Last year Sather had a perfect Free Agency. So this year I'm sure a player like Konopka is gonna get a 10 year 90 mill contract with an NMC from the Rangers.

Burke likes to roll with like ten defenseman, and he's down one so Mark Eaton as well.

Penner will also come in overpriced cause he's a stanley cup winner.... Yeah!
Plinko
Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Oh no, he's coming back to Detroit after we miss out on the big names.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Also false alarm on Cheli and Ilitch going to meet Suter, I guess they were going to before Suter stated he didn't want to do any face to face meetings today, though Holland is still going to see Parise.
Yeah, I -really- disliked his character. The "dialogue" that was written for him was abysmal. Dropping curse words in every sentence doesn't make a character funny.
FREE AGENCY! McKenzie reporting that Lou is meeting with Parise in TO, and that Zach will make a decision to test the market or not within the next hour.
No, thats just how people in Tennessee consume their BBQ sauce.

Don't you EVER talk shit about Desjardins again!

Not really. It's lockout protection. Any team that can't afford that wasn't going to get him in the first place.
That's not even factoring in the addition of his salary for the season too. :lol

Well he's only gonna be getting like 2 mill in salary throughout the year.
He will be laying out Leafs players in the upcoming season.

I guess the Preds are doing a last ditch effort with Suter right now, hopefully it fails.

Looks like the Monster is going to head to free agency and not sign with the Jets, I guess Detroit is interested in picking him up as a backup, I think as a backup to Howard that would be just fine.

Come on brodeur... Come to Toronto

Please?
Fuck that, he'll stand on his head when faces the Habs as he usually does.

The more I think about that possibility, the more I don't want it to happen. His numbers on the Devils over the last two seasons haven't been much better than what Reimer and Gustavsson gave us with defensively inept Leafs teams playing in front of them. I know he turns it on for the playoffs, but since the issue is getting there, I'm not sure he's the right fit. Either way, it's a difficult situation.

Someone pointed out recently that Brodeur hates Francois Allaire's goalie teaching. When he was 16 he begged his father to take him out of Allaire's goalie school

7th rounder better than nothing!
I think Toronto would be great for Marty. However, does he want money? Security? To be the man? Hell we had an aging Belfour hold Tue team together for a few years.
Still, I can't imagine the NJDs letting him go for nothing too. I'm sure they'll work something out.
Where is our #1C and #1G Burke?!
Edit: Allaire no longer works for the Leafs

It was a conditional pick so the Leafs get nothing in the end.

Unfortunately, the Jets kept their 7th since Gustavsson didn't sign there. It was a conditional pick.
Also, I'm pretty sure Allaire is still the goalie coach in Toronto.
That was 24 years ago man
And I'm sure brodeur doesn't need a goalie coach anymore
I'm sure he knows everything he does right and wrong
And allaire might be retiring
There's a good goalie in him. I'd definitely take him as a backup. He was a brick wall before Toronto ruined him.
habs it is!
A brick wall in the SEL against sub-AHL level hockey players, and before multiple heart surgeries.
He definitely has the skill to be a #1, but he's one of the most inconsistent goalies I've ever seen.

Yes, and Brunnstrom was the next Naslund until the filthy Dallas Stars ruined him too.
Jonas had some rough luck in Toronto, but playing behind a porous D wasn't the only reason for his poor performances. I think he simply lacks the concentration/attention span to be a NHL goalie.
