According to Sportsnet's tracker, Mark Streit has signed with the islanders for 5 years at $4.1 million per year.

That sound you hear is buddhist furiously masturbating.

^^^.

On the heels of signing Prospal, Roberts and Malone today the Lightning have also decided to unveil their new logo that will hit the ice this season. It's a tribute to their illustrious coach, Barry Melrose. The logo was unveiled at a press conference late this evening and, sadly, Barry did not dye his hair blue, white and black to go along with it. We can only hope.

Already, the influence of the logo is being felt throughout the Tampa community. The many encouraging moves made by the team this off-season have sparked interest from their fans and this one is no different. At this hour, fans are fully embracing it by going to NASCAR races, trying out for the television show 'Cops', buying Pabst Blue Ribbon, listening to the song 'Sweet Home Alabama' on repeat, letting their cars rust in their front yard, letting their cars rust in their backyard, going shirtless to work, and giving birth to twenty children prior to the age of fifteen.

what's 7 x 7million?

It isn't 31 million.

Tanking incremental increases into account, he's probably on 3.5m - 4m for next year. Would you sign Malone for that much?

Actually, it's front loaded. 8 million the first year, 7 the second. Pretty clever, actually, because of how the cap works. They'll be paying him 8 mill, but the cap 'hit' work on the average amount of money per term. In this case, 4.5 million. Later on in the deal when he'll only be making 2 million but still 'hitting' them for the 4.5, they can buy him out.

Buy outs work by figuring the amount of money REMAINING in the term. So they'd be able to buy out a 4.5 million dollar hit by only paying him, say, 1.3 over two year, or 650,000 each year for two years.

Still, it's difficult to believe that such a mediocre player is going to make 8 million dollars.

If it were me, I would have put Raycroft to the minors. That way, if nobody took him, they wouldn't have to have his salary count towards the cap.

Uh, they're buying him out. You have to place a player on waivers before you're allowed to buy him out. I think they'll owe 1/3 of raycroft's contract over the next two years. tis decent.

Ducks owners got suspended indefinitely by the league. Some other guy will be taking the helm. I don't really understand how this works as far as financing the club is concerned, since the owners (the bankroll) are to have nothing to do with the function of the club. Ah well, hopefully it works itself out.

That or the ducks get moved to winnipeg D:

that's a terrible idea

Ducks got some tiny defenseman that's one of the best skaters in the entire draft. Probably have to wait a while to see him, though. negro's goin' to college.

When will the samoan tyranny of your parents end?

when?

Probably like 6 years because you're twelve. Olol.

first of all, the whole trading down thing is arguably not a great move; taking josh bailey was worse since he's considered a checking-line/PK-line kind of guy, and not a pure scorer like Filatov. I dunno why they would pass on Nikita...fucking asdkfjdsf. v_v

also, Chris Mason to the Blues...does that make him the backup, or do you think that they'll actually have a battle for the starter's job with Legace?

Prospal back to TB; maybe he'll stay now that they got Stamkos.

welllll. Isles got those other picks, too. Pretty much everyone in the top 15 is a surefire NHLer anyways.

Also, with mason, he'll be the backup. Sorta. 50/32 split is what the word is. But lord knows as soon as they implement the new goal pad standards legace's value is going to plummet. It'll keep a midget like him from wearing the tallest available pads each game. I mean really, they go up to his tits.

Vinny only got ran out of town because torterella shit on his dick so often. Vinny Propro loves Lecav and Marty St Lou. I just hope they get him on a one year deal, because I've never seen a player rock so hard in contract years.

THE CAMEL.

Mehhh on calgary. Essentially, dealt:
17th pick, Tangs

For:

25th pick, Cammy. (and cam's contract which is 2 mil cheaper than that of tangs)

it's bleh. Holy shit montreal, though. Adding Tanguay to their top six is going to be frightening. Doubly so if they can sign sundin.

Yotes trade:
Ballard
Boynton
Pick

For:
OLLI 'YOU MUST BE' JOKINEN

I sorta like it. Fixes the terrible panther defense (Ballard gives me serious wood) and allows hot prospect Matthias to step into the center hole. Phoenix gets all the more dangerous. Their offense is going to be absolutely disgusting in a few years.

Turris, Mueller, Doan, Hanzal, Doan, Olli, Vrbata(perhaps).

Ducks traded the 12th pick for the 17th and 28th. Flipped the 28th pick for the 35th and 39th.
I'm a fan of the move. The ducks don't need one home run prospect, their needs are more along the line of restocking the pipeline. Especially since second rounder Bryce Swan told them to go f a goat.

Also Emery + Cloutier on waivers, likely to be bought out. Bout time.

Nabokov was the best!

uh... no, no he wasn't. He played a lot of games for a team with excellent team defense, that's it. His play wasn't special or spectacular. He faced very few shots a game and put up a poor save percentage.

my top goalies for last season based on #'s and intangibles and shit:\
1. Lundy. crappy defense, poor shut down line, toughest division in hockey.
2. Jigs. He missed a lot of time, so I was surprised he got as many vezina votes as he did. Played w/o Nieds for half a year, schnieder was injured for several games, pronger stomped his way out of 8 games. not to mention pahlsson missed all that time. 2nd best goals against, third best save percentage.
3. Brods. put up his best season to date with the worst defense that's ever been in front of him. played in the toughest division.
4. Bryzgalov. Posted a .921 save percentage playing for the coyotes.
5. Vokoun. Without him the panthers win 8 games.

Parros damaged it last year, old man Chelios this year.

what's new.

Also thank GOD nabs didn't win the vezina. He wasn't even the best goaltender in his own division, let alone the league.

Yeah... piracy's not good. Take some time off and mull that over.

Then you have to buy the actual game, that's another £40.
