[Bront]

You missed the years on these deals. 6 mil over 1 year, to 6 mil over 4 years.

 

[Teflon Billy]

I want Vancouver to sign Roman Hamrlik for say 1.5-2 mil

ANson Carter is another player I'd like to see here (or back in Edmonton where he really came into his own)

 

[Bront]

I must say, I am impressed with the Blackhawk's signings so far. Too bad I'll hardly ever have a chance to see them actualy play.

 

[devilbat]

I must say, I am impressed with the Blackhawk's signings so far.

The Blackhawks are trying very hard to improve their team, and they have succeeded. It's just too bad the top flight players, with the exception of Khabibulin, have avoided the team like the plague. Forsberg was offered more money by the Hawks, then Philly offered, but he politely declined.

 

[Crothian]

I like how one person called this a "Real life fantasy draft!!"

 

[Nightfall]

Finally! The Borg has come BACK to Philly! Too bad it's been AFTER his best years are mostly behind him.

 

[Tuzenbach]

Palffy's a real @ss for not re-signing with the Kings. No, I'm not bitter!
