I saw $1.2B for the Bon Jovi group.

The phony confused faces the workers make annoys me everytime i see it.

I think Rattie was the guy everyone was pushing for.

And they're only 3 months apart in age.

Will he be a restricted FA at the end of the one year?

Skinner is also two years younger than Cody.

the character issues are oversold, no issue has ever been made public other than a picture of him holding money.

Didn't this effect exist with Weber after the 07-08 season as well?

Thought this was pretty cool, Behind the Bule and Gold type video showing the James Neal trade negotiation. Http://www.thehockeynews.com/blog/get-a-behind-the-scenes-look-at-the-james-neal-trade-from-david-poiles-perspective/

I assume he wouldn't want to offer sheet him, but I don't think the Sabres have an asset that makes it worthwhile for Colorado.

I thought I recalled him saying Reinhart didn't have anything left to prove in juniors, that doesn't necessarily make him NHL ready.

Sabres carried all of the risk, likely no one made it worth their while to make the deal.

He didn't name any specific players, just that not all of their RFAs would receive qualifying offers.

Thats right, thanks

If someone claims him on waivers they're stuck with the recapture penalty all the same.

Perhaps you've graduated them from prospect status, but I'd add Pysyk, Larsson and McCabe to your list

Odd opinion of Hackett

McBain

awesome, thanks

Looking at that app I think that was only for last nights coverage, and the TSN piece you'll likely need a password from a Canadian cable provider.

My concern is he's only signed through next season. So are you better off dealing him now when the return may be better? Or waiting until the deadline to make a decision if you want him back and risk getting less in a trade or getting nothing at all if he walks in free agency.

can't retain more than 50%

After signing Ennis, Foligno Ruhwedal and Conacher and bringing up players like Larsson Ristolainen and Pysyk, they end up only like $7M under the floor. Two or three acquisitions should cover it.
