Gotta think Shero will be on the phone with Parise or Suter come hour 1 of free agency. With 14.5m of cap space to fill one forward and 2 d spots, could he even got both of them? 6 a year for Parise and Suter, then 2 a year for Niskanen to resign. Room for injury call ups. Could be even better if he moves Paul Martin, who people have supposedly been asking for. | ||

McKenzie says Suter is their #1 target... which is nice I suppose but I've always been hoping for an all-star winger for Sid, full-time. No offense to Dupuis and his nice point streak but still, he's no Parise. Plus Malkin kinda has dibs on Kunitz and Neal now, rightfully so. July 1 should be interesting to see for Suter, Parise and Schultz, but is there anyone really interesting after that? | ||

If you're Parise, you come in and you don't have to be the face of the franchise, you kind of fall in line behind Malkin and Crosby, where you'll quietly destroy everyone playing Crosby's wing. If your Suter, you have the same kind of insurance that you'll play with a high quality defenseman, either Orpik or Letang, and be able to do your thing. I think it's a good situation for both players, really, but I'm also obviously biased. My understanding is Detroit is the next top bidder for Suter...where he's going to come in and clearly going to be expected to fill the shoes of Lidstrom. Not something I can imagine anyone wanting to try to do. And really, no, I don't think so, EPO. After Suter, Parise, and Schultz, there's a massive drop off in interest. The next best forward on the market is probably PA Parenteau...that says a lot. There are a few interesting defenseman, though. Wideman and Garisson. | ||

Could be even better if he moves Paul Martin, who people have supposedly been asking for. There is absolutely zero chance that Parise or Suter get 6 a year. Wideman just got $5 per and he is half the player that Suter is. And yeah that Wideman contract is 5/5 with a full nmc loooool. Feaster is fucking awful. Why the hell doesn't that team just rebuild? I actually think Wideman is ok as a 2nd/3rd pairing dude who you give soft minutes and pp time, but that contract price and length with the nmc makes no fucking sense for where that team is at. Go go, 9th place! Also, Brodeur hired an agent for the first time in his career. That says a real lot about Jersey's ownership situation. But if they're in that dire of straights but still have the ability to retain some guys, it definitely has to be Parise over Brodeur. As much as it would gut their d, I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to move Volchenkov. He's great in his own end, but does nothing offensively. $6m is way too much for that, but a lot of teams on the cusp could use someone like him. Also, PA Parenteau is gonna get like $4-5 by sheer virtue of being one of the only decent wingers out there and someone's gonna be real disappointed when they see that's a product of playing with Tavares | ||

Those guys aren't worth 100 million deals. It's odd because Zach has been one of my favorite centers for several years now, but to give them that kind of a payday? Shit. | ||

The Latendresse signing all I can really say is I hope last season was a bad one... we tend to have poor luck with injuries (LeClaire). If he just had some freak injuries last year and is a healthy top 6 forward for us, hooray! I just have a pessimistic feeling he wont get to play much... nothing to back it up, just a feeling. | ||

The Oilers and the Lightning are going to be fun to watch this upcoming season.

I admit I don't know Methot (can someone who follows the West more closely help me out here?), and his stats are from a weak Columbus team, but it looks to me like we got the short end of that trade. I think Foligno was growing into a decent second liner (I personally believe he could hit 20 goals easy if he was on the second line all year), he had grit, worked hard, still fairly young, and was just fun to watch. Yes, it clears up room for more prospects, and hopefully Methot meshes well with the D this year... but right now I'm not a fan of this trade.

When I think about the Senators one of the first names that comes to mind is Nick Foligno. It's going to be weird seeing him in a CBJ jersey. | ||
