Sounds like the Blues are dodging the Pronger bullet. They insisted on Oshie which just isn't ever going to happen.

Brian Burke just flatout said that he was trading Dom Moore and Nik Antropov today. Fantastic.

[NewUserName]

That kind of ties his hands, he just lowered their trade value.

i don't think so. everyone else trading for either one knows it too. they were both held out of their game last night, so them being on the block is not news to anyone.

lol

 

Tim Connolly walked out of HSBC Arena earlier, which led the TSN analysts to agree that he was on the move. Then they said that the skate he walked out of was optional.

 

He just signed a contract extension.

this is true, but if not being traded is an option, that creates more of a market.

 

I think Pronger isnt really off the market. I think anaheim is just increasing his value. They are willing to keep him since he has one more year on his contract, but my guess is that they would trade him in a heartbeat if the right deal presented itself.

 

A lot of talk about the Wings getting Moore, I dont get it myself. I think the Wings have several in house options just as good.

i don't buy it. ken holland doesn't usually buy into the hype machine over a completely mediocre player. he'll maybe make a more low key guy (like Stuart last year), he wouldn't go after someone like Moore, where Toronto has been trying to hype him and he's overvalued right now.

It may just be message board hype. You are right about Holland to a degree. They are pretty cap tight also. So either Holmstrom will be out longer than expected or they would have to trade someone of close to equal salary.

Columbus also cleared up Cap room by moving LeClair for Vermette....This could end up being a great move for Columbus.

yeah i really like it for them, especially if vermette finally figures it out on offense.

what a self-centered dink

[Drew Doughty]

sounds like Olli Jokinen might be heading to Calgary.

[Drew Doughty]

Jordan Leopold actually to Calgary.

 

eta: Montreal 2nd rounder, prospect Ryan Wilson, and Lawerence Nycholat to Colorado.

 

Andy Wozniewski to Pittsburgh for Danny Richmond.

 

eta2: Mikael Tellqvist to Buffalo. didn't feel this one warranted a new post lol. Toronto claimed Martin Gerber and Erik Reitz. Dallas claimed Brendan Morrison. Pittsburgh claimed Craig Adams.

Nothing too earth shattering so far. Leopold is nice defensive depth. I thought Morrison may be a guy that Columbus would pick up.

its contracts like his, that is going to make someone like Franzen a very rich man.

[Drew Doughty]

Petteri Nokelainen to Anaheim for Steve Montador

 

Jokinen (unofficially) to Calgary for Brandon Prust, Matthew Lombardi, and a 1st round pick. The speculation is that Calgary has another deal in place to clear up my cap space.

[Cynosure]

Haha Anze you're on top of your stuff today. You take a sick day?

Tampa sends Mark Recchi to the Bruins.

 

Erik Ersberg 2 year contract extension.

[Drew Doughty]

Peter Forsberg to retire tonight.

 

eta: nevermind. false report.

 

Guerin to the Penguins sounds like a done deal.

[Cynosure]

Hawks pursuing Pahlsson... WTF????

Pahlsson's a good player, a lot better than Moore.

[NewUserName]

I know Anaheim has to clear up some cap room, but trading Pahlsson?

[NewUserName]

Antropov to Rangers

 

Caricillo to Flyers

 

Guerin to Penguins
