Sportsnet says Howard to re-sign 2 yrs @ 2.25 mil per year

If thats true, we got hosed. @ two years it should have been less. Hopefully Osgood is gone next year and we somehow scam a backup for less or even to a mill.

Edit: It's not terrible though, especially if Lidstrom is gone next year....

Now Sportsnet's saying 2 years for 4.5, so the 2.25 I originally said appears to be correct.

[HankthaTank 1,100]

Bring Conks in. Ozzie thing might be a smoke screen, ya never know.....

And so it begins......

[Hockeytown_Ryan 119]

2 years 4.5 mill total?

[seeinred 1,488]

2 years 4.5 mill total?

That's what Sportsnet's reporting.

Sorry NFM, got excited, forgot this is trades only. Taking it elsewhere...

[Crashnburnluder 385]

yea... 4.5 total.... 2.25 per year

[Guest Hatethedrake!]

Bring Conks in. Ozzie thing might be a smoke screen, ya never know.....

The waiver deadline is at 12 so we should soon hear if Conks was claimed or not. Update: Conklin looks like he cleared.

Per ESPN LeBurn's Twitter:

Ty Conklin cleared waivers

i'm going to guess if a guy like Conklin fell to the Wings spot in the waiver order and we didn't take that flier, we probably are sticking to what we have going into the playoffs. I'd be pretty suprised too, doesn't seem like a Kenny type thing to do.

Klesla from Columbus to Phoenix for Upshall and Lepisto.

Seems like a pretty decent return for Klesla. Not that the BJ's should be trading defenseman tho...

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

Longest tenured Jacket is gone.

[Konnan511 1,736]

Very boring trade deadline. The big names already went and the other big names are being guarded by terribly high values. NYI want a 2nd rounder for Konkopa.... really....

TBH, I have a feeling its not going to be a ton better as the day goes by. As you said, with all the big names that have already moved and the ridiculously high prices it's pointing to be a slow day.

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

This is going to be even more boring than last season.
