I misunderstood – I will be on 106.7 The Drive on Sunday between 8 and 9 am Alberta time. They do not have an Internet feed, so only the Alberta readers can hear it. I may have a link to the show later on Sunday or Monday.
Just a reminder that I will be on BIG105 in Red Deer this afternoon with Andrew Walker.
Derek Roy signed for six years at four million per. Wow – the Sabres have learned their lesson. He's getting that kind of money, so he'll get first-line ice time this year, no question.
I forgot about this guy…Todd Warriner signed to play in the German League again next season. Living in the Toronto area, I found that blast from the past interesting…
The Islanders signed Maxime Ouellet to a one-year deal as a free agent to be a depth goaltender in their system.
Perttu Lindgren, ranked 60 on my prospect list, has signed a contract with Dallas. I don't expect him on the team this year, but next season looks pretty promising.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is having a little fun speculating on the upcoming line combos. Holik with Kovalchuk and Sterling, followed by White with Hossa and Kozlov. Little was not in their mix, although he will either make the team and center Kovalchuk or he'll play in the AHL. No point in bringing him in to sit on the third or fourth line. The Hockey News likes Little to make this team and center Kovalchuk.
Reports out of Anahiem indicate that although GM Brian Burke has said he would match any offer sheet, he was not expected such a high amount. I wasn't either, he'd be crazy to match (see yesterday's ramblings for more).
Derek Roy's arbitration hearing is scheduled for today, but the Sabres will be working right up until the last minute to get him signed beforehand.
