NHL Discussion (Other than Jets)

[sweep the leg]

the booland one is pretty rough...we overpaid slightly for Cammalerri, but lou said if you want something you have to overpay and give longer term..it is what it is

the Wild got a pretty good deal for Vanek...that was his opportunity for a long, bloated contract

Yeah, I didn't think Cammalerri's was very good, but the Havlat deal was ok. Not much money for a potentially decent return.

I was happy to see the Pens re-sign Goc. He's a very good 4th line centre. The Pens really needed bottom six guys who are legit NHLers and they got a couple in Goc & Comeau. Technically Goc was a Pen last year, but he got hurt early and barely played for them.

Hawks really wanting to trade Sharp...or dump his salary, whatever youd like to call it...trying to get under the cap and make room for 2 gigantic extensions

Philadelphia Flyers star Claude Giroux spent the night in an Ottawa Police cell after an incident involving a police officer, sources tell the Sun.

Although few details were immediately available, a source said Giroux was arrested for repeatedly grabbing the buttocks of a male police officer. Alcohol is believed to have been involved.

The incident occurred at a bar in the Byward Market the source said.

Ottawa Police have refused any comment on the incident. Police said they cannot comment unless charges are laid, but several sources did confirm to the Sun Giroux spent the night in jail.

Sources say he is expected to be released without any criminal charges.

The 26-year-old Giroux was reportedly seen inside a police cruiser in Ottawa sometime around 9 p.m. on July 1. A Twitter post by shaheed09 reads "Claude Giroux in the back of a cop car downtown ottawa". it was posted to Twitter Tuesday at 9:19 p.m.


 oh boy. he is going to get some good razzing in the locker room.

I guess the cop will get the last laugh as Giroux is going to hear it in the dressing room, on the ice and from the fans.

Please kids learn from this dumb-dumb move.

Any guesses what it will be like when he's on the ice?  50x worse, I suspect.

Mike Brown, Adam Burish, John Scott, Tye McGinn. If we combine their powers, I think you've got a solid 4th line ECHL player right there.

David Legwand signed with the Ottawa Senators today.

Toews and Kane re-upped by the Hawks:

http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=456795

The Blackhawks announced Wednesday they had reached eight-year extensions with two of their top performers... Each contract is worth $84 million for an average annual value of $10.5 million

[SaxonMiller11]

Well, Heatley is not signing with the Jets. He took a one year, $1 million deal with the Ducks.

[GOLDMEMBER]

Do we trade Kane now or during the year which do you think would provide the best return?

I say before the year begins.

Unless the return is beneficial, we'll see Kane suit up for the Jets in a few months.

i didn't mind all his antics but enoughs enough already. Either the guy has minor mental issues socially or his hottie chick is in his ear about not wanting him playing in winnipeg or both.


Dude can't control what comes out of his mouth.

Let's face it he's an enigma

That still doesn't address my point: unless the return is good for the Jets, Cheveldayoff won't trade him unless Kane definitively says he wants out.

He's not the only pro athlete with attitude problems.

While I'm sure he's tired of dealing with the way Winnipeggers treat him and wouldn't mind a change of scenery, half of what he says/tweets/does seems like he is just screwing with the Winnipeg media.

he ain't screwing with nothing other than his own reputation! We treat him fine. He's is just high maintenance but of a diva.
