apuszczalowski Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 Rolston going to free agency. Don't know if it was posted already or not but here it is. Link Darcy must be licking his lips right now. Why? Did he just see his waiter on his way from the kitchen with his breakfast?
Buffalo Wings Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 just saw this... Not official yet I don't think... but malkin might be signed,http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/news?slug=txpe...t&type=lgns I thought I heard somewhere that Malkin was seriously considering going back to his league in Russia. I guess the Pens blew him away with this.... <_<
frisky Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 Kyle Wellwood in Vancouver. Is he a re-signing? I thought he was with Toronto last year.
chileanseabass Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 according to the st. pete times, kolzig will sign with tampa http://blogs.tampabay.com/lightning/2008/0...days-final.html and they've also contacted sundin. he's a long shot, but he's good friends with gary roberts.
apuszczalowski Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 Anyone have a link for audio feed from TSN? I must be too tired to locate it on their page. Thanks! Why? are you interested in watching Wimbeldon? They don't have anything gone on right now with hockey there, they are showing tennis. The website will be updating everything for now

Wow....it's as if they have all this money & cap room. :blink:
apuszczalowski Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 Nooo...pretty sure it was days later. it was days later. FA started on the weekend (Saturday I believe) last year, and I was at work when it was offered (I think it was mid week) and i don't work on weekends so it was definitly a weekday that it happened
Goodfella25 Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 Minnesota gets defenseman Marek Zidlicky from Nashville...http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=242174&...s=headlines_nhl Would have helped OUR PP...
apuszczalowski Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 5 for $25 Like always. thats Arby's, and the reports say that he was at MacDonalds

X. Benedict Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 Why? are you interested in watching Wimbeldon? They don't have anything gone on right now with hockey there, they are showing tennis. The website will be updating everything for now Most of the hotties are out. It has been a poor Wimbledon.
shrader Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 I thought I heard somewhere that Malkin was seriously considering going back to his league in Russia. I guess the Pens blew him away with this.... <_< The Russian teams are saturating the media with all these stories of how they're offering this guy $x and that guy $y. They want the players to think they're a serious option, but that doesn't mean any of the so called offers were ever even considered.
ROC Sabres Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 If anyone knows Darcy's number tell him I'll give him 100 bucks just to make up a rumor that they are going after someone. So bored right now.

They want the players to think they're a serious option, but that doesn't mean any of the so called offers were ever even considered. According to TSN reports Omsk from the Russian league offered Jagr 3 years, $35M but his first choice is playing in the NHL.
TM8-PL16 Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 Pens re-signed Mark Eaton... 2 yrs for 2 million total
jrsarkov Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 someone call darcy and remind him UFA started at12 noon EDST, not noon PST
SabresFan526 Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 This has been a somewhat uneventful UFA day. Specifically, only two major signings I can tell are Vrbata in Tampa and Brunette to Minnesota. Surprisingly a ton of trades taking place today, which I would not have expected on the first day of free agency. Given all the trade action, I'm surprised Darcy is not in the thick of things as he prefers to make trades than sign free agents anyway. Very strange day so far.

We'll just have to wait and see.
ROC Sabres Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 He very well may be. We'll just have to wait and see. It still does amaze me how some teams just say "He's a good player, lets get him" pick up the phone, hey, wanna play for us and make decent money, "NO SH1T I DO!!" and have him signed 10 minutes later.
wjag Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 WOW.. Breaking news on CAMPBELL... He's lasted 2:20 minutes already.. AP: Sabres have changed the oil in the Zamboni.
spndnchz Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 Wow....it's as if they have all this money & cap room. :blink: Tampa's just under 9 million to the cap, with 12 or 13 UFA's RFA's to deal with.
wjag Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 Tampa's just under 9 million to the cap, with 12 or 13 UFA's RFA's to deal with. Makes you wonder how the hell they are going to pull this off..
BetweenThePipes00 Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 So ... is it slow going so far because guys are getting so many great offers they are playing them against each other and driving the prices up even more than usual ... or are the teams controling themselves and not bringing out their absolute best offers yet?
jrsarkov Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 darcy has told other GMs not to deal because the "player" wants too long of a "term."
