Richards is coming to the Hawks obviously.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I'd have rather had the Bruins not make any moves at all than sign Pouliot. He's not bad for the money but he's still got that Montreal stench on him which I absolutely hate. A rookie player could have been just as productive as he will probably be.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I don't think a 2 year $7 million deal for Ryder is bad at all. I wouldn't have been opposed to the Bruins bringing him back for that.

holy shit Fla. Fleischmann 4.5 cap hit

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Cap floor.

Man, I wish the Avs coulda kept him.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I'm not sure how I feel about Leino, they probably overpaid by a bit but at the same time got one of the better offensive players available. The word right now is that they will try to play him at center. Philly fans, can Leino play center well? Did he at all in Philly?

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Holy crap. Avs sign Giguere to 2 year deal. Potentially a pretty good tandem backing up Varly.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

He's an awesome addition. I wanted the Pens to go after him, but couldnt at that price. You have to be pumped with your new ownership. Great day for the Sabres.

In Pittsburgh, the hate is at an all time level. Jagr, is the most hated athlete ever. I didn't think my hatred for the Flyers could grow. Today it did.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

So apparently Wiz said on the NHL Network that he wouldn't sign with Detroit because they don't pay players their market value. Yeah all they do is win. Nice to see what motivates him.

edit: Carcillo signs with the Hawks....k. Enjoy that one.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

well, with him and burrish........... it should be an interesting season for the hawks. entertaining to say the least

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Carcillo......Why??????

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

They want to be looked at like douches?

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

that is the only thing I can think of.....horrible horrible idea.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

umm....Carcillo?

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Don't worry...I'm not gonna do what everyone thinks I'm gonna do...and FLIP OUT MAN...






DAN FUCKING CARCILLO?!?!?! I'm gonna be a Panthers fan this year.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

:lol :lol :lol :lol

have fun

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

So much for not being a dirty team.....

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Seriously, there is no upside to Carcillo.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Good idea with 1/3 the cup team there. the other 1/3 in Winnipeg so theres that.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Scott-Mayers-Carcillo is quite a fourth line. Any game against the Canucks or Blues should be interesting.

So I don't get this signing at all. I'm all for signing a pest and getting some energy, but Carcillo is a moron. We have 21 guys under contract now including Smith and Kruger. That's basically a full team, you could probably get one more. Well, we have 3 rfa's. What the hell are we doing with them? 3 rfa's who have value. are we trading them? Sending Smith to the minors again, because that's the wrong thing to do, he deserves to be in the NHL next season. It's going to be interesting to see what they do.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Ummmmmmmmmmm

WHAT THE HELL.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I quit. Quit.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

the one thing I am excited for is this: http://youtu.be/0yPs_R6AaTA

You take a run at one of our guys, and you're getting your ass beat. That NEVER happened last season.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

So if you can't beat Vancouver's dirty play, join 'em right?

Sharks were predictably quiet for most of the day but Handzus is a good signing I think.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

One guy does not make us nearly as dirty as Vancouver. He may not even make the team because Bowman says he wants to resign all the RFA's, and then have everything work itself out at camp.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I know, just givin' ya shit. :D

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

:lol

I'm going to dread him making the team, because I know people will continue to try to grind my gears by saying stuff like that

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Thank god Carcillo is done. Enjoy "Carbomb" who more of a trainwreck on the ice.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Well with the rationale of this thread and general NHL fans, you employ a dirty player, therefore your team is a dirty team.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Carcillo was just on WGN radio, the Blackhawks radio station. The guy on the air basically just declared him the greatest signing in Blackhawks history
