FLYERS LIKELY WILL BE $AVED FROM OWN STUPIDITY – New York Post

By
July 12, 2009

Philadelphia likely will never suffer the consequences for the massive blunder in which management agreed to pay $33.4 million of the total $34.9 million within the first five years of the extension. And thus would be on the hook for a $4.921 million cap hit in 2015-16 and 2016-17, even with the defenseman in...

From Forum answers VII – Inside the Kings: Linking to my own comment so I can remember where I made it when I turn out to be totally wrong; feel free to ignore

By

[the question put to the peanut gallery is: if the cap is supposed to come down hard next year, won't the league do something to stop all these teams from having to dump salary to get under the cap, like maybe decide to keep the cap up anyway, or create some new loophole whereby...

HockeyBuzz.com – Matthew Barry – KINGS FANS NEED TO CALM THE HELL DOWN

By
July 1, 2009

Several teams have left themselves ripe for raiding: How does Chicago pay for Kane and Towes and Keith who are RFA’s next year, not to mention Versteeg and Seabrook? Who does Calgary dump? 40 million for just 8 players? The Rangers have 40 million committed to just 15 players, I’m still trying to figure...

In light of today’s events, I looked up my old post: Can you afford to sign Hossa?

Let’s organize this by “contenders, “Stocks rising,” “Stocks falling” and “rebuilders.” Contenders: Detroit —...

From Sportsnet.ca: A trade rumor I want to say is idiotic but is probably just … well, I hope it doesn’t happen. Not for Simmonds anyway.

Meanwhile, 300 km up Highway 2, rumours persist that Edmonton GM Steve Tambellini is shopping one of his four offensive defenceman in an attempt to kickstart the rebuild in Edmonton. We’re hearing Sheldon Souray to Los Angeles — where his children live with his ex-wife, a long distance relationship that Souray has found taxing through...

From (the great) Matthew Barry: I Loved All The Things That DIDN’T Happen!

By
June 26, 2009

1) Tavares – So Dreger and the Union Leader and almost everyone else on XM204 was saying Duchene was going first – THAT didn’t happen and it didn’t seem like there was ever any doubt it was Tavares. Dreger  – so plugged in, and yet… 2) Brian Burke’s failure to move up – yes,...

From Oilers Nation: Has Chris Pronger Been Traded to L.A.?

By
June 12, 2009

Has Chris Pronger been traded to the Los Angeles Kings for Jack Johnson and the 5th overall draft pick. I’ve been updating this situation since Andy Strickland first broke the story, and at this point it’s an awfully tangled web, so I thought that it might be a good idea to list the two sides...

From Al Strachan: Lightning Rod

By
June 4, 2009

Al Strachan repackages the same old rumors; but at least he can write coherently. My comments are in brackets. The rumors regarding Vincent Lecavalier refuse to go away.  Tampa Bay Lightning GM Brian Lawton insists that he has had no trade talks regarding Lecavalier and that he has...

Bozo Weighs in @ Oilers Nation

By
May 19, 2009

From commenter Bozo : All I’m saying is, not naming your sources is one thing but making a claim that’s so wishy washy that it could never be shown to be wrong is bad form. It makes Dreger look like he’s guilty even if he isn’t. And it makes me a...

OilersNation.com: some Bozo blogger thinks Darren Dreger of TSN might be pulling NHL trade rumours out of his *ss and making things up

By
May 19, 2009

So, some Bozo blogger thinks Darren Dreger of TSN might be pulling NHL trade rumours out of his ass and making things up, eh? Dreger’s inquisitor on a website known as Kings Kool-Aid calls himself “qwisp,” which may or may not be a version of his real name. That doesn’t matter, even though the thought...
