Meh, Vermette takes over his role, Ribeiro becomes the first line centre...kinda nice C depth for once
- AdamFrench

I think Riberio is a piece of (frank)ing poop, but reuniting with Tippett works.

Apparently he and Dubnyk train together in off-season are good friends.

is labara a done deal?

Wow, GREAT start for the Oil!

You guys are doing pretty well for yourselves.

Ferrence, Gordon, LaBarbara...

Great pickups so far
- BigDre

What is not to like- we did not blow all our dollars - they were not signed forever... and fill needs... good work

Damn Mactavish and his lack of action. When is he going to do something???

-Cloutier
- TheTaoOfSemenko

If you want to know anything about hockey, Cloutier is not your man. Now if we're talking KFC double downs.....

yep

I'd still do the hemsky for smith deal if that deal ever existed.

I hope he doesn't suck

yep

Cool. I was worried about the backup goalie race.

(frank) now we need clowe do it up Mac Daddy T

or fleshlights modeled after Rita Macneil...

with Alfredsson going to Detroit,I'm sure Hemsky value to Ottawa just went up.

2.64gaa last season. It's alright for one year deal too. Is edm gonna stick with young goalie for okc? Dubnyk and lab train together and good friends. Goes a big way when two respects each other and just having fun.

I agree. A top 6 forward to replace Hemsky will finish this day perfectly. I want Clarkson but that is just me.

Maybe. Might be better if they don't like each other and compete for the position.

If we sign Clowe yet- we could keep Hemsky IMO... maybe then he has enough space to shine... or (frank) it trade him for Zack Smith...

CBJ 7 years Horton
NJ 5 years Clowe

Flyers nab Emery at a decent price 1.75 for one year. Goaltending for them could either be disastrous or good. Certainly not a focus for them evidently.

I'd love to see the contract details for Ference. Drop-off point?
- Morris

I vote disastrous. Emery hasn't played over 35 games since '07. Mason is a top 5 worst goalie in the league

Reportedly Clowe 5 years to NJ is done and Horton to Columbus is done also.

Rumor has it they might have money issues. Might have to keep part of Hemmer's salary, which I'm okay with.

Clarky don't wanna be here

god (frank)ing damnit!

Either way you cut it we got better these last 2 days... Gordon brings size and FO% wins, Ference brings experience (winning) and leadership to the D and labarbara is a solid back up with no drinking and driving issues- on record anyway

Is Gordon good enough to be third line Center or is Lander going to take that spot?
