Maybe to Bickell it does after seeing all the money handed out to Clowe and the rest.

Dunno. If he can still play, sorry—cue the Crow Fanatics—he's a better goalie than what they have.

But Crawford is the second coming of

Gotta love the Leafs, have Bozak at $4.2 mil, Clarkson at $5.3 mil, and Bolland at $3.25 mil. None of them are number 1 centers. Clarkson and Bolland are number 3's, although Clarkson might spend some time at top 6 wing.

I am also thrilled
that Rosy & Zeus return.

but I don't think you will see any impulsive first day shopping by Bowman today.

They will wait for things to settle and players without teams/offers will be reasonable and more ready to filed offers.

The Leafs seem to be going for broke. Seems the Exec from LA, Leiwiki (sp) is steering the bus as Nonis has been on record as saying he was going to approach the build methodically.

True, but unless they move or bury Carcillo/Brookbank/someone unexpected, not much room on the roster.

CapGeek shows 22 guys under contract, but that includes Morin and Hayes. Let's say Pirri takes one of those spots and we sign a vet backup goalie. That leaves one spot up for grabs by a vet signing or the Rockford Files.

Bringing back the best D core in the NHL is huge. Handzus and Rosey are glue guys in the locker room. We will defend the Cup with almost the same team. I would like to see Stan land Khudobin, 27 years old, made 800 thousand last year, would be a solid backup to Crow and would allow Raanta to play in Rockford.

Yeah, and they better hope this deal doesn't blows up in the face, because they are going to be pinching pennies in depth, and any dee additiions.

It makes Wings better, but.... ?

Same team minus Bolland and Frolik. Let's see if Bowman adds another spare part or two. If this is essentially the same team as last year, how can that bother anyone? It was the best team in hockey?
- John Jaeckel


And minus Stalberg - and, I guess, Emery too.

I'm happy right now with pretty much everything - wish they could have kept Frolik, but....

How much are you willing to pay to find out that he can't play or is a locker room problem?
- kwolf68

No one will ever be happy, we won the Stanley Cup a week and a half ago with a record setting team, but we find ways to get upset. We lost no one on our top 2 lines, our defense will stay exactly the same (granted Leddy signs). Bolland hurts to lose as a fan, and Frolik hurts with his effort and PK skills. I'm excited about having basically the same team as the team that won the cup.

You guys bought it hook line and sinker. Next time he needs to use the red font.

He definitely was when he last played.

But after taking a year off, at close to 40 years old?

Look at how how hard Chelios worked in those last few years just to keep playing.

Does anyone really think the Hawks are gonna pay Crawford that much? Al,Wiz,JJ...this front office realizes he isn't that good,and that the defense in front of him is the reason he is looking good out there....right? Would hate to see the Hawks throw that kind of money at him
