NHL summer movement thread

just because people are posting on both of the other threads...less confusion.

by the way, boynton from boston to phoenix for paul mara.

 

As long as Jacobs makes his 15% he doesn't care what goes on the ice.

 

Pheonix got the better of the deal, although mara isn't exactly a horrible d-man either. I'd say it's a close swap but Boyton has better upside.

 

Here's a question... Other than Pronger getting the hell out of Edmonton, what do you think the major moves of the summer are going to be.

 

Havlat out of Ottawa. Most of the big trades have already happened, although there are always a few surprises.

 

Good idea, that way we can keep track of all the Penguins' Stanley Cup-winning additions.

 

And where's Briere going to end up?

 

Don't laugh, Oz.           

Per the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review:

Both Mark Cuban and Dan Marino have joined Murstein's ownership group in their bid to purchase the Pens.

Jovanovski to the Kittens, I mean Panthers.

 

Hey, if McClatchy's too stingy to think about selling the Bucs to Cuban, that would be awesome. Cuban would be front row, pounding the glass, barking at the referees.

I'm liking this idea.

 

Where he was this past year; he isn't going in anywhere. He has said he wants to stay in Buffalo numerous times and he'll be in B-lo when the puck drops for the 06-07 season.

Biron wants out very badly and why not? He's proven he can be a starter and a team like Detroit could use him. Grier might not be back, McKee will most likely not be back and Miller is going to get a nice raise.

 

Ah yeah, been out of the loop for a week or so. Just read that he and his agent are seeking a long-term deal. Plus, he's pleading with management to keep the roster as intact as possible.
I would say that would be a good idea, too. Build on where they are. Especially considering what happened to the Flames after a few tinkers here and there. The addition of Tanguay should alleviate some of the pressure to score but they're still missing that natural leadership of a Craig Conroy. And, for heaven's sake, ditch Amonte.
