$4m/year for Kuba in Fla? Yikes. Although, I criticized Florida's moves last year and they did better than I expected.

I like this. Bad ass now get Parros and nobody will touch JT

I like Carkner I do not like Boyes.

Source: Parise and #Pens have agreed to deal. Will be announced shortly, still discussing pay allocation (very front loaded)

Would rather not play against him on the Ramgers
- Cptmjl

Agreed, but for some strange reason I'm happy he got around to playing for every team in the division. It's...I don't know if "accomplishment" is the right word, but it's kind of cool. Always been a fan of him too, although I guess that's out the window now

Damn. He's a guy I don't want staying in the division.

If this is true God help us and everyone else in our division. And to the Devils fans I feel your pain.

I guess the upshot is, the Pens would pretty much destroy us with or without Parise, and the Devils are now that much more beatable...

McGuire just siad he likes what the Isles have done so far.


Really likes Carkner protecting the young guys.

Also hoping Boyes can recapture some of his offensive game.

Kings keep Penner. I know someone on here was pushing hard for him a couple of days ago.

I also was hoping he would be out of the division. Very tough loss for the Devils. They are a rival but it's hard not to respect what they have done.

I guess he lied if this is true. He said he would stay with the Devils and if he did decide to leave he would never stay in the division.

totally agree, wanted Parise to stay in NJ or go out of the division....
now if im NJ i would just trade Kovy, an blow it up an get younger

They are saying on Twitter that Boyes can also play center...so he could be the 2nd line center between Bailey and Okposo...

I hope they have no chemistry and implode.

They were just in the Stanley Cup finals, blow it up?

yea why not, they are having financial problems, an if they dont sign Parise an bring back Brodeur, lose Salvador, might as well go in a different direction, Kovy is not a savior in NJ

Not too worried....unless their plan is to win every game 13-12, this isn't what Pitt really needs.

As for us, Carkner is a goon who can actually play some, which we need- it's just that I hate my d-men in the box for five minutes at a time. It'd be better if HE was a winger, but then we'd still need a defenseman. I also don't know how much he has left in the tank. Also, Boyes for one year for that salary isn't bad....what's the worst that could happen- we could give Strome another year in junior?

Boyes is nice low risk gamble. he finds his 30 goal form playing with tavares and we in business. its 1MM for 1 year.

carkner was nice d signing. give us some much needed toughness. If you dont think he tough as former islanders Jackman, He broke his orbital bone with one punch. It was a cheap shot thought.

But Carkner is a feared man in the league, and he can play. fills in that 6th spot on defense nicely.

This is not going to go over well.........

#NYR Rangers have signed former #Isles tough guy Micheal Haley to two-year deal

also what up with hockey buzz reporting carkner going to colorado?
