All buyouts have to occur during the normal buyout period period.

So there are two of them?



How long prior to FA is that buyout period period... if you know off the top of your head head.

Much like my local bike shop, one of those two has a giant rack.

Holmgren is in the process of targeting an over the hill, washed up dman to trade a second round pick for.

Signs point to Jovo, Ed.

We were just talking about talking a Flier on a D man who could potentially turn things around. Ellerby is a perfect example.

I agree. His hockey sense has been a question mark going all the way back to junior hockey but he has excellent physical skills -- skates really well for a guy his size, shows some hints of puck-moving ability and physical play.

I'm sure Florida would say his development has been flat ever since he was drafted and signed to his ELC, and they'd be right to say that. I'm sure they'd seen enough and just decided to pull the plug and take whatever they could get.

Even so, Ellerby would hardly be the first defenseman to struggle for 3-4 years after turning pro and then start to figure things out shortly after his original organization gave up on him. Braydon Coburn (who is of similar body type and background) is a good example.

He was busy seeing how many 2nd rounders he has in the cupboard.

Dont you think a 5th round pick is a bit low for him though?

What do you think of Philip Larsen, Bill? Heard he was a slightly better version of Gustafsson and is having trouble staying in the lineup for Dallas from a good source.

It's the regular season, you silly goose.

Oh yeh, I forgot about that

This place is dead. I thought the picture of Katy Perry would help a little. Guess I should've posted one showing her "good side".

ESPN hockey coverage is comically pathetic. Look at this gem.

Laught. Pathetic.

It's possible that McGinn gets sent to the Phantoms, which sucks because I like that kid.

He's earned the chance to stay but it's probably the most realistic choice

Cap considerations > Merit

THIS is just another reason why I hate the cap.

Sending Shelley to Adirondack makes no sense obviously...

For the benefit of the league, it was for the best. IMHO.

Are Gus and Manning due for one way contracts next year?
