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.

  • 2 weeks later...

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)

Scott Gomez has signed with the Rangers :D

Sportsnet.ca is saying that Drury has signed with the Rangers as well: http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/article.jsp...701_162329_4180

Edited by Steffan

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

Gomez signing: http://www.newyorkrangers.com/pressbox/pre...ses.asp?id=2952

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

The Leafs signed Jason Blake from the NYI. 5 years @ $4 million dollars per

Is this guy going to be worth that kind of money when he is 38 (at the end of the contract)?

why did the leafs sign this guy?

i rather see Kariya sign with the leafs than blake...

    • Oh, of course not. The real "victims" are the people who snipe kids in the head, have killed more journalist than all the worlds wars combined, do double tap strikes on medical personnel, claim history started on October 7th, have a $700 million dollar annual Hasbara budget and pay influencers $7k a post to spout exactly this kind of propaganda. How dare you question the most moral army in the world. Victimhood belongs to these genocidal freaks alone. Anyone who denies that is literally Hitler. If you're going to support a terrorist state, the least you could do is come up with better talking points.
    • Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Right as the Xbox Games Showcase came to an end today, The Gears of War developer The Coalition took over to show off its next project: E-Day. This prequel project was announced back in 2024, but now we have a lot more details about its campaign, new gameplay mechanics, and even a release date. The studio says this is the first time it has managed to get the time to build the entire game in a new engine, as it had worked non-stop on new titles for years while porting classic code and assets. With Unreal Engine 5 now powering Gears of War: E-Day, The Coalition says it started completely anew, with all assets, animations, environments, and others being built from scratch. The campaign will take place across three days in the city of Kalona. The story will follow the events through the eyes of Bravo Squad. This is made up of the returning classic duo Marcus and Dom, as well as the new characters Mags Carter and Lucas Reyes. Watch the trailer below to see Marcus in action without his iconic armor and gear, just as the Locust invasion kicks off. The story will draw on classic Gears novels like Aspho Fields as well, with the studio even collaborating with author Karen Traviss. "That continuity is what makes the destruction land," says the studio. "In E-Day, you watch a living city torn apart—homes still lit, meals half-finished—while people abandon their cars and run for cover. Small details—a child’s toy, an uneaten dinner—make the loss real as everyday places collapse under the Locust assault." The movement system is getting a big overhaul here. Players will be able to slide while running, jump across gaps, climb head-height covers, and even crawl on the ground to avoid fire from enemies. As for the returning horde mode, The Coalition teased a new 12-player PvE mode. This will involve three squads of Gears going up against the incoming Locusts in larger city maps than usual. The studio says that it is going to reimagine the classic formula just as co-op games are going through a resurgence. Multiplayer was touched on today too, where Versus is coming back touting four versus four Gears PVP action set across Kalona maps. More details about multiplayer will be revealed later. Open beta weekends are kicking off this August for fans wanting to jump in early too. Gears of War: E-Day is releasing on Xbox Series X|S and PC on October 6 with pre-orders available now. It will also be a part of Xbox Game Pass on day one. Microsoft has confirmed this as an Xbox platform exclusive, as there are no plans to bring it to PlayStation or Switch.
    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.
    • I'm missing the beginning part of this equation... but for the sake of the convo, you don't get to take a $250(?) set of normally priced RAM, jack it up to over $500/600/800 just because of a market shift, then lower it back down to more than what it was originally and call that a "sale". Not the author of this post... the manufacturer/seller.
