Free Agent Day: The Foreplay

by SamFels on Jul 1, 2009 9:59 AM CDT Comment 11 comments

So, not much non-Heatley buzz through the night. If you were the Ottawa GM, wouldn't shooting Heatley in the kneecap be a serious consideration right now? You ask for a trade publicly with your anvil of a contract, and then won't go where we've negotiated a pretty fair haul? Jerk.

Anyway, it all kicks off at 11 Central, and this will probably work like it did Deadline Day, where I constantly update posts, and you'll have to refresh. But believe me, it's totally worth hitting that button to read my ever-so pithy comments about the goofs on TSN or complaints on missing the All 90's Last Letter Game on Q101.

"But I should have known, that you were the devil...."

10:25 - Word is the twins have re-signed with the Canucks at $6.1 M for 5 years. Toronto says they never wanted those creepy bastards anyway...

10:38: It's official, The Children of The Corn are staying at GM Place, and we can look forward to another playoff disappearance from them for years to come.

10:57: If you're hearing rumors about Khabby getting a two-year deal, don't believe them. They're from a fake twitter account - oh, the joys of the internet.

Isn't every Last Letter Game on Q101 the All-90s Edition?

TFP

thefourthperiod.com just posted that the sticking point with the Hawks signing JHC is length of contract – which isn’t news – its been bantered about that the Hawks only offered a 1 year deal and JHC would like a longer deal. Can’t say that I blame him (JHC) ..
COME ON! Tallon! don’t be a complete Tool-Bag and pass on this .. sign him now, sign him now, sign him now!!!!!!!!!!!
What say you in Second City Hockey Land??

Anything long term

has to have an amazingly low cap hit so the big 3 can get signed next year.

I don't care

what it takes. SIGN MARTY. the timing of the goalie situation is a little strange when the main priority should be havlat.

As much as I Love Marty

And I do, a long term contract at the expense of losing out on one of the Big 3 next year isn’t what I want to see.

I Agree

We can’t let them test the market. We need to get them on long term, and ASAP. I see Kane being the toughest one to get on board, looking to make butt loads of money. But it would be a horrible day to be a Hawk fan if they can’t get Toews back… Those kind of guys dont just happen to fall into your lap every day…
