If retaining more cap gets us up a round then I'm all for it. ie two firsts and not a first and a second.

Look at it this way.. You put Vanek on the market at 75% of his cap. You retain 25%. That's only 1.775 million you are paying for one year. Mind you, in a year you'll have cheap forwards and can afford it cap wise. You trade him (indirectly) for support guys, veteran guys. You could probably get 2 or 3 of them at Vanek's cap space. I'm talking Ryan Clowe's and Mark Streit's. Now you've still got some 1st and 2nd round picks from the Vanek trade to use.

Hockeys Future puts Hackett as the Sabres #1 goalie prospect and Larsson as the #2 Center.

But it's on the internet!!!!

They're eligible because they're on the roster already. No Porter though.

Yeah. Hockey equipment stores always get the poop.

Wild would need to shed a few dollars off their cap to take Pommers. Brassard, Dorsett and John Moore for Gaborik

Carolina is retaining some of the salary too.

Rumors are that, internally, Timmy Ho's is responsible for the Sabres slide. Pegula has his blinders on.

Easy. Tim Hortons is a sponsor. Coffee is free. So are the small cups.

Jokinen to the Pittsburgh Penguins

Who the hell tells Schopp anything?

Kassian sent down because he was out partying.

Scott Hannan from Nashville to SJ Sharks

The Jets are shopping Alexander Burmistrov. He could move today. Six teams have called on Ben Bishop. Lots of interest. The Hurricanes will try to move Jussi Jokinen today. He cleared waivers once. Lots of interest in Bishop: PHI, EDM, CAR and TBAY have all inquired. Sens would like a player and pick in return. Several teams trying to add defencemen: Boston and New York Rangers among them. A guy to keep an eye on today is Philadelphia's Ruslan Fedotenko he is a strong playoff performer. Look for the Anaheim Ducks to try to be active. They could make a play for Jason Pominville in Buffalo. Several teams there. Miikka Kiprusoff will likely make a decision on what he's to do later this morning. The option to go to the Leafs is there. The Columbus Blue Jackets have been shopping one of their three No. 1 picks to try to bulk up for the playoffs. Three players to watch tomorrow: Jason Pominville BUF Drew Stafford BUF Raffi Torres PHX Let's see Bruce.

Is this the "it's all the fans fault" article or the "wah wah wah Terry won't talk to us" article?

He actually had six. The one that hit the post doesn't count.

###### off Bruce.

Squirrel meet nut. Hello nut.

SJ is giving the NYR's a second round pick?

But really, who cares.

I predict a bunch of Twitter feeds will be copied and pasted instead of real comments.

Yeah he waived his NTC but they still have to get the deal done.

If Darcy wasn't able to get the 2013 2nd round pick because the Kings didn't have a 1st round pick and sure as hell weren't giving up the 2nd in 2013 because of it so Darcy said well then, give me 2014 second round pick and 2015 2nd round pick and we'll call it even. (breathes) Two seconds are better than one even if you have to wait a year.
