Darn. But seven years is alot to do.
Zubov anyone?

I think today's focus is goaltending. Until that situation is resolved I don't expect us to make a play for any d-men.

Their GM staff is big enough. They can handle multiple tracks at once.

I agree though that a backup goalie is muy importante.

Darren Dreger (TSN): Ohlund will get 22.5 of the 24.5 in the next 5 years.

That would be the best news of the day for me. Eklund is saying he's an E3 to CBJ...I'll (Frank) beat someone if that happens, especially considering that I now live about an hour from Columbus (Cincinnati)

I take Dreger's word over Eklund's any day of the week.

Wait a minute...I re-read it and realized that you said Hossa and not Havlat.

Unless it's a one year deal, Tallon has lost his MIND.

Floating holiday...? We're not all union members, man.

[strocklen083]

Strickland reporting we're close with Conklin. Between us and another team. Annoucement soon...

On a lesser note, Hossa to Chicago appears to be a done deal.

You have GOT TO BE KIDDING ME. (Frank)!

[strocklen083]

You have GOT TO BE KIDDING ME. (Frank)!

you're upset about this why?

Because Havlat is better than the two time loser.

[Ruutu15]

Not to mention, we have the most overrated defenseman in the game on a huge cap hit, Huet and his immovable contract, and still have to re-sign Toews, Kane, Seabrook, and Keith. How does Hossa fit into that?

Havlat must have a deal in place in LA or at the very least leaning that way. That or the Hawks felt they couldn't pass up an chance at Hossa. Interesting to see length/cost...
