Official NHL thread 2007-2008

Guess they'll have another semi lazy defensemen to go along with Pitkanen. Souray has ok offensive numbers but he's a -27 for his career. If I was an Edmonton fan I wouldn't be very thrilled about the defensive aspect of his game.

Yeah you're right they shouldn't be thrilled about the defensive aspect of his game because he doesn't have one hehe . Only Offense for that guy . :D
 
With Edmonton's inability to keep star players like Weight and Guerin in the past and most recently Smyth it makes me wonder what they would've done if Buffalo didn't match the Vanek offer, how the fuck could they have afforded it?

Anyway, it pisses me off when one team signs an RFA to an offer sheet, the other team always winds up getting fucked over royally while salaries go up around the league due to the bar being set even higher and the team that made the offer doesn't face any repercussions at all. I wanted to kick the shit outta Clarke for offering Kesler that contract last summer, that was fucking greasy, thanks for screwing us by making us greatly overpay a fucking prospect. Dickweed. Then he gets fired as GM and I celebrate, only to see him back as a consultant or some shit like that a few days later.

I was also pissed off that Colorado signed Smyth, I finally get to see the Canucks play games against Edmonton and not have see Smyth, enjoying the freedom of having him in the other conference and now he's right back in our division. Fuck you Avs.

Hehehe good news for Canadiens fans :party:

Damn right...what were we going to do with him? I mean, you know it's bad when Danis comes up from Hamilton and puts up better numbers that your backup goalie.
 
So far, every great free agent is gone and they all were overpaid. On paper teams look good, but no one is the favorite and I bet the team that wins the Cup will probably have done little this offseason

Yeah you're right . teams like the Rangers won't win the cup just because they signed two big free agents to ridiculous contracts .
 
Id cream my pants if the Jackets pulled out a winning season. With hitchcock at the helm they were above .500. So with that being said Im optomistic.
