[NHL] Official Buyout & Signings Thread


Recommended Posts

the capitols don't even really have a team i think i read on HTR they have 8 players signed...definitly not enough for a team

After they dumped all of their veterans I think they're starting a rebuilding phase. I wouldn't be surprised if they follow along in the footsteps of Ottawa and start stockpiling talent from their farm team and other young guys...

I think this season is going to be Pittsburgs season. man what a team they got (or bought)

It is looking promising! (Pens are my favorite team.) I'm still trying to figure out how they got the money to afford all of that. I know Mario made them profitable again, but Pittsburgh doesn't exactly bring in a ton of revenue.

I have some reservations though:

Sidney Crosby - Hearled as the second coming. I'll believe it when I see it though, and he has to keep it up. Halpurn made an excellent start in Washington only to peter out later in the season.

Mario Lemieux - I know he's playing again, (again!) and I'd still love to see him, but it remains to be seen how long he lasts in the season.

I think aquiring Sergei Gonchar was a good move (not the least of which he was my favorite Capitals player.) as he'll put some punch on the blue line. I believe he lead the league in scoring for defenceman last season (or at least for a while. He was passed by someone from Detroit now that I think about it. Stayed towards the top though.)

I see Mark Recci is on the team now. Interesting.

Hopefully the rest of the team has some half-decent talent or at least the teamwork to backup their newly aquired stars. Too often teams drop a ton of cash to buy all-stars only to see them fall apart on the ice. ::cough, cough New York Rangers, cough::

well my only concern with Lemieux is his health, otherwise even at 75% his stats are amazing. In 03-04 he played 10games and managed 9pts. In 02-03 he played 62 games and managed 91pts and the year prior, in 43 games he put out 76pts! Thats not bad considering he wasnt playing for 3-4yrs prior to that. I think if he can manage a good 40games, the Pens will be in great shape, and if he doesnt, there is a lot of solid offensive power to rely on besides him. Recchi, Palffy, Crosby and Gonchar has never shyed away from putting the puck in the net either.

Ever since they drafted Crosby, people want to play there.

not to mention that season ticket sales have shot up like crazy. Hopefully this bodes well. I see teams like Chicago, Pheonix, LA, Anaheim, Columbus, Florida, Tampa all make great strides in developing their team which i think, these markets will further develop hockey as a primary sport once again

It will be a massive improvement, but I don't see them as a Cup contender. No defense and the T-bolt addition wasn't exactly a good one, if you ask me.

ok i was just watching the news and they are saying that the leafs are looking at singing Anson Carter :o omfg & and to make it sweeter they are trying to fit in Lindros

man if this happens i am gona go nuts n i so doubted furgeosion

I'd like to see Anson Carter here.

a) He's a power forward.

b) He is from Toronto.

c) He has the cool dreads.

Anyone know why he dropped to 28 points in 2003-2004 after having two 60 point seasons in a row? Did he have a nagging injury?

Has Toronto ever had a black hockey player?

He's not exactly an amazing scorer or anything... he's more relied on for his power. He had 2 or 3 good seasons... it could really go any way with him -- lots of points, few points, whatever.

Boston Bruins - Re-signed forwards Sergei Samsonov and P.J. Axelsson to one-year qualifying offers.

Columbus Blue Jackets - Signed centre Jan Hrdina, who had been with the New Jersey Devils, to a one-year contract.

Minnesota Wild - Re-sign defenceman Andrei Zyuzin.

Ottawa Senators - Re-signed forwards Martin Havlat (one-year deal) and Mike Fisher (three-year deal).

Toronto Maple Leafs - Re-signed forward Wade Belak and defenceman Aki Berg.

Vancouver Canucks - Re-signed left wing Daniel Sedin and center Henrik Sedin to one-year contracts.

Washington Capitals - Signed unrestricted free agent defencemen Mathieu Biron and Ivan Majesky.

apparently he (Carter) is doing his physical with the leafs and will most likely sign by Friday.

586359509[/snapback]

I heard Lindros was likewise doing his physical with Toronto. He is interested in a one year deal of at least $1.5 million.

well i guess that was true, Lindros is now a leaf, but there are a tonne of incentives on his contract

Boston Bruins - Re-signed restricted free-agent Joe Thornton to three-year contract.

Dallas Stars - Re-signed forwards Niko Kapanen and Steve Ott to one-year qualifying offers.

Montreal Canadiens - Re-signed restricted free agents forward Mike Ribeiro (one-year), defenceman Mike Komisarek (one-year)and goaltender Jaroslav Halak (three-years) to contracts.

New York Islanders - Signed unrestricted free-agent defenceman Brad Lukowich to a two-year deal.

Ottawa Senators - Re-signed restricted free-agent goaltender Ray Emery to a one-year contract.

Phoenix Coyotes - Re-sign defenseman Derek Morris to one-year qualifying offer.

San Jose Sharks - Re-signed defenseman Kyle McLaren to a three-year contract extension. Re-signed restricted free agent right winger Niko Dimitrakos to a two-year contract.

Toronto Maple Leafs - Signed unrestricted free agent Eric Lindros to a one-year contract

586358206[/snapback]

lol, fuhr is black??? doens't look very black to me. i just asked my black friends, and they said he's not either :p

honestly i had no idea. thats cool though, he was a hell of a goalie.

and why is toronta signing all these old guys? lindros is done if you ask me...

Any rumors you guys are seeing/hearing on my Flyers? We look good, but I'm afraid if someone gets injured we may not have enough cap room to get anyone ...

586363454[/snapback]

the flyers good :s r u sure cause it seems like they rn't bringing back ppl

i duno bout the flyers

if was to put money on a team right now it would probally be boston

586363454[/snapback]

LOL i think the Flyers are fine. They just re-signed Esche who played great. They got a couple of young guns in the minors who im pretty sure would step up if someone got injured, but you guys r really gonna fly this year. It may be your year. That Philly/Pittsburgh rivalry is gonna be heated this season.

    • 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.
