[KZWings]

Hmm, both Hatcher's back on the Red Wings?

And that Khabibulin news is interesting, didn't hear about that yet.

[Ayepecks]

Turgeon will be bought out by Stars... trust me. Hatcher most likely is gone with the Red Wings.

[bayrider]

So lets keep up to date on what will eventually be a hectic 'offseason' with the new buyout option and lets follow who goes where.

John LeClair and Tony Amonte: were the first to be bought out by Philly

Nikolai Khabibulin: has been reported to go back to Pheonix http://www.rds.ca/hockey/chroniques/184133.html

Pierre Turgeon: rumors show that he will be bought out

Brian Savage: has been bought out by Pheonix (i guess making room for Khabby) http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/s...oyotes0725.html

Derian Hatcher, Darren McCarty and Ray Whitney: placed on waivers, soon to be bought out

lets keep this up to date, i think this is going to be very interesting with all the available talent floating around

[bayrider]

ya, i though Khabibulin would stay, i dunno how good Tampa's goaltending will be now considering Khabibulin played a huge role for Tampa in the playoffs. I dunno how far they can go this season without him.

Wings have gotten rid of Witney, Hatcher and McCartey http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/article.jsp...725_111722_5028

[Steffan]

The Habs have bought out Patrice Brisebois and Gavin Morgan.

http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/article.jsp...725_150354_5932

The Senators won't cut anyone

http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/article.jsp...725_144939_6084

Sakic and Blake are going to stay, but Foote and Forsberg might not

Not for most teams. The teams that can spend won't, and the teams that would spend can't.

[Steffan]

The Stars release Pierre Turgeon and they could buy out his contract if he doesn't sign with another team.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/news/story?id=2117957

[bayrider]

Niedermayer is speaking the Pens apparently, St Louis has given a qualifying offer to Pronger for $7.22m

Niedermayer is speaking the Pens apparently

586284115[/snapback]

Can't blame him... they're going to be a franchise coming back from death -- it'll be good for the fans and the players there.

[Steffan]

The Rangers bought out the remaining contract of Bobby Holik. He was set to make $6.726 million this season.

He shoots left but bats right.

[matthewmarley]

Hey guys i know its of the subject but i played hockey for 11 years over here in the UK then had to give up due to a bad knee injury, and i never get to see it when it was on over here. i know there was some sort os strike and that has now been resolved i think but the question i was wanting answerd is who is the best players in the leauge these days, back when i was playing i loved guys like bret hull, jagr, lemuix, lindros are any of those guys still playing?? one again sorry to go off topic but i was just realy curious.

Thanks

[emo]

I hope the Devils have a good team layout this year...

[-Clark-]

hull being the best of them all. not sure what was up with lemieux though, old guy with disease or whatever, could have played? i'm sure someone who follows the pens would know better than i. lindros...lol he plays for the rangers, not really good at all, not like any of the rangers are good. just big names with no game.

[matthewmarley]

so who would u say is the best playing these days.

[-Clark-]

id say scott gomez(nj) and martin st louis(tampa). though there are tons of good players, those two are personal favourites.

All eyes are going to be on Sydney Crosby. He'll be playing along with Mario Lemieux in Pittsburgh. Jagr is a good player but hasn't performed as well (at least on a consistent basis) away from Mario (Pittsburgh dumped his salary when they were trying to avoid bankrupcy). Eric Lindros was a good all around guy (size, speed, etc...) but he has suffered concussion problems and perhaps is more timid now which limits his effectiveness. Brett Hull is Brett Hull. He'd win the league smartass award hands-down if not for Jeremy Roenick.

While a name change is expected, I don't think they'll change their name to something that is already used by the local baseball team.

[matthewmarley]

is hull still playing and is he still as good as he was i honestly havent seen any NHL in years as im in the UK and we dont get it over here even on cable !!!

586298331[/snapback]

yep, he played last season, not sure what's up with the upcoming one, though he's probably the best player detroit has. though you can't really compare anyone to him, still too good. :yes:
