That FA list is enough to make one drool. Patrick Elias? Mark Savard? Rob Blake? Hall Gill, Jay McKee, Frank Kaberle, Matt Cullen, Doug Weight, Mark Parrish, Kim Johnsson? Nice.

Sakic is resigned, of course. Lidstrom will, too, I'm sure. And here's hopin' the Habs nab Arnott (Gainey, Carbo and Muller should be able to persuade him to join them).

And speaking of the Habs, I'm doing a happy dance with Huet resigned.

Ah yes, thanks for the reminder about Sakic. If you see any other names on the lists that have signed then let me know.

And I expect Lidstrom to play the UFA field. He's going to get UNBELIEVABLE offers from almost everyone. The only way Detroit keeps him is if they offer him the moon. (I doubt they'll do that.) Loyalty could play a facot, but hockey players can be quite "unpredictable".

Arnott would be someone that I'd hope the Oilers would go after, but the asking price might be too high. He's been here before so he knows the city, but, you never know, that could turn out to be a hindrance.

And the latest news is that Toronto is REALLY interested in getting Pronger, but Lowe asked for Alexander Steen to be included in a package with Tomas Kaberle and Mat Stajan, and the Leafs said no way. :p

The other Pronger rumor I've heard is that he'll go to Florida for a package deal that includes Jay Bouwmeester. I would expect such a deal to include other top notch Florida talent as Nathan Horton and/or Stephen Weiss. I'd really like Martin Gelinas to come back to Edmonton too.

Cheers!

Blackhawks buy out Barnaby, Brown
Associated Press
6/26/2006 7:54:53 PM

CHICAGO (AP) - Chicago Blackhawks general manager Dale Tallon announced Monday that the club has bought out the contracts of forwards Matthew Barnaby and Curtis Brown.

"Matthew and Curtis are two classy guys who represented the Blackhawks very well," said Tallon.

"However, we are moving in another direction right now. We certainly appreciate everything they did for us last year."

Brown and Barnaby were both supposed to earn $1.33 million US for the 2006-07 season.

The deadline to make qualifying offers is Friday with players becoming unrestricted free agents beginning Saturday.

Barnaby appeared in 82 games for the Blackhawks last season registering 28 points (8-20-28) and 178 penalty minutes, while posting a plus/minus rating of -11.

Brown appeared in 71 games for the Blackhawks last season registering 15 points (5-10-15) and 38 penalty minutes while posting a plus/minus rating on -9.
 

Bruins deal Boynton to Coyotes for Mara

GLENDALE, ARIZONA --- The Boston Bruins have traded defenceman Nick Boynton and a 4th round draft choice in 2007 to the Phoenix Coyotes in exchange for defenceman Paul Mara and a 3rd round draft choice in either the 2007 or 2008.

"You need only look at the physical components of the elite teams in the Western Conference to know that the addition of a young, hard-nosed two-way defenseman is a plus for our hockey club," said Coyotes general manager Michael Barnett.

Last season, the 6-foot-2, 210-pound Boynton played 54 games with Boston, collecting 12 points. Boynton also ranked second on the team with 93 penalty minutes and averaged 20:38 minutes of ice time per game which ranked third among all Bruins.

The 27-year-old native of Nobleton, Ontario had his best season in 2003-04, when he recorded 30 points and 98 penalty minutes in 81 games with Boston. Boynton represented the Bruins at the 2004 NHL All-Star Game.

The 26-year-old Mara played 78 games with the Coyotes last season, recording 47 points and 70 penalty minutes.

In five seasons with Phoenix, the 6-foot-4, 219-pound blueliner, registered 142 points and 268 penalty minutes in 323 games.

Mara was originally drafted by the Tampa Bay Lightning, seventh overall in the 1997 draft.

Okay, the Wild re-signed Bouchard. I think that's it.

That list is just the American teams, too. Ottawa and Vancouver have some great UFAs, too. This weekend should be interesting.

Is it just me, or is Doug MacLean pretty much admitting he's already discussed signing other teams' FAs (either with the agent or player, he's not that specific) before the July 1st deadline? Isn't that technically illegal? Not saying it doesn't happen, but that's just a slap in the face of the NHL to openly admit it...

I think it's going to be tough for anyone to pry Marty out of Florida, especially now the Panthers have Big Bert and Auld. And if Pronger goes there, look out, the Panthers could be the sleepers in that division in 2006-07.
