Lol, I just came back to ask if you guys are expected to be busy.

Yeah, B's, I really wouldn't be surprised if Chia was just sitting on his hands right now. I can't see him signing anyone until this kessel thing gets resolved.


This is the only draw back of having good teams. They don't need to look into free agency to sign players.

NHL Live said Komiserik to the Island but not official yet.

Well, maybe I should stop with the hossa bashing, as bruins are still really trying for him

http://www.boston.com/sports/hockey/bru ... he_hu.html

I don't see it happening. But would have to welcome him aboard. I DO love seeing the bruins making an effort to sign somewhere big.

Wow. Well then, Hossa is your typical cup chaser. Detroit and Chicago, that's like Boston-New York, right? Good rivalry. Wow.

Hossa went from Pittsburgh to Detroit, went to a team he just lost to in the cup finals, then goes from Detroit to Chicago, a big rivalry that is starting up again. Wow.

CC, at 2, in case you didn't know, the NHL Network is airing TSN's free agent coverage.

Thanks. Yeah I've been watching NHL network. Even though nothing big with the b's will happen. And I see rob simpson. I can't believe NESN fired him and replaced him with some terrible reporter.

Hossa and the sedins down. Who's the biggest name out there. Komi??

TSN is saying the Hossa deal is lengthy deal. Bob Mc is saying the cap hit will be a shade over $5 mil.

Kovalev to Montreal isn't done yet, but it's gonna be. (hopefully)

As for Komo, he's going to get vastly overpaid in my opinion.

And I have work in an hour and a half - if Gainey doesn't do anything today I'm on the bandwagon to fire him.

Monty and the B's just didn't work out. Too bad because he seemed like a great guy.

We could lose another d-man as well, hunwick is getting a lot of play.

I thought Montador played like crap for the B's in the playoffs. Heard about Hunwick. That would be a pretty big loss. At least you'd probably get nice compensation back though.
