When you have a beer this holiday week, pour a little out for this guy...



And then drink the rest in celebration of America and the end of the RDP Era.

Its a coin flip. Who is out there. Emery? That's any good.

Jaeckal just said he is rumored to be signing a 2 yr 4.5 per yr contract again w the Hawks. How is that even possible?

No worries. You seem a bit off today but that's expected after what you just stated. Hope you feel better soon! Good way to feel better quicker... Have a vodka tonic with those pharmacueticals. You didn't hear that from me

Just a bit?

I'll be sure to take your advice at dinner time.

would love to have him but he's likely to resign with the hawks.

Hiller may be the next best target (in trade), don't want bryz, thomas or nabby.

Would anyone consider Ellis, if he came on the cheap and Isles added some better D

We need goal tending. I'm 100% confident the Isles have something brewing to address our goalie needs.

Yeah. I agree. Something seems different (but good) with them. I really wonder if Wang is on the verge of selling the team.

It would be too much good news in a small amount of time. Not sure I could handle it?

Just look at UFA goalies on CapGeek.

There aint Squat left on the UFA Goalie market.

It's gotta be a trade.

I think we all feel something good is going to happen but try to keep your expectations down because it won't hurt as much when the inevitable let down rears it's ugly head.

Halak is a possibility too.

Yeah definitely. Since he went after Bernier and Schneider, I think he's okay with the trade route. Halak or Hiller would be my choice.

"Bozak contract talks expected to resume today with Leafs. Proposal on the table believed to be 8 years at less than $5 mil per."

This guy's agent is out of his mind.

Agreed. Unless......he thinks he would like to see what the two "next ones" have and decides to run with them.

I believe Isles need to move into Brooklyn as a winning team for the area to really get excited about the move.

coming in as the same old losing organization wont do a lot to inspire anyone.

Gotta justify the ticket prices also.

his agent is doing a good job, its the Leafs who out of their mind if they sign him for that long........

OUCH!

Halak, Hiller, Bryz for me, in that order, of realistic targets that won't cost tons of assets that I believe would help. I know the Bryz one isn't popular around here, but I just disagree with the consensus opinion this time around. Watched him a lot in Phoenix (even bought a Yotes hat in those days) and liked his game a lot when he was there. I'd put Khudobin in there too...just don't know if I'd have him second, third or fourth on my list. I can't really make up my mind.

Moulson, JT, Clutterbuck
Okposo, Strome, Bailey
Grabner, Neilsen, Brock Nelson
MM, Casey C, (either Lee, McDonald, Aucoin, Sundstrom.. or UFA)

I am ok with this.. .obviously if we sign someone else I will be happy but if not I am ok with that... toughness, scoring, hitting, ... etc.
