If they are past their prime, prone to injury and a former local boy then we want them. We re-signed Doug Gilmour and he played, what, one game for us before going down for good?

I actually don't have a problem signing Eric Lindros at $1.55 million for a one year deal.

Same thing with Allison ($1.5 million for a one year deal) and Carter, if they get him for a one year deal for about the same money.

Yes, they are all long shots but you only need one to stay healthy to get okay value.

And if they don't work out then, well, it's only a one year deal anyway.

thats true, but i dont think lindros will play the whole season, allison might, and they dont have carter yet

if you look at it its lindros + allison= like 25 games between each other

and if u add eddie its like 50 games...they should try and get some younger talent there

I think toronto's time (though i hate to mention it or even think about it) is the next season after all these 1 year and long term contracts expire besides the select few of Sundin. They're going to have virtually no salary, somewhere between 10-15m. Which gives them a good 20m to play around with signing UFA's.

agreed. this is definitly not their season, unless its a cinderella story or they can make some huge moves during the season...but next season when the 1 yr contracts are out, they can look at other free agents, and younger players, beacuse all the older players they have arn't doing much for the team

Yes, the young guys in the system are very good for the flyers, and I can't wait for the Flyers/Pittsburgh games, I'll be at the first one. Toronto will have a tough time this year, but next year will be very good as you said because many contracts expire. Boston and Pittsburgh are in excellent shape right now, and Washington, is ... well ... Washington, always rebuilding :)

"In other news, Panthers goalie Roberto Luongo will head to arbitration."

what does that meen

also other signings:

Val Bure headed to L.A.

flames sings kipprosoff

devils sign langenbrunner, gionta, and brown

the best part of the whole leaf sistuation is that they have 18 players signed and have used 36 million dollars so far. The average roster has about 25-26 players, so you are telling me they are going to sign 7- more players with 3 mil, HA, effin leafs

The Leafs have about 48 guys signed. Half of which will play on the Baby Leafs (now the Toronto Marlies).

The Leafs have signed or committed to about $36.5 million in salary. They are likely done (or close to being done) because they don't want Allison's bonuses to carry over to next season (if he earns them at all). Perhaps we will see Anson Carter but that would be about it.

Jan Bulis re-signs with Montreal. 1 year deal worth $874,000.

TSN.ca reports that Bulis will be making $1.062M. Hmmm, one of the sites is obviously wrong, most likely RDS. Just wanted to correct that before I get flamed for being wrong. :p

Taking into account recent signings and comments from Coach Quinn, this could be the Leafs' lineup on opening night:

Forwards:

Tucker-Sundin-O'Neill

Stajan-Allison-Antropov (three natural centres)

Ponikarovsky-Lindros-Domi

Wilm-Kilger-Belak

Defence:

McCabe-Klee

Kaberle-Khavanov

Berg-Colaiacovo

Goal:

Belfour

Tellqvist

Quinn wants three scoring lines and a left-over line that will only get about 5 minutes a night. The top three lines will have nearly equal playing time. He does not believe in a dedicated checking line to neutralize the opponents big guns on their top line.

I assume Wellwood will be assigned to the Baby Leafs (Toronto Marlies) since it would be wasteful to have a 22 year old play only a few minutes per night on the fourth line.

The paper version of the Star has a totally different layout. I used the online Depth Chart to create mine (and personally, I like it better).

Hamrlik signs with the Flames. I seriously think the flames have a great chance at winning the cup this year. Forget Philly or Pittsburg. Calgary basically has a wall for defence backed up by a great goaltender and the firepower of the US army up front.

offtopic: my cousin signed with the detroit redwings farm team

ontopic: kozlov signs with devils, gratton a panther, islanders sign york and hunter

    • This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.
    • Good, because the nonstop chattering from the voices in her head made me quit the second game.
    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.

    • There might be some passive design improvements (cooling, etc), but I doubt they'd change the core performance spec of the hardware mid-generation when they've already got a new console in development.
    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.
