just my opinion, but no way a 3 year deal for hossa is a penny less than 18 mil

I agree. That's why I don't see him as a real possibility.

Raanta will be in rockford next season. they have no one in net there.
- moylander

Kind of odd to sign him to a one year deal, above the buried contract threshold, to play in Rockford.

EDIT: I should say now, I don't mind if they re-sign Emery...he'd be my plan D or E at best

Possible they look at Brad Richards as well. These "buyouts" could make UFA worth watching.

Yea he's lost a step I think

I think the Hawks know that Emery is going to get more than they want to pay.

didn't we do that with leighton? and then Boosh?

You're right. Honestly I have no clue what I was thinking

I see him taking less than 6 a year for a longer deal. 4 years 5.5?

I agree. That's why I don't see him as a real possibility.

if he's bought out he's the best ufa on the market

I think playing for Torts killed his offensive game. Put him on this team and he can produce some solid numbers.

Bickell just adding to his bank account this offseason.

Wow that is some good hockey.

Wow. Two goals that fast.

Nope. They signed Leighton to be the back-up. They traded for Boucher to get Alt's rights

Q the bryz buyouts in 3 2 1

you guys are lucky. I live in chicago and will have to hear it from all these bandwagon fans out here.

Well Boston gets a taste of what the did to the Leafs

What an amazing last few minutes! Let the post season begin.

Damnit Carrillo got a ring fu

That's amazing. I cant believe that just happened.

Shortened season. Doesn't count.





j/k .... Guys go through hell regardless

What a finish, the B's have been involved in some really, wild playoff games over the last 5 years. Toews is now a 2 time Stanley Cup champion, he is such a stud.

He's a hell of a player.

I am really going to enjoy watching Zeus lift that cup.

Hossa and Handzus, the Slovaks find a way to contribute again
