The only important thing to me is that Halak is gone to the western conference so The Lightning are gonna face Carey Price when they play Montreal and he is usually not very good against Tampa. As for Horton , he is still going to play us 4 times instead of 6 so he's still going to be annoying.
Quinn is out, Renney is in.

Ever since that 13-game losing streak (or whatever it was) I've been wondering if the Oilers were going to fire him. Kind of dissapointed that Quinn never seemed to gel in Edmonton; he was a great coach in Vancouver and Toronto. I don't think Renney will be much of an improvement, given his past with the Rangers. Fairly decent seasons followed by playoff futility.
SAN JOSE, Calif. -- The San Jose Sharks are cutting ties with goaltender Evgeni Nabokov.
General manager Doug Wilson said Tuesday the team has told Nabokov he will not be offered a contract when he becomes an unrestricted free agent next month.
Nabokov has been one of the top goalies in the league the past few years, winning an NHL-best 131 games over the past three seasons. He has a 293-215-29 record in 10 seasons with the Sharks, with a 2.39 goals against average. He helped the Sharks reach the Western Conference final this year, where they were swept by Chicago.
Wilson says he would like to sign the team's other unrestricted free agents, including leading goal-scorer Patrick Marleau.
wow. i'd be interested to see if Stevie Y can work his magic with Nabokov and bring him to TB for a good price. probably won't happen, but then again i didn't think Steve Yzerman would be named GM...

Nabokov is washed up, proven by both his olympic and playoff performance.

Nobokov is going to go to Washington and everyone is going to say the team is just adding another choker even though that move would give Washington probably the best starting lineup in hockey today.
Yeah it's nice to finally having people who know what they are doing in place.
4 seasons in a row with 40+ wins. i wouldn't call that washed up.
also, Kurtis Foster has apparently expressed interest in re-signing with the Lightning. hopefully we'll offer him a contract that's satisfactory to him.
All he does is choke on the big stage.

Nabokov isn't washed up. Tim Thomas is washed up.
Hall of Fame Class of 2010 has been announced. I have to agree with what Wyshynski writes here; Ciccarelli has been deserving for a long time, but the exclusions this year are egregious:

absolutely Ciccarelli and 2 chicks...great class NHL.

That was Sather's love affair with over the hill superstars. There was no cohesion with that team. Too many Super Egos.
I could really care less about gender-neutral Hall's. Still, Granato is probably deserving. Cicarelli is a legend.
One of the greatest winners of his generation, Scott Niedermayer, has retired. If a defenceman with a massive ego were to write out a list of goals they'd like to accomplish they probably wouldn't even include all of the things that Niedermayer did accomplish. The guy has received every honour that could possibly be bestowed on a defenceman and will go down as one of the top five greatest defencemen of all time. He didn't have his best season with the Ducks this past year, but he does go out on a high note anyway, having won an Olympic gold (his second!) in his home province of B.C. I, and the NHL, will miss seeing him man the point as well as any defenceman ever has.
