PrintIt's another beautiful day and we're all waiting for Anaheim to sign Bobby Ryan and LA to sign Kovalchuk.
Use this thread for all your Further Free Agency Discussion (unless another spot pops up or the Bruins make a big deal).

Here's hoping Sather cripples his team further by getting another useless goon and Sutter provides further entertainment. Also, Chiarelli please stay out of the pool, no need to get your feet wet here.
Enjoy!

Real_ESPNLeBrun: Oilers have zero interest in eating half of Souray’s contract via re-entry waivers. They want to lose his full contract on normal waivers.
Won’t they get nothing or is this to set up a trade?

That big LA deal we heard about yesterday never happned.

Some things I've missed, and you might have too:
(from today)
Strudwick, Jason re-signs in Edmonton for 1 year
Kubina, Pavel signs in Tampa Bay $3.85M/per for 2 years.
Jackman, Tim to Calgary for 2 years
Ivanans, Raitis to Calgary for 2 years

I love the bold claim about the Calder
Souray is yet another Defender into the mix, though he’s contract and age are suspect. Then again so was Gonchars
If we can get him for nothing Im all for it. But I get the feeling another team will take him first

He’s solid – the first 2 years will be good. Let’s see what happens in year three, though.

I agree he’s solid but I’m a little surprised an elder statesman like him did so well.
by SkateHitShoot on Jul 2, 2010 12:53 PM EDT up reply actions
He’s been a rock for the Pens defense for the past couple years, and I’d be surprised if there wasn’t a bidding war.
Also, who was a better defenseman available now? Most players at UFA time get overpaid.

B’s probably don’t have cap room, and Souray has said he wants to play out West cause his kids are out there.

The bruins have $893,071 in cap space to play with right now.

The only upside for Souray is a good point shot and last season he broke his hand and injured his wrist which has the risk of weakening said shot. Toss him on the scrap heap but I figure teams will bite if he goes through re-entry waivers.

Kovalchuk!
Kidding.
I’m looking at Yahoo’s Free Agent Tracker, and there doesn’t seem to be too much appeal for the B’s at that position – at least when considering how much cap space they have to work with.

i would completely agree with you if this discussion was happening 5 years ago. Guerins been one of my favorite players for most of his career, but the bruins could really use a 30 goal scorer under the age of 35
Married men should forget their mistakes. Why should 2 people remember the same thing?
Not a whole lot of 30-goal scorers out there.

I’m disappointed there’s no rumours out there to move Ryder instead.
With Jokekinen (pun intended) going back to Calgary it looks like they plugged their #1 centre position with some cotton candy so they are out of the running for Savard.

Good. One less team in the mess.
Yes, I would much rather move Ryder

With Tanguay gone, perhaps Tampa might be looking for help on the wings? Malone pretty much bombed at the end of the season so they might be looking for a body up front.

Yeah Malone had a great first half of the season, but he had an injury at the end of the season. As someone else said somewhere, Ryder is in a contract year so I would keep him and let him play it out. He’ll have a good year and bait another team to sign him just like he did to the Bruins.

Maybe that will make him more attractive, and he’d be my first choice to trade, but he might look too overpaid and underworked!
by SkateHitShoot on Jul 2, 2010 2:35 PM EDT up reply actions
having had him in my hockey pool, I can attest that he dropped off at midseason and did bupkiss after his first of two injuries. Kind of like Lucic. Honestly, I’d consider taking a bag of pucks for Ryder unless he turns it around with being behind a semi-legit #1 RW in Horton.

Who the hell is going to sign him for THAT price?

I figure he’s likely aiming for a long term deal at 8mil/year as he’s still fairly young. He left a lot of money on the table at Atlanta and knew that no one was going to match that kind of money. He wants to go to a contender but he also wants the payola.
