I'm thinking its going to be Hall or if they may decide to give it to Smyth for one season so he can retire as captain of the Oilers and give Hall one more year to mature.

Yeah maybe, unless they decide to go with no captain for the year.
Either way they should announce what's going on soon.

Smytty is not getting it. They will not make someone C for one season. Hall is going to be named according to my sources...

I can't see them giving it to Gagner since they always float his name out there for feelers in any trade rumor.

The only legit one was him and Smid + for Spezza. Other than that it was all speculation by bloggers and fans.

Fair enough but it still must bug Gagner to hear about it all the time.

Pretty glad we didn't do that deal with Spezza's back problems.

"The Florida Panthers added two players to their roster on Saturday, signing forward Brad Boyes and defenceman Tom Gilbert.

The deal for Boyes is for one year and is worth $1 million. TSN Hockey Insider Bob McKenzie says that Gilbert's contract value should be similar to Boyes"

Good value right there... Really don't understand how Boyes only got $1 million.

Cap lowered, blah, blah, blah. Happening to a lot of guys this year.

Can confirm @DamoSpin report. Paul Bissonette automatic suspension will be reduced to 3 games. No quality video & conflicting game report

So does this mean that leaving the bench to join a fight is not an automatic 10 games? Don't let the Leaf fans know that.

$1 million for Boyes is a little extreme though... You'd have to assume he could have gotten more than that elsewhere...

I totally agree but apparently the other 29 GMs weren't willing to do it this year. Next summer he will get a nice raise.

Or drunk, either way it was a good pick up for the panthers. Tallon has done some pretty good deals over the years.

What's going on guys.
