Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
There aren't too many teams looking for franchise goalies this summer. I think that the two sides realize this, and a deal will get done in the 30-40 million range.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
To Ant's post, I agree. It's getting to the point where teams are pretty content with their goalies, due to all the talent in the league right now.
Because I'm bored at work (;)), here's how it's looking. Not too many question marks: Anaheim: Hiller Boston: Thomas Buffalo: Miller Calgary: Kiprusoff Carolina: Ward Chicago: Crawford Columbus: Mason Colorado: Elliott Dallas: Lehtonen Detroit: Howard Edmonton: Khabibulin Florida: ??? (Clemmenson) Los Angeles: Quick Minnesota: Fernandez Montreal: Price Nashville: Rinne New Jersey: Brodeur NYI: DiPietro (:lol more like Montoya) NYR: Lundqvist Ottawa: Anderson Philadelphia: ??? (Bobrovsky) Phoenix: ??? (LaBarbera) Pittsburgh: Fleury San Jose: Niemi St. Louis: Halak Tampa Bay: Roloson (Smith if he retires) Toronto: ??? (Reimer/Gustavsson) Vancouver: Luongo Washington: ??? (Neuvirth, Varlamov) Winnipeg: Pavelec |

I think Backstrom is the guy in Minnesota. Unless he's a free agent which he could be because I have no idea.

There are rumors here that CBJ might go after Tuuka Rask

If CBJ traded Nash they might as well just move the team to Hartford the same day. He's the only reason worth going to watch them play. He also loves playing here for some reason - no pressure maybe

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
Honestly, I don't know how the Flyers can possibly take a cap hit of $6mil or more right now with the cap space that they don't have. I mean, Bob was so solid during the regular season, especially for a rookie. Yeah, he had a rough playoffs, but I don't think 6 starts in the playoffs without success means he can't be a great goalie in the regular season and playoffs. Yeah, last year Niemi was a rookie and played well in the playoffs, but he was much older than Bobrovsky is. I just think Philly has a really solid G already. I know that great goalies can take teams on playoff runs, but depth is what wins the Cup. I don't think you sacrifice depth for a goalie.

Flyers beat reporter also stated the Bob might be on the trade market, technically makes sense because of his cap hit--but something I do not like one bit. |

Bob McKenzie just tweeted that the Flyers told him they are not looking into trading Carter.

Judging by that list, I'd say teams that would have interest (other than Philly) would be Colorado, Columbus and Toronto. |

I think he's going to get about 6 million. Boosh and Leighton will be gone which will free up roughly 2.5 million Zherdev will be gone which will free up 2 million. I think Leino will be gone which will free up almost 1 million I wouldn't be surprised if the Flyers end up trading Carter to dump some of his salary and pick up some role players in exchange for depth. I will not be shedding a single tear if they have to part ways with ol' frosted tips |
Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
One year ago today (6/9/10) the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup and it became not just the greatest night of my life, but the greatest summer of my life. I really think the Hawks had a shot at it this year, and I feel like we missed it by the few inches that Sharp missed his shot by. We'll contend next year, and hopefully a year from today I can do it all again.
Happy Anniversary Hawks fans!!! |

Colorado seems content to go with Elliott. I'm on the fence for this one... I know they're trying to put together a young roster that can grow together, but I guess my anxiety just comes his inexperience. His stats won't show, but Elliott played pretty well in front of a really bad Colorado defense for the last half of last season, but how he will do as a full-time starter is another thing altogether, and that makes me nervous. |
