The 2008 entry draft is two days away. At this point too many things are happening to believe no trades will take place. Here are some final rumours.
…would you move guys like Patrick Marleau or Joe Thornton? Anything a GM does is an attempt to make his team better, but would that be the move to help the Sharks gain some depth?
Aside from signing a couple of free agent forwards to bolster their attack, Aaron Portzline of The Columbus Dispatch reports that the Columbus Blue Jackets will also try to re-shape their blueline.
Why were the Flyers willing to deal Jeff Carter? Will Blue Jackets re-sign Michael Peca? Will Ryan Miller play for the Red Wings in 2009-10? Should the Maple Leafs buy out Darcy Tucker? Which teams may want to sign Jaroslav Halak to offer sheets? Are Glen Murray’s days with the Bruins numbered? Is Paul Ranger an untouchable in Tampa Bay?
According to Aaron Portzline of The Columbus Dispatch, the Columbus Blue Jackets will try to land two centers in the off-season.
How much will it cost the Senators to buy out Ray Emery? Will Maple Leafs buy out Andrew Raycroft? Does Brad Stuart want to sign with Western Conference team only? When will the Blue Jackets start contract talks with Pascal Leclaire? Are the Hurricanes trying to sign Brandon Sutter? Why did Marian Hossa leave the Thrashers?
Are the Blue Jackets trying to re-sign Michael Peca? Will the Blue Jackets try to acquire Patrick Marleau? Can Brian Campbell get more than $8 million per season on the open market? Which UFAs could land big deals this summer? Which team will try to make big moves this off-season?
A little rambling about the ‘09 NHL Winter Classic and Franchise Relocation.
Will the Blue Jackets sign, or deal for a front-line center? Did the Sharks offer Steve Bernier to the Rangers? How much are the Rangers are willing to pay Sean Avery? Are the Lightning planning on re-signing Vincent Lecavalier long-term?
Are the Blue Jackets trying to re-sign Jan Hejda before the season’s out? Will Senators try to replace Wade Redden with Brian Campbell in the off-season? How much is Sean Avery looking for?
Aaron Portzline of The Columbus Dispatch reports that the Columbus Blue Jackets and pending unrestricted free agent defenseman Ron Hainsey have agreed to put contract talks on hold until the end of the season.
I’m not sure where this trend started, but I assume it must have been one of the southern teams looking for a gimmick to attract fans to their games. Now, more and more NHL teams are employing the hockey version of cheerleaders.
Will the Maple Leafs consider buying out Darcy Tucker? Did Erik Christensen want out of Pittsburgh? Should the Bruins re-sign Tim Thomas, Glen Metropolit? Were the Sharks intent on moving Patrick Marleau before the deadline? Did the Canadiens miss out on deals with the Blackhawks, Flames? Do the Capitals intend on re-signing Cristobal Huet? Why did the Blue Jackets trade Adam Foote, couldn’t trade for Brad Richards? Which teams chased Tuomo Ruutu before he was dealt to the Hurricanes? Will Ryan Miller leave the Sabres after next season?
Adam Foote has successfully alienated himself from the Columbus fan base and franchise. Read the whole story to try and understand the disappointing end of Foote’s time with the Blue Jackets.
