Lee RFA so he did the right thing for the team and will get his turn in 3 years.

Hagelin UFR, They couldn't afford to sign him cap relief plain and simple. Sucks for the Rags because I think they are going to miss him.

I wouldn't mind having Hagelin on the Islanders...he is a great penalty killer...would help on special teams...

Oh yeah, I like him, glad he's out west. Great speed, relentless energy and fore checker. Also plays a lot bigger than his stature.

My only fear is that that 21% from Manhattan is the same corporate a-holes that "fill" MSG for Ranger games.

Following the Cup win, Bowman said he was confident Saad would re-sign.

“I just talked to (Saad) right after we won,” Bowman told the Chicago Sun-Times’ Mark Potash post-Stanley Cup victory. “We [hugged] and I said, ‘This is the first of many — we’re going to win a lot together.’ He gave me a big hug and said, ‘Let’s go.’ So … he’s going to be here. I don’t think he would want to leave after this scene here.”

...or maybe not!

It got us Boychuk and Leddy, so I reserve judgment!

Wow. Hawks should have moved sharp at the draft.

I'm sure those Hawks fans that kept trying to sell you Patrick "Better Than Okposo In Every Way" Sharp will be extremely happy that the Hawks decided to deal Saad in order to keep the multiple 20 and 30 goal scorer Sharp.

Not moving sharp and bickell/versteeg has now cost them one of their best young players. I actually feel bad for hawks fans on this one.

Yeah, this is crazy. All those rules in place for teams to be able to keep their young talent like Saad and Hamilton, and they're losing them anyway on salary demands and the cap.
