2009 NHL Draft/FA thread

No team will go far with Connolly as a first line center. He’s too much of a pussy. A decent checking line will eat that first line alive physically.

Sabres drafted right winger Zack Kassian He has 24 goals 39 assists 136 min in the box with an average of 2 minutes in the box a night His favorite team is the maple leafs

Im stoked with our draft pick, big kid with a scoring touch. just what we need.

I have that feeling too, the sabres games will only be something to watch on tv while the time goes by. No real excitement. I also have a feeling the Bills won’t do much either, blame it on me but even with the easy schedule i didn’t think they were gonna do any good last season and yeah i know it was tough in the AFC east but they still would of failed. ITS BUFFALO!!

But hey Johnny Flynn getting drafted is nice for WNY, but i doubt hes gonna come back, shoot i probably wouldn’t either.

Obviously if the :uhh: didn’t give away my sarcasm, I don’t know what will.

However, the fact that you think Stafford is worth 3m makes me think that YOU should stick to YOUR day job. He’s fucking worthless.

We will either A.) Trade him in 2 years for a 3rd round pick and a 20 goal scorer or B.) Never get around to signing him, watch him faulter in the AHL and then eventually leave to go play in a different league.

I’d love the Canucks to sign Gaborik, for the right price of course. :slight_smile:

Oh and you guys can pretty much forget about Bouwmeester. He’s been traded to Calgary

Just watch Calgary blow their cap out of the water and f it all up.

yea they already had some issues last year and that was without him there too haha

i definitely don’t think stafford is worth 3m but the gm has a huge hard on for players whom he drafted himself. i’d much prefer stafford to sign an offersheet somewhere to net us a couple first rounders. but on the open market, stafford would command that figure based on his production.

i thought you used that emoticon because you were nervous about gaborik signing with another team, sorry i took it out of context.

i hope calgary signs j-bo, that means they’ll have to dump someone off their d and they’re a pretty stacked team at that position.

ok so title changed for FA starting tomorrow.

so far few moves have obv happened …but now im seeing gomez to montreal for higgins

lol sorry jay…the higgins jersey serves no purpose anymore :stuck_out_tongue:

full trade

Montreal Canadiens General Manager Bob Gainey announced the acquisition of forward Scott Gomez along with forward Tom Pyatt and defenceman Michael Busto from the New York Rangers, in return for forward Christopher Higgins and defencemen Ryan McDonagh, Pavel Valentenko and Doug Janik.

Doug Janik on the move again

sure it does, you have no idea the back story on that jersey haha it still has a purpose :slight_smile:

yea yea yea

rangers just made room for heatley

edmonton interested in heatley…he waived his no trade clause and no possibly headed to edmonton?

also per TSN, JayBo gets a 5 year deal with flames

Heatley declined the trade. If the trade would have went thru, that would have been a win for Ottawa IMO.

And I’m lol’ing right now…on WGR they just said they read a rumor about Camalari possibly coming to either Buffalo, Toronto or Nashville :mamoru:
LOL @ Buffalo even being in a rumor about Camalari.

Edit:

other rumors are Sedin twins to Toronto, Heatley to the Rangers and Havlat possibly to the Kings. I could see the Sedin twins ending up in Toronto.

LOL @ camalari
