One could say that...

Recchi's having a great year.

I believe so too. But he's getting frustrated,613 NHL-games played & he's never been in the playoffs. Yeah,let the kids stay!

Of course that could happen. Teams with huge cap room have an advantage,'cause they can seriously overpay. If they'd offer 7 million to Dats,I bet he'd be in Philly faster than anyone can say "greedy Russian" There's only one "but" in this one- Dats doesn't play for the Islanders (are Flyers allowed to trade with other teams too?)

Eager-trade is quite realistic,I think you guys are on to something here. There's not going to be a big fish before the deadline/or in July. And finally LGW's aren't waiting for a Crosby-trade,instead they've turned their eyes on Eager (Whose trade would be soooo Kenny-this years Cory Cross).

Indeed. The only good thing about this was that I won some money. There's this betting here in Finland before every Grand Slam,where you have to know both mens/womens champions. Federer has improved every season on the clay,he must win the French Open or he's going backwards- he was so close of winning it last year.

You too,eh? So it was as dominant performance as the score suggests? I'm at work so I couldn't watch it,but maybe that was a good thing.

I thought the next Crosby would be John Tavares.

It was indeed quite a battle. It wasn't Andy's year yet,but he's my pick for the 2008! I'm sick of everyone trembling before Roger. Djokovic looked like a winner,but he was a scared little boy against Federer. Roddick won Federer last time,(although it was only a exhibition tournament) so maybe... Nah,he's going to win it anyway. I'm rooting for Serena!

I'm expecting Berdych or Blake to beat Nadal and reach for the final. Roger seems a lock as the other finalist,but stranger things have happen. His next match against Djokovic shouldn't be easy and he still has to win Roddick,who was great against Safin. If Serena beats Jankovic,she can go on and win the tournament. So far it's been a great comeback for her!

Ryno plays for Timrå now? Was it a trade or has he been loaned there? He has scored in the last couple of games,which is a very good sign.

Nope,i checked and he wasn't on the Team Sweden roster.

Looking at the camp roster,i'd say it's going to be a close call. 13th forward?

Ryno,Ritola,May & Stamler. That's my opinion. Mielonen is always injured,he's not going to make it in the NHL. And as for Sundin - not with that kind of name.

Yeah,me too! He's probably going to be playing in the WJHC's?

Where's Filppula? He's definitely my favourite.

Frölunda sacked their coach this week. How about it Systemfel,a chance for Ryno to grab a bigger role?

San Jose should try Nabokov for Murray & Bergeron. Sort of Thornton-trade style...

I have mixed feelings over this. I wouldn't mind Carter playing for us,but it would be stupid not to let our kids play. If only we haven't signed Johnson...

No way can Clarke make this trade,it would be kind of Islanders/Bruins-stupid.

Great article! Now,the Russian Hockey Federation just please sign that contract,so we can get him to play without problems next season.

I'm ok with it. I'm just wondering one thing. We all saw how the defensive D-mens were immediately signed july 1st- july 3rd,they were so popular. Why not Markov? Is he not as good as we think -were we the only club willing to pay him that kind of money? Or was his agent on holiday? But having said that,he was the only choice (out of UFA's) out there who seems to have some kind of shot blocking & grit mentality. We know how Kenny's not keen on making any trades,so he did what he had to do and signed him.

I'll still go with the usual : "Trade Sarich"-chant. Works for me.

Pass. Jussi Markkanen&Edmonton showed us all that a team can play well in the playoffs with an awful goalie. But not without shot blocking-defenseman,speed & grit they can't. That's what we need. Why not start Howard before he's 30?

Give him 2 million max!
