Good stuff today. Lots of big time signings. Still surprised that Gaborik didnt sign.

I like the signing of cammelleri in Mtrl. Speed and scoring.

Its like Christmas came early. Tons of deals. Like the moves by the Canucks and Florida. Can’t believe Slats isn’t making a bigger splash.

Kyle – I’m shocked you didn’t give. For the record I gave to the Michigan Police Assoc.

I too wonder what an unhealthy averion to a bra is. I am with david. I think Kings are getting ready to sign Gaborik. Or perhaps they are still trying to swing a deal for Vinny.

So the big names still out there are;

Forwards:
Havlat, Gaborik, Cammalleri, Kovalev, Koivou, Tanguay, Gionta, Antropov

Defence:
Komisarek

Also, what’s an “unhealthy” aversion to a bra? Is that something that strikes a girl who isn’t interested in the IC Editor?

Interesting day so far. I like the Bullin Wall in net for the Oilers. I am most surprised by the fact that the Kings haven’t done anything to this point. I would have to imagine that Gaborik is deciding between L.A. and NY Rangers.

quite an upgrade for the Oilers in net.

if the rumors of the Oilers making an offer to Neil are true…thats quite the downgrade of the original Oilers/Senators trade.

Kinda nice when your team doesn’t have to pull off any big moves to improve!! Pens repeat!!

Could someone please track Dale Tallon down and ask him wtf he was thinking? A 12 year contract to Hossa? Stunned barely begins to describe my reaction. This is a mistake, one that could be of epic proportions.

By: Kyle

Kyle — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 19:34:44 +0000

Lots of interesting moves here. I think the next one we see is an over pay for Havlat or Gaborik in the NW. I am looking at you Katz…

Good thing that Niedermayer re-signed with Anaheim. Could you imagine if he tells the Ducks he is playing another year, they trade Pronger in anticipation of that, and then he leaves for Van city.

By: bladesofsteel

Canucks and Flames are going to be beasts. If Vancouver lands Niedermayer should be very, very interesting.

I thought Brian Burke’s phone was to be ringing off the hook.

I too saw Transformers. Good action. Stupid movie. Megan Fox is terrible. Other than looks what purpose does she serve?

Back to hockey. Is Edmonton some sort of sinking ship?

Gaborik could be off to LA. Montreal is other rumored team interested. I’m sure more will jump in too.

By: Benjamin Jamison

12 yr deal. Insane. Does this mean Gaborik is off to LA?

By: icethepuck

Hossa done deal. Hawks fans feeling like Oilers fans last night. Not sure how to react.

Any reason we haven’t heard anything from L.A.??? Weren’t they supposed to make a splash in the free agent market.

By: david

david — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 17:43:30 +0000

That’s what I figured Rich. Of course with Hossa’s luck, I guess this means the Wings are heading back to the Cup next year.

By: Richard

Richard — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 17:38:24 +0000

Hossa to Chicago makes little sense. Unless it is short term.

Crash the Crease thanks for the update. That might explain lack of activity.

great signing by Tampa. Ohlund will be a great mentor to Hedman. Brilliant. If the Lightning could just get a goalie they might have something.

great live blog so far Kyle (and rich for last 30). Hossa to Chicago. That would be kinda crazy.
