stillwater 186 Report post Posted July 1, 2010 they need a better goalie, they will make trades They have 3 goalies signed for this season and they signed Leighton. The Leighton signing ended their search for a "better" goalie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HankthaTank 1,100 Report post Posted July 1, 2010 The worst deal of the day IMO, was Ottawa signing an injury riddled Gonchar, who quite frankly looked like he'd given up against Montreal in the playoffs, to a 35+ 3-year, $5.5 million contract. They now have the defensive equivalent to the enigmatic and equally useless Alexei Kovalev. ... and to boot, they've very got little cap room left. I don't really get anything Ottawa does.

mjlegend 155 Report post Posted July 1, 2010 I tend to agree, but the worst deal of the day that is still upcoming is the Kovalchuk deal. Some sun belt team will pay him $60-$70 mil/8 years to be the next Alexei Yashin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

irishtemper14+25 11 Report post Posted July 1, 2010 They have to pay him regardless. Rocky is a completely different owner than Dollar Bill. No matter where is playing they have to pay him 5 mill, unless they trade him or he is picked on waivers. He plays in the NHL, obviously he gets paid. Rockford: 1 way contract he gets paid. KHL: Paid in order to count on his contract years. Exactly my point, they aren't going to pay some guy 5 million dollars to go play in the AHL or KHL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragonballgtz 273 Report post Posted July 1, 2010 So if Kovalchuk does not go today is it pretty safe to say that he is going to the KHL? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stillwater 186 Report post Posted July 1, 2010 Ottawa is unlike say the Habs or the Leafs. If the team is bad, they'll boo in Montreal and Toronto, but in Ottawa, they'll stop buying tickets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mjlegend 155 Report post Posted July 1, 2010 (edited) Speaking of teams that have no cap room: Ottawa's Bruce Garrioch: SunGarrioch Olli Jokinen close to signing with the Flames. Working on a two-year deal. Edited July 1, 2010 by mjlegend Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dominator2005 558 Report post Posted July 1, 2010 Foster would be a good fit for the 3rd pairing here. Nice, RIGHT hand D who can play on 2nd PP unit and clear the crease - he was healthy... I'm with you on this one!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stillwater 186 Report post Posted July 1, 2010 I can't believe the Flames would go down the "Olli" road again. That management team should be shot if they sign Jokinen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Earthhuman 8 Report post Posted July 1, 2010 Kronwall is twice the defenseman some of these players are, for almost half the price; albeit "injury-prone." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey I am willing to wait until the end of July to see if this comes to fruition. Would be all over it though especially with Boll's track record of pissing guys off and actually being real good on the blades too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
