Free Agency is Upon Us Pt. 4

  • Jose Theodore has signed with the Caps. I wonder with Huet will go? This is a strange signing to me but apparently Huet was asking for far too much and Theodore was the next best option.
  • Former Caps goaltender Olaf Kolzig has reportedly signed with Tampa Bay. Jesus, how can they still afford these players?
  • Kurt Sauer has signed with Phoenix.
  • The Canucks reportedly offered Mats Sundin $10 million/season for two season. Can you spell desperation?
  • Andrew Raycroft and Darcy Tucker have both signed with The Avalanche.
  • Montreal has locked up Andrei Kostitsyn. Great signing.
  • Ty Conklin signed on to back up Chris Osgood in Detroit.
  • Forward Todd Fedoruk signed in Phoenix.
  • Jeff Finger signed a 4 year $14 million deal in Toronto. Good signing but they gave him too much.
  • Tampa Bay signs yet another forward, Adam Hall formerly of the Penguins. Dan Boyle must be on the move soon.
  • Christobal Huet departs Washington for Chicago to the tune of 4 years at $5.625/season
  • Veteran Defenseman Corey Stillman signed with the Florida Panthers for a deal worth $10 over 3 years.
  • The Senators signed Alex Auld for $1 million over 2 seasons.
  • Mirtle has this one: "Vancouver has broken the offer sheet seal for 2008, signing Blues centre David Backes to a three-yea, $7.5 million potential contract. St. Louis would receive only a second pick in return for one of its promising youngsters, so I can't imagine they don't match given all of their available cap space. GM Mike Gillis isn't making any new friends in the league." Well said.
  • The Sabres get their back up for Ryan Miller in the form of veteran goaltender Patrick Lalime for $1 million a year for 2 years. Its a little much for a guy who will play 15-20 games behind Miller but as long as he plays better than Thibault, I wont complain.
