The Wings have signed Jason Williams to a one-year deal. This effectively pushes Jeremy Williams off the team. Jeremy had the No. 13 spot up front almost by default. I don’t see a whole lot out of Jason on the third line in Detroit, and he’ll have to battle Patrick Eaves for the spot. At least Eaves can play a bit of a checking role.

There is a tiny issue with registeration that I have slapped a band-aid on so it will allow registration to the main website, however, it is not automatically logging into the forum. So any new users will have to login a second time through the forum login fields to get in there. For now, until we fix this.

Antti Pihlstrom did not get the one-way contract he was looking for so he signed to play in the SEL next season. I didn’t see anything in him that screamed “NHLer” anyway. This opens things up just a little bit for the likes of Nick Spaling and Patric Hornqvist.

Jeff Hamilton has signed to play in the Swiss League next year.
Â
Jannik Hansen has agreed to a contract with the Canucks. It’s a two-way contract and I don’t think we’ll see him play a full season in the NHL this year.
Â
Nolan Schaefer has signed to play in the KHL next season.
Â
Jeremy Roenick is expected to announce his retirement today. Another great fantasy hockey legend, but also a great sound byte.

The Read More link to the ramblings is apparently wonky for some people. It works fine for most – including myself, and I use a PC and Firefox. Is it a Mac thing? Curious.
