$141M spent in one hour ---- INSANITY!

Why did teh owners lock the players out again?

Bettman has to be shaking his head watching over all of this. The owners need to be saved from themselves.

Couldn't agree more. Give me Clowe money I'd probably be able to score 4 goals for that cash!

When did this become the NBA? Vastly overpaying mid-level players simply because they are available.... Those deals are disgusting

with LA u mean???

Thought it was Pitt ? But not sure

Thomas to Chi ? I could handle that for a year...
- philco28

I don't know is they need Thomas. I don't think he'd be happy as a back up unless he's Cup chasing.

UPDATE: $4.85 mil PER for Clowe. 5 yrs. Lou Lamorello must be shooting up heroin today.
- Hemingways

See what I meant earlier about every team having money to burn as in paying Giroux in philly.

I have real trouble with paying Clowe like this!

I think the Hawks should sign Benoit Puliot if for no other reason than to keep #67 warm now that Frolik is gone

Thought it was Pitt ? But not sure

He played on pitt then played on LA the last 2 years, now he is going back to Pitt

It happens every single time. History in this sport in regards to outlandish deals repeats itself over and over again! Owners cry poor then give out Monopoly money for 3 freakin goals. I guess some of these owners and gms are just printing cash in the basements of their barns.

I'm glad Stan's not in on this insanity.

Also, very good to see Handzus back. I expect he'll get around $2 million.

I like Handzus as long as he isn't on the 2nd line.

A little competition never hurt anyone

SJ...sign Kennedy to 2 yr deal...Hannan and Couture for 5 yrs...

NO, I meant they traded Bernier to make room TO resign him, he hasn't been in Pittsburgh for a few...

Hannan got a one year deal...

@TSNBobMcKenzie: Michael Handzus has agreed to terms on one year deal with CHI, paperwork to be completed

That's what I was thinking, that Zus becomes the 4C while Kruger gets promoted to 3C.

That still leaves the 2C open. Likely to Pirri, but it's always nice to dream about Bowman potentially picking up someone we never even thought about.

Scuderi BACK to Pitt for 4 years...OFFICIAL

Hannan got a one year deal...
- Jagbears

Yes, pretty sure

Anyone heard who the Hawks are looking to for a goalie coach and what the story was there? I'm guessing the reason for Waite leaving was the Montreal opportunity.

When does the countdown start till the next lock out. This is why you need a good farm system so you don't have to get involved in this nonsense unless it's a move that puts a team over the top.

I don't think McD would touch that guy with a ten foot pole.

I like the way the TSN guys - and hockey analysts in general - are very critical of certain players, teams, deals, etc.

You don't get that in other sports - sometimes from TNT in basketball, but not much other than that.
