barabbas16 499 Report post Posted June 29, 2011 I do not understand why Ed Jovonovski's name seems to continually get mentioned as some kind of a solution before Ian White. 1 Heroes of Hockeytown reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Konnan511 1,736 Report post Posted June 29, 2011 From Vancouver to the Island, wouldn't that be a helluva drop-off! Seems like a waste to me, I doubt he signs with them before checking the market out. Well...every team needs to make it to the cap floor. NYI seem intent to spend big on one or two players on short term deals to make it happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Travis 576 Report post Posted June 29, 2011 Looks like Kaberle is getting the same treatment. @ DarrenDreger: Boston Bruins sent out an email this afternoon offering Tomas Kaberle's negotiating rights. Van did same for Ehrhoff and found a deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drewmoff 1 Report post Posted June 29, 2011 Ehrhoff's rights traded to the Isles for a 4th round draft pick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Majsheppard 203 Report post Posted June 29, 2011 I don't care, I do not want to get involved in this trading for a few days negotiating rights. Also, if I was a free agent I would never allow this to happen. I would call up the team and tell them to ask for the trade to be negated because I intend to go to UFA no matter what. This is teams getting greedy, like hording water. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragonballgtz 273 Report post Posted June 29, 2011 (edited) I would be completely baffled if Ehrhoff accepts a contract with NYI... they are perennially failures and aren't turning around anytime soon. He'll pick a contender to go to, in the end. If he doesn't and just goes for a cash grab, then he's not worth it anyway. We don't know what his intentions are. Not re-signing with the Nucks is a good indication though. Edited June 29, 2011 by dragonballgtz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DirtyD 38 Report post Posted June 29, 2011 Kaberle is a quiet option. The guy"s got puck moving skills. In terms of a raw Rafalski replacement, I'd consider him AND I wouldn't be surprised if Kenny didn't do the same. The guy's been an offensive stud for years and I wouldn't have a problem with him at the right price, Wings fans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Datsyerberger 279 Report post Posted June 29, 2011 Actually, they do. Can be fined, lose draft picks, or lose contracts, if they don't. Not quite. It's a more complex issue than I previously stated. It's more accurate to say that the NHL wouldn't take any disciplinary actions unless a team was blatantly and with obvious intent violating the cap floor. If a team meets all reasonable expectations in trying to reach the floor and does not for some reason, or dips under due to lack of fulfillment of bonuses, the NHL may not respond to it to the same way. Dipping under the floor is a much more subjective situation than being over the cap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krayzie_Bone 58 Report post Posted June 29, 2011 Ehrhoff is really good but I think a better option would be getting Wis.....ski and Scott Hannon. Ehroff will probably cost to much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lookalive07 251 Report post Posted June 29, 2011 I'd have to hope that Holland can pry either Ehrhoff or Wizniewski away from NYI and CBJ respectively and find someone else to solidify our D. IMO we got hit the worst out of any team this year in terms of Defense when Rafalski retired and I kind of expected Holland to make some moves, and aggressive ones at that. Nothing so far, and that scares me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
