If you hate Helen St. James as much as I do,

Wait, are you talking about the Helen "President of the Dan Cleary Fan Club" St. James?

If so, then yes I hate her as much as you do.

What on earth are we supposed to do with Santorelli??

And how do I post tweets so they show up automatically?

it's eklund... i wouldn't read too much into it.

and as far as posting tweets go, I usually just copy and paste.

As of last night, Toronto among the interested teams awaiting word from David Legwand following contract offer.

Good, I hope he leaves. With Weiss returning and Legwand showing no ability to play on a lower line, bringing him back could turn into a disaster.

[Hockeymom1960 5,107]

I full expect Weiss to be hurt again this season so I'm not excited at all in him returning.

[Datsyukian-Deke 722]

Mrazek's contract for 2015-2016 is a one way deal. Nothing surprising there. We knew was in line to be the back-up.

Why? That's a little pessimistic. Weiss had a freak year because he pushed himself to be ready. It's all stemming from one injury. He has had lots of time to recover and I don't think he's particular injury prone. I think he stands as much a chance as anyone to be healthy this year.

I predict week-long-plus injuries to Datsyuk, Ericsson, Kronwall, Helm and Franzen, but not Weiss.

Funny we were all super disappointed we didn't land him last year and now Philly has to beg people to take him. I think Niskanen is going to be a similar story. Edited July 3, 2014 by Datsyukian-Deke

So would that prove that our GM is even worse than we fear, seeing as how he offered Niskanen a big contract?

It's ok we we got Quincey for two years an 4+m a year....clearly we got the better guy!

I know eh.

Legwand was clearly the better defencemen of the two.

Holland's such a moron for letting him go.

So we officially spent a 2nd rounder and Jarnkrok on a rental...good work Kenny!

[dirtydangles 1,328]

Holland said before the deadline that he would not move our young talent for a rental. Its official - he lied. I wish he would at least admit that he made a misjudgement there.

Yup great logic by the way.

Officially spend a 2nd rounder and Jarnkrok on keeping the streak alive.

Not saying I agree with the move. Stating a fact.

At what point do we start caring less about the streak and more about winning a Stanley Cup?

[DatsyukianDekes 2,428]

To be fair your argument makes no sense.

You are comparing Quincey signing to Legwand signing and they don't even play the same position, not to mention we don't need anymore centers especially ones that won't be utilized correctly (Babcock putting him on 4th line in the playoffs )

[anthonyn66 89]

Solid signing by Ottawa...

My argument is look at out lack of center depth and question marks...legwand on a one or two year deal would've been good.

Whereas defense where our question marks elite defense? Quincey isn't. Right handed defenseman? Quincey isn't. Depth defenseman? Quincey is but well would you rather have Quincey or marchenko? Or sproul? Or oullete? Etc etc

At center right now we got dat Weiss Sheahan and helm. Helm and dat have some injury issues. Weiss is the biggest question mark in this team. Can he stay healthy? If so, can he be a number two center again?

After those four we got z and glen. Z also has injury issues and is better to be at wing and glen is a fourth liner. Anderson is also a fourth liner.

The reason why legwand makes the most sense of any of our UFAs is because he is a cheaper insurance policy for injuries which WILL happen and for if Weiss can't live up to his contract. If they do....then put legwand at wing hell he had 50+ points.

So yes comparing legwand to Quincey in terms of ho is a bigger need an cost is quite easy...if you think.
