Bump!

The NHL salary cap just went up to 50.3M which is a little more than was expected. Use it wisely, Slats.

This gives us more flexibility then originally thought. I see Slats being very active this weekend.

 
At 11:13 AM, Blogger Kalel9 said...

So do I.

 
At 11:15 AM, Blogger Michael said...

I have heard that we may make a run at Souray, but I am having a hard time thinking he wants to come here based on his personal life.

 
At 11:16 AM, Blogger Kalel9 said...

I'm not crazy about Souray.

 
At 11:18 AM, Blogger Michael said...

I think he is too one dimensional. Granted its the one dimension we need a powerplay point shot.. I think he is a liability on D.

 
At 11:24 AM, Blogger Michael said...

I think this news puts us in an even better position to try and land both Drury and Gomez

 
At 11:27 AM, Blogger Kalel9 said...

So do I. I'd do that, then investigate the trade market.

 
At 11:30 AM, Blogger Michael said...

Someone like Zidlicky or Weber would work with the Preds in sell mode. I do think we will explore the trade market for D, as the FA's are not overly impressive.

 
At 11:31 AM, Blogger Michael said...

I am taking a cautiously optimistic approach to this weekend. Phil have you or Dan heard anything new on NYR front?

 
At 11:39 AM, Blogger Kalel9 said...

There's a rumor that we're sending Montoya to Phoenix for Jovo.

 
At 11:44 AM, Blogger Michael said...

Jovo if healthy would be the perfect answer. His contract and injury issues worry me. I would really investigate that if I was Slats. I would want more from Phoenix as insurance. The contract and injury worries scare me a little..

aight then

 
At 11:32 AM, Blogger Kalel9 said...

I hear the Yanks are gonna have a big day in IFA when it opens Monday.

 
At 11:58 AM, Blogger Michael said...

Good afternoon guys. We should start to hear things later tonight..

 
At 11:59 AM, Blogger Kalel9 said...

UFA doesn't open till noon tomorrow, though. Are you talking about trades or likely signings?

 
At 12:02 PM, Blogger Michael said...

Likely signings. "Officially" it opens at noon tomorrow, but things may get out early. TSN is running a special tomorrow to cover it.

 
At 2:15 PM, Blogger Michael said...

Dan have you heard anything new? I now keep hearing Souray... I hope Gomez does not go to LA!!!

 
At 2:24 PM, Blogger Kalel9 said...

I don't want Souray.

 
At 2:28 PM, Blogger Michael said...

I don't want him either. I want Gomez to start...

 
At 2:28 PM, Anonymous Anonymous said...

they have one focus as of right now and its all on gomez

 
At 2:29 PM, Blogger Michael said...

I keep hearing that LA is in the picture, so we will have to up efforts in order to win out..

 
At 2:30 PM, Blogger Kalel9 said...

The Kings suck. He better want to be a Ranger.

 
At 2:33 PM, Blogger Michael said...

We are supposedly willing to pay more then 6 per year to get Gomez. Problem is LA may go higher...

 
At 2:51 PM, Anonymous Anonymous said...

He fucking hates LA and doesnt want to go, he wants to stay East Coast, but if LA offers 7.5-8 a year then the man will find reason to love LA

 
At 2:54 PM, Blogger Michael said...

I heard also that we may and I stress may be willing to go as high as 8 for Gomez...

 
At 3:02 PM, Anonymous Anonymous said...

thats the only team Rangers are afraid of..the rangers will go 7 a year, but LA might go 8-8.5

 
At 3:04 PM, Blogger Michael said...

Makes no sense for LA, they are rebuilding. They are not close to winning anything. I'd like to think a mill or so less, chance to win, and Shanny will win us Gomez's services.

 
At 3:07 PM, Blogger Kalel9 said...

Kings might have a better match with Drury.

 
At 3:13 PM, Blogger Michael said...

That's what I keep hearing Drury to LA or SJ.

 
At 8:53 PM, Blogger Michael said...

Preising is another name that has come up this evening

 
At 8:54 PM, Blogger Kalel9 said...

Now we're hearing Preising?

 
At 8:56 PM, Blogger Michael said...

Yes as a back-up to Souray. I still have no idea why they even want him. I hope this report I got was un-true. I think our best bet is to go hard for Drury/Gomez and trade for D.

 
At 8:57 PM, Blogger Kalel9 said...

I agree with you, and I want the kids to get a shot on D.

 
At 9:01 PM, Blogger Michael said...

Baranka if he can stay healthy is going to be a good one. Staal and Sauer also. Not too sure on Sanguinetti yet. Isn't it nice though to once be able to talk about prospects in abundance with potential to make our team and contribute?

 
At 9:04 PM, Blogger Michael said...

Last thing I heard its down to NYR/LA for Gomez. It all depends on if they get Briere and or Drury. I know we are going to make a big offer to him.

 
At 9:05 PM, Blogger Kalel9 said...

Sanguinetti is gonna be great!

 
At 9:09 PM, Blogger Michael said...

Even better! I had not seen too much of him to really comment. We just need to move out the old guard. I hope Pock gets a chance to play more full time, as I think he is under-rated and contribute more then he has been given the chance to

 
At 9:44 PM, Anonymous Anonymous said...

I just recieved a email saying rangers are almost a lock and that they are now willing to go 9 million a year for gomez...im thinking of posting on BBI but if he signs elsewhere ill be killed

 
At 9:46 PM, Blogger Kalel9 said...

keep it here, then. No use getting killed, all I've heard is Gomez, Gomez, Gomez, too.

 
At 9:48 PM, Anonymous Anonymous said...

nylander is signed already, they just dont wanna announce anything till gomez ends

 
At 9:50 PM, Blogger Kalel9 said...

That's what I thought. That Swedish report was right, not wrong, they didn't want to effect the market with an announcement or have other teams go after their main target when they'd rather have them thinking they could get Nylander.

 
At 9:56 PM, Anonymous Anonymous said...

im pretty sure its not as much as the sweedish were reporting(contract number wise)

 
At 9:56 PM, Blogger Kalel9 said...

it couldn't be.

 
At 6:24 AM, Blogger Michael said...

Good Morning Everyone!!

 
At 6:27 AM, Blogger Michael said...

I agree with Phil Dan, no need to subject yourself to getting beaten up. I still am hearing we are a player for Souray as well. Not sure if you have heard that. Preising is also on the radar. Souray is gonna depend on how much Gomez costs. I don't like it myself but I see why they are addressing the D.

good morning it is
