Orpik gone to division rival on a horrible deal
Glass gone to division rival on a horrible deal

If only Philly had signed Vitale to his horrible contract then this day would be glorious.

You would think those teams had seen enough of those two this past year to know they are pretty terrible players.

Obviously Orpik has a little gas left in the tank, but Glass is one of the work Penguins I can remember.

Philly still has time to (frank) up a deal...

Maybe they go overboard to steal Goc, Stemp, or Sutter?

- Guile


They don't need Sutter. They have the next Ron Francis as their third line center.

Philly still has time to screw up something, but Hextall is smarter than the dolt they previously had. I mean, maybe they had their big mistake before the season ended - extending Andrew MacDonald to a 5 million contract per year.

Sounds like doing that would make it all the more of a (frank) up deal to obtain Sutter

Another comment I greatly enjoyed:
NYR must have really liked what they saw in Glass during the playoffs when the Pens had him in the press box most of that series.

With 3 goalies signed on one way deals does Pittsburgh trade Fleury or Zatkoff? To go down Zatkoff would have to pass through waivers.

HFBoards are the worst around. No one there has any commonsense relative to values of players. No one there remembers there is a cap in place as well.

Honestly, the AMac contract doesnt look so horrible now. Rather him than Orpik at 5.5

Buffalo overpaid Moulson by at least 1 mill per year. They had the ability to do that though.

Teams like that can overpay with all their cap space... Washington wasn't holding a huge cap space. I believe they had about the same as us?

If they take all three to camp, there is a good shot that Zatkoff clears waivers when every other team is clearing rosters before opening day.

Buffalo must be enamored with him. Trade Vanek for him. Then trade him to Minny. Then get him back in FA.

True, I'm still waiting to see if that is the case though. I have a feeling there will be some moves made in the next two weeks.

Given the Pens just dumped Neal for character issues on/off ice, I would guess Abdelkader wouldnt be in their plans. Hasnt he been suspended recently and had that incident in World Championships/Olympics? Cant remember which.

I don't get why an older guy like Moulson would sign in Buff. He's still a good player and they will be losing for at least a few more years. Strange IMO.

Niskanen to Tampa, not sure if final or not...

Edit: Take that back, apparently San Jose is now in the running according to their sources. Niskanen is either overpricing himself or is getting a deal that will let him retire in style.
