2009 NHL Free Agency

[3074326]

Rumor that Niedermayer is going back to Anaheim.. Pronger move coming in an hour or so maybe?

I'm pretty pumped to see the deals that might go down. I love pre-draft and pre-trade deadline time in all sports. Exciting.

Pronger to Philly..

Victor Hedman looks like Matthew Stafford.

EDIT: Pronger to Philly for Lupul, Sbisa and two 1st rounders. Wow.

jay bo got what he wanted and his trade to calgary. he grew up in edmonton and played for medicine hat.

sedins are being chased around back home by the nucks. looks like the habs will toss out an offer on the first.

a few teams are cap tight already (flyers, rangers) and a few are walking a tightrope. should be a nice place for value teams to make some good deals if some of those teams lurch for a ufa/rfa offer sheet.

antropov wants a big contract.

zherdev's agent is said to be "allusive" suprise, suprise...

actually some decent mid level players out there.

i personally think mike komisarek is the best dman available this summer signing season.

Thank God Hossa is gone. Now the kids can come up and contribute and that will likely give Detroit some room to make a trade later on.

Hate losing Conks though.

Blue Jackets signed C Samuel Pahlsson away from Chicago for 3 years/7.65mil (2.65mil/yr) and G Mathieu Garon of Pittsburgh for 2 years/2.4mil (1.2mil/yr).

Real bummer... especially considering he signed for only $100,000 more than what we got Garon for.
