I thought about cutting and pasting it but the list is too long and improperly formatted.

As far as the Leafs' unrestricted free agents... you can have them. For that matter, as far as their restricted free agents go, you can have them too. Carlo would be the most interesting and he is only one more concussion away from being done.

Window Title "Potentla NHL Fr..." don't they spell check these things :p

The leafs need someone really bad but I don't think MLSE will spring the extra cash for brand name hockey player, theres prob. not enough room in the cap especially since we're stuck with the likes of Bryan McCabe and Co. for the next 5 years

Im guessing this is the best place to put trade news.

Samsonov traded to Hawks

Wasn't Samsonov meant to be a good player? He was drafted 8th in the 97 draft pick.

On another note, perhaps this thread would be the best place to discuss draft day news like last minute trades and the draft itself?

Toskala traded to toronto

I bet Fred's happy, they finally have a decent goalie. Vokoun was traded to florida as well.

He's only slated to backup Raycroft. Perhaps he'll put some serious pressure on Raycroft though. J.S. Aubin was never going to be made the #1 goalie in Toronto.

Apparently the real clincher was Mark Bell. I personally thought we had enough mediocre wingers but at least here he has a chance of being a top line winger (just because we don't have anyone else to push him further down the roster).

Toronto also re-signed Carlo Colaiacovo to an insane amount on money. To me he seems like someone who is only one more concussion away from being a Brett Lindros. I don't think they made it an incentive laden contract either. Perhaps you can't even do that with restricted players.

Fred, I think Philly is spending is attempting to buy themselves back to the top. Which will not happen.

I'm interested to see what the Vancouver Canucks will do, Nonis needs to make some changes upfront if he wants us to contend for the cup next year. I think the best way will be to remove Naslund, if that's possible... :/

Joe Thornton signed with Sharks for 3 year $21.6 million extension this morning.

I haven't heard of any actual free agent signings yet. Keith Tkachuk was traded to (and then "re-"signed with) St. Louis. There was another trade today too:The Boston Bruins acquired goaltender Manny Fernandez from the Minnesota Wild for right winger Petr Kalus and a fourth-round draft pick in 2009

Fred, Philly is spending is attempting to buy themselves back to the top. Which will not happen.
In the salary cap era you cannot buy your way to the top. You need to make smart decisions with your cap space. Signing good but not great players to top-tier money doesn't seem that smart to me.

Yes, this seems to be a good source (you can vote if you like or hate the deal too):http://www4.sportsnet.ca/nhl_signings_2007/

Daniel Briere has rounded down his choices to 5 teams. It's believed Montreal, Los Angeles, and Philadelphia are among those 5.

He (Daniel Briere) has apparently signed with Philly.

Mathieu Schneider also signed with Anaheim (2 years@$5.625 million)

The Rangers has issued a press release saying they have signed both Gomez and Drury :D

Drury signing: http://www.newyorkrangers.com/pressbox/pre...ses.asp?id=2951

I hope they resign Shanny. It looks like Nylander is going some where else.

    • Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June games showcase week has been a packed one, with everything from major presentations like Sony and Summer Game Fest to indie-focused reveals coming in almost every day. Now, it's almost time for another big one, with Microsoft bringing its Xbox Games Showcase back later today. This is a double feature too, with a Gears of War E-Day deep dive also being attached to it. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase is kicking off at 10 AM PT | 1 PM ET | 6 PM BST | 7 PM CEST later today, June 7. The event will be available to watch on the official Xbox YouTube (4K 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, Steam, Amazon Live, and other portals. Separate livestreams for American Sign Language and Audio Description will also be available. "This year marks 25 years of XBOX, and this Showcase is poised to be a true celebration, offering world premieres, new gameplay, fresh updates, and more for a swathe of projects we cannot wait to share," said Microsoft about this presentation. With a new CEO behind it that is pulling off some interesting moves, Xbox may have some surprises to reveal today. New looks at first-party games like Halo Campaign Evolved from Halo studios, Fable from Playground Games, InXile Entertainment's Clockwork Revolution, Mojang's Minecraft Dungeons II, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 from Infinity Ward are to be expected here. We may finally get to see the new Blade from Arcane Studios in action and a new Persona game from Atlus at the showcase too. Surprise announcements may also arrive from other Microsoft-owned studios like Bethesda, MachineGames, Ninja Theory, Obsidian, Rare, World's Edge, or Blizzard. Considering how every new release nowadays is staying away from November and December to avoid Grand Theft Auto VI's release, any launch dates Microsoft announces will probably skip those months as well. Once the Xbox Games Showcase ends, Microsoft will immediately kick off the Gears of War: E-Day Direct. This deep dive into the upcoming prequel from The Coalition should attach gameplay footage and perhaps a release window to the highly anticipated project.

    • 007 First Light review: Satisfying spy adventure that James Bond needed

      By Nick H. · Posted

      So after some fiddling I was able to get it to run at a pretty stable 30FPS. I'm slightly surprised about how much fiddling I had to do to get there though given what I thought was reasonable hardware: Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics Memory: 16 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor 1: AMD Radeon 780M Graphics Graphics Processor 2: AMD Radeon RX 7700S I think I could do it better if I use Linux rather than Windows, Windows RAM usage is stupid without stripping the system down. But once I got it working in a reasonable state, it was so awesome! I felt like a new Bond! If anyone has any advice to get things going a bit smoother FPS-wise, I'd appreciate it.
