Don't forget Zus sitting Shaw down and giving him a "stop playing like d-bag" talk in the Detroit series. Good cheap vet signing (assume it's cheap).

Not sure what the rules are for the amount he can be cut, but he deserved a big shave, fo sho. I like Beachy Bust, but if he continues along this path we might have to go with Busty Beach.

Horton to Columbus for 7 yrs...from S-Net

@Aportzline: #CBJ sign Nathan Horton to a seven-year contract.

7 years for Nathan Horton in Columbus.

So they've replaced the Rick Nash contract with another bad deal for them.

With his concussion history, I don't like this signing. Then again, not my team or my money.

THIS IS MADNESS

Emery confirmed to sign with Flyers, 1 year,

UPDATE: 1.75 mil.
- Hemingways

Really hope Em`s makes the Phil. grade, big time warrior Stan had the # right Emery but he was looking for bigger coin in years 2 & 3. IF the rumor was true about 3 years 1.5 each. GOOD LUCK EMERY Tear `em up Will be watching

Ryan Clowe, who looked washed up this year at times, 5 year deal in NJ.

would have preferred they sent him on an ice float with a gold watch

we'll see where dollars are at, but if he is signed to be 4C its a good move

2C? shoot me now
- FourFeathers773

Well, we all know..Q is in charge..it will be more like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHaL6Qy3b0w

Horton 7 yr/$40 mil roughly

You must not have watched the playoffs. He was solid for most of it. His smarts are a bigger plus than his lack of speed at this point. If it's under $1.5 or so it's a decent signing. Gives them a lot of protection if Pirri doesn't work out.
- Hemingways

Good signing, IMO, but not if he winds up at 2C - needs to play 50-60 games at 4C / some FO work on PK and in d-zone late in games.

Lebarbera to edm from fa frenzy. another backup gone.....at this rate we will get dipietro

Pierre-Marc Bouchard to Islanders for 1 yr - 2 mil
Woulda liked him....

Way too much $$$$
- hockey nut 28

Not for the Yotes. They need to spend in order to win and save the franchise, find a buyer. He'd be a solid 2C on OUR team, FFS. If Bicks gets 4/$16M, I don't see Ribeiro's $ as out of line at all.

That could go down as an all time awful signing if Clowe plays like he did last year. Bickell's contract is looking better everyday.

Devils sign Ryane Clowe, 5 year deal, 4.85M cap hit per Ren Lavoie


Bickell was a deal.

Great, taking the seat of Jamal Mayers.

That sounded rude.

Horton saying...he's looking for quieter, family life and hopes to find it in CBJ

Or not...

A lot of signings the first hour - amazing how quick it all happens without any negotiations before 12 EDT.

Now it is.

Just wait and see what Clarkson gets, then we'll all breathe a sigh of relief on Bick's contract.
