - Ericsson Dekeyser - Smith Kindl + Quincey Lash oof. If you don't see the second bolded part as an issue... something to worry or fret or freakout over... Well, then I don't know what to say.

I must disagree. While I don't think he's dooming us to hell. Holland didn't just bring him back... He gave him a raise!! ...and I don't care if he had a better second half. It still wasn't enough.

I'm right there with you. This is a sad, sad, sad day.

Not surprised. Just truly disappointed. Truly, truly, truly

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

How about Vrbata? He's on a couple lists. He's on mine after Iggy and Moulson. ...and well, they're both gone. So... Craig Morgan ‏@cmorganfoxaz 3m UFA RW Radim Vrbata's camp won't make decision on future today. Considering several options. Vrbata is in Czech Republic. 12:30 am there. Of course we won't know today on Vrbata. As far as Del Zotto goes... He might be better than Q offensively, but certainly no better defensively. Kindl might be better defensively, probably not offensively. Del Zotto will cost as much as Kindl. Just because he'd be new and shiny doesn't mean he'd be better.

Havlet signed with New Jersey. Also... Ken Campbell ‏@THNKenCampbell 2m Cap hit on Nabokov's one-year deal with Tampa Bay is $1.55 million.

No. No. NO. NONONONONONONONONNOOOOOOO!

2m @georgemalik Looks like the Germans spoke about signing with Pens alltogether: Ehrhoff, Greiss and now Goc on the same day, no coincidence. Josh Yohe ‏@JoshYohe_Trib 3m The Penguins are bringing back Marcel Goc for $1.2 million next season.

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie 2m Evgeny Nabokov signs a one-year deal with TB.

Ehrhoff... but he said he was "all in" with Pittsburgh from the get go.

Ansar Khan ‏@AnsarKhanMLive 1m Also, Wings very surprised Ehrhoff took one year at $4 million from Pitt. when his camp was telling them he wanted five years. So it sounds like we pitched him something or didn't because we were thrown off by the five years? Either way, I guess...

Ansar Khan ‏@AnsarKhanMLive 35s Wings offered Dan Boyle three years at $12.5 million ($5M, $5M and $2.5M) but he took two years, $9 million from Rangers. OMG!!! I am so glad that this did not happen! Ansar Khan ‏@AnsarKhanMLive 32s Also, Wings were told as late as this weekend they were on Niskanen's "short list" but informed early today they were out.

Smyth is a known crier.

Malin Åkerman??

She didn't even get you a GoBot.?!?!? Your grandma sucks.* *Not your actual grandmother. I'm sure she's a lovely lady.

Brian Boyle to Tampa ob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie 2m Brian Boyle to TB. Three years, $2.3M AAV.

How did KH not get Tatar and Dekeyser re:up'ed today?

Elliotte Friedman ‏@FriedgeHNIC 7m Niskanen received a partial NTC for the full term I can't imagine that Holland didn't offer him a NMC. So this is a non-starter. Greg Wyshynski ‏@wyshynski 1m “It’s not going to Philadelphia like Max Talbot did a couple of years ago.” - Orpik on joining Caps. Oh sure Brooks. Tell yourself whatever you like to make yourself feel better. You went to rival.

Trying, unsuccessfully, to convince him to change his mind. He also spent a lot of time doing that with Boyle. ...and with Stralman. I'm sensing a pattern here. Kronner - Smith DeKeyeser - Ericsson Kindl - kid Lash
