you are right, we are far, but with gaborik, and add a kovulchuk and we are at about 260-270 goals in a season, that is near the top of the league

Granted we have one less Gomer and one more Gaborik. But I think we are far more removed from the Cup then the addition of one Kovalchuk. In a few years if we see one or 2 defencive prospects and a forward or 2 blossom into stars, then were talking.

good plan, with kovulchuck on this team we can burry the devils and make a very good run at the penguins to win the division and if we can beat the penguins thats like a ticket to the cup

I say we hold pat, unless we can get heatly in a trade, we should stay put and wait till ATL falls off the face of the earth, and make a push for kovulchuk and the stanley cup

Just a little something to get us acquainted with our new top scorer.

Rich, I think the Heatley deal was something like Dubinsky, Rozsival and probably Sanguinetti, or a defensive prospect. But Slats said Dubi, Cally, Staal and Hank were off limits. It’s going to be a roundabout game with Heatly and the Sens. There’s one team willing to take him, and he dosen’t go. So it’s stay or be miserable or go and be miserable.

what do you guys think the offer to ottawa was? dubi, rozi, and a prospect?

By: Plebeian

Plebeian — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 18:57:48 +0000

Uh, no. But I always assumed that was the case. I just didn’t know why it never happened at home.

Not a huge deal. It wont stop me from posting. I just may sound like an idiot from time to times (insert joke here)

Plebeian that’s strange. When you write it from work does something come up saying that your comment is in moderation?

By: Plebeian

Plebeian — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 18:31:29 +0000

Hey Steve & Eric,

When I comment from home, the comment appears right away, but when I comment at work, I have to wait about 20-30 minutes before my comment appears. (which is why I sound like an idiot talking about how Antropov is signed after everyone else was already done talking about it) Do you guys know why that is?

Haha I was totally gonna say that

Steve, you can sleep soundly for one more year- Jason Strudwick re-signed in Edmonton.

By: MIke G

MIke G — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 17:11:46 +0000

Wow, you can keep your RFA’s and still have cash on hand… lets see how Sather blows it this time.

By: Steven Gelbs

Steven Gelbs — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 17:02:41 +0000

Mike, it depends on what the RFA’s who were qualified end up getting, but right now they could theoretically have as much as $14-$15 million left to spend. They’re in very good shape.

Whats the cap wiggle room left at this point?

By: sully

sully — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 16:53:53 +0000

i wouldnt want another defenseman i say we should let mara go we have an overflow of defense in the system give the last 2 spots to del zotto, sanguinetti, or gilroy

By: Scummy

What about Mara? We should just lock Dubi Cally Mara and maybe Scuderi or Zubov? Also Tanguay would be sweet.

By: Plebeian

Plebeian — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 16:32:18 +0000

Poopie,…Antropov recently signed for 4 years @ 4 million per with Atlanta. I’m kinda upset we couldn’t offer that deal to him…Seems fair to me.

By: Plebeian

Plebeian — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 16:21:51 +0000

I love the signing don’t get me wrong, but isn’t that what everyone said about Gomez? Everyone claimed that he was hampered by a defensive system in Jersey and his offence would blossom like a flower in New York. Eh, I wasn’t impressed with how that turned out.

Perhaps what we see is what we get with Gaborik (and that’s just fine with me) lets not project his scoring to skyrocket because his zip code changed…that way we will be pleasantly surprised if it does.

Also, Anthropov to Atlanta… I’m wondering whats going to happen with Bets, Calli & Dubi…

Sad to see the Shoe man & Orr go too…

Our PK will be worse, I dont care what anyone says.
