[NHL] Official Buyout & Signings Thread


Recommended Posts

Apparently Koivu isnt what he is made out to be. I hear he's always in arguments with Julien, refusing to follow some of his playmaking decisions, not the greatest of leaders etc... I could care less, Koivu is a good player, but he's no where near as good as Lecavalier. And these are all rumors anyways, so it should be taken with a grain of salt

Gonchar: 5yrs $25m with the pens (overpaid IMO)

Iginla: 3yrs $21m remaining in Calgary

:huh:

Both of those are overpaid, if you ask me. I love Iginla, but I don't think anyone deserves the $7mil/year. That's just me, though... I guess if I were going to pick a few players around the league to give that kind of money to he'd be one of them, though.

here are a tonne of rumors i just came across

LEETCH signs with Boston

Modano rejects offer from Dallas (may be headed to Boston..or minnesota)

Satan to Montreal

Forsberg to Vancouver..trade Sopel to NYI to clear cap space

Pallfy could soon be an Islander again

Berard to Columbus (DONE and Confirmed)

Cujo to Pittsburgh

Burke to Pitt

please take these with a grain or mountain of salt

Islanders sign Satan, deal Peca

The Islanders on Wednesday signed free agent sniper Miroslav Satan, finally adding the high-scoring veteran winger the team has been missing to play next to center Alexei Yashin.

The Islanders followed the signing by trading captain Michael Peca to the Edmonton Oilers for forward Mike York and a conditional draft pick. The trade saves the Islanders $2,166,000 in cap money.

Satan, 30, spent the past eight seasons with the Buffalo Sabres, where he was a consistent 25-to-30 goal scorer. His best season came in 1998-99, when he had 40 goals and 66 points. The Sabres reached the Stanley Cup Finals that season. In 704 NHL games, Satan has 259 goals and 519 points. Since 1997-98, he has never played fewer than 79 games per season.

The Sabres decided not to make a $3.8 million qualifying offer to Satan last week, so he became an unrestricted free agent. The Islanders tried to acquire Satan before the March 2004 trade deadline, but could no complete a deal.

Satan joins former Sabres teammate Alexei Zhitnik, who signed with the Islanders on Tuesday. The Islanders added another defenseman, Brent Sopel, in a trade with the Vancouver Canucks earlier on Wednesday.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.
