  I’m still hoping that Sean Kelly contacts me, as he won the Oakley’s sunglasses. Shades can be seen by clicking here.   The Panthers have acquired Sergei Shirokov from Vancouver for Mike Duco.

  Angus here - heading out the door for the weekend - just saw the Fehr to Winnipeg trade. Great move for Fehr - as I speculated yesterday, this gives him value and clears the logjam on RW in Washington. The Jets sent a 4th round pick to Washington.   Fehr will likely play on [...]

Zach Parise’s Future in New Jersey

Parise ICON SMI

Last season, the New Jersey Devils shocked the hockey world when they opened the season with a 10-28-3 record. This was an organization that had won two Stanley Cups in the last 10 years and qualified for postseason contention each of the last 13 seasons. With the almighty Martin Brodeur in goal, the team seemed like a lock for at least one more playoff berth. But Brodeur struggled early on and the lack of team depth was gloriously magnified. While the team had just locked up superstar Ilya Kovalchuk to a contract Rick DiPietro can smile at, the Devils were really missing another key forward – Zach Parise.

It's a subtle strategy, but I see right through you Dale Tallon. Yes, you're spending lots of money. Yes, you're bringing in lots of free agents. Yes, the optics are that you have made yourself a competitive team. But I know what you're really doing. And might I say, sir - it's brilliant.

  This strikes me as Brian Burke caving - Clarke MacArthur gets two years, $6.5 million. I didn't think he'd top $3 million per. Did the Panthers influence this? Their crazy signings to get up to the salary floor is having a ripple effect, methinks.   There is an unconfirmed report from Darren Dreger that [...]
