    Exactly 40-30-70 first line Centers don't grow on trees, as we can all attest. Instantly adds 10-15 points for Nash.

    Only downside is he is signed until like 2023 or something ridiculous.

    My buddy who's a Flyers fan is PISSED about the Richards trade.

    Just looked it up, Carter signed an 11-year deal in November of last year so he's signed through I think the 2021/2022 season, meaning until he's 37 years old. Gotta hope we get 7 good years from 26-33 out of him.

    Jacked up though now, I bet Rick Nash just

    Carter is a shooter, not a setup guy. But it will take a lot of pressure off Nash.

    Bryzgalov deal done. 9 years, $51 million.

    Holmgren is nuts.

    Just hope Carter buys into this - he was gunning for a major market team, which we are not. We don't need another Adam Foote debacle.

    I don't know what to say about the Richards trade.

    Rumor has it that, there were locker room issues between him Pronger.

    Those locker room rumors have been going on for years.

    True.

    I think the biggest factor was that the locker room probably looked up to Pronger more as a captain rather than Richards.

    Heard Richards wasn't a great captain. He would pull a randy moss and disappear for games on end

    Good deal for Toronto

    Eric Brewer re-signed with Tampa Bay 4yr/16mil deal.

    Howson said he had a deal going for the CBJ's 2nd rounder, bit it fell through this morning. Me thinks it could have been this JML deal.

    RDS in Canada is reporting another CBJ/PHI deal is in the works.

    Versteeg? Wouldn't really make sense for CBJ I don't think...

    Would've liked JML.
  • End of Line
    Versteeg would be a lateral move.

    There's really no need for him and he makes too much.

    I would much rather see GMSH re-sign Upshall.

    Rumor has it that Philly is trying to trade up into the top 3 of the draft.

    There's rumblings that Brian Campbell (Chicago) has been traded to Columbus.
  • gorocks99
    Campbell is a bit older, but I like him. Good assist-minded defenseman.

    However, he does have a massive contract ($7.1 mil per season, signed prior to the 08/09 season) that I don't really want to be a part of.

    Edit: Now there are reports saying Howson is shooting the rumor down.
