Majsheppard 203 Report post Posted July 2, 2010 souray has also been put on waivers I bet this slows down FA signings because some teams might want to see if they can pick him up before they sign anyone. Not many teams, but just enough to make midlevel signings take an extra day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not many teams, but just enough to make midlevel signings take an extra day. That's definitely a possibility... this has been a SLOW day... I'm really surprised there haven't been more moves on day 2, maybe all the GM's have already left for the long weekend Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In all seriousness, someone in the business made a great quote about trades not happening and I think it applies here. The teams with money have no cap space, the teams with cap space have no money.

SwedeLundin77 460 Report post Posted July 2, 2010 Haha, so apparently now, Holland has been kicking the tires with Modano AND Kozlov... Slava that is. Very interesting, indeed. I mean, it wouldn't hurt the team necessarily but we have SOOOO many forwards right now. Just thought some would want to know, I saw it on spectors I believe.

I am still in the Modano camp. I think a third line with him between Cleary and Hudler would be awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HankthaTank 1,100 Report post Posted July 2, 2010 I am still in the Modano camp. I think a third line with him between Cleary and Hudler would be awesome. As am I. It would be a terrific motivational signing (with last year's happenings we may not need anymore) and if at the right price... Get it done. He will have to take an incredible discount and I just have a sneaking suspicion we are bringing Malts back as Detroit News reported earlier this week.....

If its a two way where he simply stays in form down in GR, id be all for it. Malts could provide some good leadership for those guys, and he fills in alright if we have any injuries. Konopka is really the only 4th liner I like who is still available (if he is), but if we couldn't get that grit signed on the 4th line, perhaps whoever we sign as the 3rd pairing D can fill that role instead.

That would be ok too. Having character guys like Malts and keeping their game up down with the younger guys is a win as well. Its an interesting thing with Malts because we all obviously love what he has done and in person he is just a great guy but he has no place but what we are speaking of. That goal in the Ottawa game was legit though lol. Big Z could watch Hank Z. LOVE IT! Also think that we need his faceoff skills as well. 60 or so percentage in the circle is fine with me especially with how we were embarrassed there way too often this past season which has been a staple for us for so long. I still love what Asham would bring as well as Winchester and Boll. These 4 are who I have wanted since looking at the lists. So we shall just see.

I think Konopka may be more of a possibility now that Stevie was pretty quick to re-sign Mitch Fritz,who spent last year in the AHL.The signing surprised me,but i think Fritz will get a spot in Tampa's lineup next year.

55fan 5,133 Report post Posted July 2, 2010 I'd love to have Malts available as a call-up if there isn't room for him on the regular roster, but I have a horrible gut feeling that once he hit waivers he'd be claimed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
