DRIFTER_016 Posted July 4, 2012 Report Posted July 4, 2012 Looks like the Minnesota Wild just got a lot stronger as they have agreements in place with both Suter and Parise!! Free Agent Signing
kickingfrog Posted July 4, 2012 Report Posted July 4, 2012 That's big for the Wild. Looks like they got matching deals.
BillM Posted July 4, 2012 Report Posted July 4, 2012 I can't believe NJ would let Parise go... That's one move I would have bet against.
kickingfrog Posted July 4, 2012 Report Posted July 4, 2012 The devils have serious cash flow problems.
jedimaster Posted July 4, 2012 Report Posted July 4, 2012 Burke better start picking up something.... nash...???
kickingfrog Posted July 4, 2012 Report Posted July 4, 2012 How high are the expectations now in Minny?
misfish Posted July 4, 2012 Report Posted July 4, 2012 Whats with Jugar getting 5 mil for one year???????????????
kickingfrog Posted July 4, 2012 Report Posted July 4, 2012 Whats with Jugar getting 5 mil for one year??????????????? The Stars not only missed the play-offs, but they didn't watch them either.
Rod Caster Posted July 4, 2012 Report Posted July 4, 2012 Also very suprised to see parise move. I would have dropped Kovy well before I got rid of parise.
jedimaster Posted July 4, 2012 Report Posted July 4, 2012 I don't minni will have much expectation this year considering they missed the playoffs by a good margin last year, but they will be looking forward to making the playoffs.
kickingfrog Posted July 4, 2012 Report Posted July 4, 2012 Also very suprised to see parise move. I would have dropped Kovy well before I got rid of parise. Parise was a UFA, he had total freedom to go where he wanted. Highest bidder or team that had the best future (in his opinion) or he could go home.
davey buoy Posted July 4, 2012 Report Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) Are you all getting the feeling nobody wants to come to Toronto?. I don't know if Burke is being cheap,or the year after year after year etc not doing anything productive.Not to mention the pressure with a losing team.Sorry guys,just on the outside looking in. Edited July 4, 2012 by davey buoy
jedimaster Posted July 4, 2012 Report Posted July 4, 2012 I think burke could have had a few free agents over the last few years, but burke hasn't wanted to pull the trigger... Richards is one I think he could have had if he had of put the term out there. I am hoping he can get a deal on luongo before the season starts as I doubt vancouver will want to have both goalies at camp. I am still holding out for nash as well.

I'd like to see something as well but won't hold my breath. I hear there's a lot of talent in the farm team..That should help us in the future(5 years?).
jedimaster Posted July 4, 2012 Report Posted July 4, 2012 There is some talent in the farm team, and cap space... Not many guys need to be re signed so I am hpoing that Nash, Luo or both can get done.

The cap changed a lot of things. Lots of teams can offer the same amount of money. The result is the player can play in a city that he can walk a block from the rink and be just another face in the crowd. The money spends the same but the anonymity is priceless.
bushart Posted July 5, 2012 Report Posted July 5, 2012 Well never mind the usual frontrunners in the east for the top 8 playoff spots you'll need to add TB lightning They got better adding Salo---now Defenceman Carle---they already got firepower up front Can't see Sens or Leafs havin an easy run to post season next year Don't forget Stall and now Corvo gone to Hurricanes
jedimaster Posted July 5, 2012 Report Posted July 5, 2012 IMO tampa is aging, I am not worried abut them. I think The Jets and Carolina will be better this year.

I don't know if Burke is being cheap,or the year after year after year etc not doing anything productive.Not to mention the pressure with a losing team.Sorry guys,just on the outside looking in. Why would anyone want to come to Toronto to play hockey under a microscope? I've had that feeling for quite some time... the Leafs are an organization that is the laughing stock of the NHL... you only had to watch the Allstar Game a couple of years ago to see evidence of that (the treatment Kessel got during the captains picks) Four newpapers, countless radio talk shows, multiple TV channels and each one has atleast one or two reporters who follow every move the team makes. It takes a special kind of athlete to survive, much less thrive in this sort of environment... most just want to play and get paid. HH
jedimaster Posted July 5, 2012 Report Posted July 5, 2012 Not to mention the attention the leafs get on the various internet forums not even related to hockey whatsoever. Most forums can't even go a week without talking about the leafs. lol
John Posted July 5, 2012 Report Posted July 5, 2012 Burke better start picking up something.... nash...??? Steve Nash may help them more........
Broker Posted July 5, 2012 Report Posted July 5, 2012 I'm hoping the habs will bounce back this year , they look good on paper to me , with the added gritty players like prust and armstrong. I wouldnt wanna play a fourth line of white moen and prust.. that new draft pick should help out there smaller fowards if he can crack the line up!

Gionta should be back Gotta find a home for Gomez They'll be tougher Never should have traded their goal scorer last year to Calgary IMO
uglyfish Posted July 5, 2012 Report Posted July 5, 2012 Burke better start picking up something.... nash...??? Nash won't be in toronto. Burke won't give up the ridiculous amount that columbus is asking for.
uglyfish Posted July 5, 2012 Report Posted July 5, 2012 How high are the expectations now in Minny? Well before the signing, cup odds were 200-1 And after, 20-1 What's that tell ya about the expectations? And toronto won't get luongo, #1, price is stupid high to get him. #2, he doesn't wanna play in toronto and has reportedly taken them off his list of teams to accept a trade too. Problem solved, go with the 2 young, good, capable goalies u have, keept ur draft picks and prospects, build on ur defense, try to replace luke schenn on the back end, hope JVR can play 82 games and contribute something and work on getting a scoring center for the top 6, and see what the kids can do
