It is for Bonino but i'm happy with our deal yesterday even though I was never a huge Pommer fan. Team is different now so maybe it will work out.

Pomminville made a living by getting open and being in the right place at the right time. With the centers the Sabres have, he could fit in playing that style very nicely.

Good signing by NSH. Bonino is decent

I like it, too. I know Murray laid the groundwork for Antipin, but JB closed the deal, and has possibly transformed our D corps in a matter of a few weeks. Well done, JB.

Believe the Leafs are getting Ron Hainsey on a two-year deal once paperwork is filed past noon ET...

Better than signing Alzner for 5 years. He will be on Robidas Island next year.

Hearing that Ron Hainsey to @MapleLeafs is a 2 year deal in the 3.25mio range. @NHLNetwork Can play right side as well as being a left shot.

It's funny to me that people talk about Shattenkirk being bad in the playoffs when Alzner was legitimately benched in the playoffs

Still working on the details, but Winnipeg is likely destination for Dmitry Kulikov.

If Rangers get Shattenkirk for only 4 year deal that's a great signing by them.

Marleau has #Leafs among teams on his radar, @reporterchris just said on TSN. Marleau-Thornton are two I'm fascinated by today.

They probably get him at a good rate. I bet he has a bounce-back season. There's no way he actually sucks as bad as he did for us last year.

That's what Kevin Cheveldayoff says about his goalies every year too

Jets had goalie issues last year so they sign Steve Mason. Makes sense.

The difference is he will be signed to play on the 3rd pair, whereas our GM expected him on our first pair

Caps announcer Joe Beninati thinks he was:
