Key word there.
Hawks have a bunch of center prospects who are ready or close to it and Shaw is now the 3C.

Well, lets squash those Luongo rumors now.
Via ESPN Insider:
Ryan Miller? Yes, please.

Heatley screws over another team :lol
Nabakov was awful, why would Islanders want to keep if there are better options out there.
Yep. I don't get it either.

He was definitely bad at the end of the year, but played consistently well throughout the shortened season. He likes it on Long Island ans as you can see, the other options out there aren't all that great.
But I'm guessing he wants 2 years and Snow isn't willing to give it to him based on his age and performance. no way that guy can last through an 82 game season at this point. He needs to go be someone's expensive backup (like Voukoun in Pit/Biron for NYR) and the Isles have no one to play in front of him.

I read the offers were around $5M/year earlier this morning.
The Malkin contract is so disgusting at this point with the cap reduction.
You'd rather give up Clutterbuck than old, overpaid, slow Heatley?

Wooo!!! We are in the East now!!
you'll get punted to the west as soon as Quebec gets a team
Nabakov was awful in the playoffs (stop me if you've heard that one before) but his play down the stretch was a big part of how they made it in. Still, there are better options out there.
Anaheim and the Islanders have been trading partners more than once in recent years - any chance Hiller is available? They need to sign Ryan and they already have Fasth...

Screw Quebec, Seattle comes first!
Your first Steam (Summer) Sale?
Gonchar at almost 40 years old just got $5M per. :lol
If those offers to Letang are true, then the Pens have no intention to really sign him.
Rangers have started negotiations with Lundqvist, all the major RFAs, and Ryane Clowe. Clowe sounds like he's willing to take a pay cut to stay in New York. Will really depend on how much the RFAs end up costing (since they're all higher priority) and what happens with Richards.
I'm thinking they might not make a final decision on Richards until they know more or less what McDonagh is going to cost.

"Je souhaitait toujours de jouer pour Toronto"
Yep!
It never really had a computer that could perform decent but my mac lets me play all the strategy games I want to play so im hoping to pick up some cheap ones.
Shero's pissed that Letang's not drinking the koolaid and believing that they're the best team of the last 40 years.
Hopefully Clowe realized that no one was going to give him that 7 year deal he wanted.
Also holy shit just realized that if he resigns he'll be coached by Vigneault. He hated the Canucks so that's pretty funny.

I never used steam until i found humble bundes for adventure games my macbook air can run, now I enjoy it quite a bit
While the Steam sales events are always fun, you'll quickly realize that the deals are all over the place and all the digital sellers are fighting for your dollar
My gf has one of the first gen Airs. I was surprised at the games it can run. I got GW2 going on it. It didn't run great but it was playable.

You're in for a treat. Although last year's sales were a bit of a letdown in terms of activities (summer camp&potatoes anyone?), so we'll see what this year brings. Summer Sales aren't the wallet-killers they used to be anymore, mostly because a)i already own most games that go on sale and b) other digital resellers (mainly GMG and amazon) have stepped up their game (no pun intended).

Where did you read that? I haven't seen any reliable source comment on the contract offered, other than McKenzie saying it was "substantial". $5M is not substantial for someone like Letang, it's borderline insulting.

I never finished 1 and I still have to finish 2. I made it halfway, then stopped, and have just started playing it again with the rebalance mod.
As near as can be told, Clowe's crazy contract terms last year were just to scare away the Canucks and ensure that he'd go to the Rangers. He'd even been watching the Rangers play for a couple of months and had already decided that he wanted to go to the East, so it was basically "if Vancouver wants me here's what it's gonna cost them."
Having to be under Vigneault now is pretty funny, though, I hadn't even thought about that.
I still need to finish 2 as well. I like a lot of things in W2, but I'm still not a fan of the combat, menu system and crafting.
$5M a year is what Gonchar is getting. I can't see Letang settling for that, even if it was an 8 year deal.
Ya. We can get a good return for clutterbuck. Heatley is still good and scores goals. He was on a 25 goal pace on our 3rd line. He is loved around the team and the cities. We will probably resign him next year if he stays and performs. Most people will laugh but Heatley is a good player and person. It's no coinsidence that his injury led to our pp declining and loosing more games.

Buying out Luongo is a last resort. Gillis would trade him for scraps before it comes to that.

I bet McPhee signs Lecavalier instead of Ribs
Isn't there a clause that if Luongo retires before the contract is up there's a cap hit back to the original team that signed the contract (Vancouver)? The compliance buyout would be worth it for that alone if i'm correct.

Have you given the rebalance mod a shot? Combat is quite different than before, and the number of items has been reduced and weapons and armour (somewhat) streamlined.
I expect Luongo to be bought out. Why would any team give up anything for him when it's likely he'll soon be available for free and on better contract terms?

At least Marty St. Louis will get a chance at being captain now.
wheel of fate is turning, who will be the next one heading to the graveyard of goalies! stay tuned

Dreger on TSN Radio says Letang has received an 8 year/$7m contract offer from the Pens.
Compliance buyouts are gone after this season, I believe.
