yesterday briere was a lock to go to new jersey. today the devils aren't even mentioned, wow what a difference 24 hours makes?

They have used neither buy out....

Ballard: 4.2 million
Booth: 4.35
Raymond: not returning saving 2.275

Not to mention Lou at 5.3

They have nothing but room to sign Vinny. But ..... do they want to have him coached by Torts? That's the real question here, not money.
- Beatle_john

Even when they use both buyouts they will still not have room. There is still a roster to fill out.

Letang is a UFA AFTER next season correct? Don't see the rush to trade him, if they can't find a satisfactory deal then he stays in Pittsburgh for next year.

and then he walks for nothing? if he's turning down 8 years 54 million. he obviously isn't gonna do pitt any favours

Yo the sabres are trying to become younger. Hemsky is old and expensive, nice try though eklund.

Eklund: RUMOR UPDATE: The Big Boys: Vinny, Danny, Nathan, Ales, Jarome and Kris....
- Eklund

What is up in Pittsburgh if Staal and now Letang want out so badly.

STOP WITH HEMSKY TO THE ISLANDERS. It has been going on for 3 years and it is NEVER going to happen. Why would they want him? It makes no sense and it won't happen.

all these players will be packaged and traded to vancouver for luongo

I'm guessing you mean Letang.

Letang for 1st/Gorges/Collberg seems about right. I know MTL is not giving up both Gorges and Gallagher.

Love Letang but no way he's coming to MTL if he's refusing $7.5 million

Crosby is such a douchebag everyone is trying to get away?!?

When a guy turns down that much money it makes you think he doesn't care where he plays as long as it isn't where he currently is. Mind boggling!

The same thing happened a few years ago when Turris asked for some ridiculous number from Phoenix.

So they'll wait and get him next summer for free....

Nobody waits for anything. Strike while the opportunity is there or else you will see him in another uniform.

I laugh when a fan from a perennial loser like the Panthers or Sabres makes a comment about Crosby, when they would be first in line to buy his jersey if he was on their team.

Cant believe that wasn't enough money considering they have a chance to win East every year.

Miller for Letang.
Crosby and Miller can watch sappy movies together and cry on each others shoulders.

i have a bad feeling if hes moved to toronto he would be exploited and not live up to his contract
- nightmare3020

I agree. I think Letang is making a big mistake not staying in Pitt. Over less than a MIL per...playing with Crosby and Malkin sure makes you look good and he'd have a cup shot every year. What an idiot.

And usually that is a good thing. If Pitt is going to command a kings ransom for him and then he still wants a 8 yr 64 mill deal, then I would not touch him with a ten foot pole.

I take this same stance with the Sabres. Please no Hemsky here.

There is nothing in the Letang teams you mention that really interest me as far as pieces they could deal.

Hemsky is garbage. I wouldn't touch him.

Not even close to enough, if Staal in the exact same situation can fetch a top 10 pick, good player and prospect then Letang will command a minimum of that.

I would say Gorges, Gallagher, 1st, 2nd is probably close.

I wouldn't do it if I'm Montreal but that is the cost, give or take.
