[NHL] Free agent season begins July 1st


Recommended Posts

No chance Shanahan remains in New York now. The Rags have near $42M in cap space taken up with 15 players, not to mention Lundqvist is RFA and needs to be re-signed. No way Shanny returns to NYR.

Ryan Smyth has signed a 5 year, $31.25M contract with the Colorado Avalanche.

All I can say for Oilers fans is...ouch.

Hell yeah!!! I was hoping the avs were going to sign a big name free agent :D

lol colorado... very nice!

i like what Philly and Pittsburgh has done with their team

i hate the habs, specifically gainey. You give hamrlik 5.5 million and you can't throw souray 6? wow, what a gm we have

Would you rather have Bouillon and Dandenault as our 2nd pairing? I sure as hell wouldn't. I'd rather overpay for a #2/3 defenseman than have those 2 clowns as the #3 and 4 guys.

why pay Souray 6M? So he can put up a -30 again? The guy was a pylon in the defensive zone. One of the bigger guys in the league who barely used his body.

I'm sick of watching highlight real goals where Souray gets burned.

After Gomez, Briere and Ryan Smyth (Shanahan and Elias last season) turned down more money from the Habs to sign elsewhere for cheaper, it was evident that UFAs do not want to play in Montreal because of taxes, the media circus, french language and irrational fans who boo their players for every minute mistake. Be glad that we actually landed a player. I'd be ###### my pants if we started the season with Bouillon as our #3 defenseman behind Markov and Komisarek. Hamrlik isn't bad at all and can hold his own in the defensive zone. Something which Souray was never able to do.

48 of his 64 points came on the powerplay which isn't going to help his +/-

Before last year he was a career +1 so that would suggest that Montreal simply overused and/or under-supported him last year.

I wouldn't be surprised to see his +/- rebound with whatever team he ends up with.

It probably would, but it doesn't help the fact that Souray is a pylon in the defensive zone. I'm sure a lot of his pluses that don't get counted for on the PP would be negated by GA on the PK anyways. And Markov & Komisarek put up respectable +/- and played more minutes. He's a one trick pony. If you're looking for PP goals, then Souray is your man. Just don't expect much defense out of him. Oh, the team that signs Souray should also look forward to a lot of PKs for his stupid penalties. He turned down $5.5M from Montreal, so anyone else looking to pay $6M for a PP specialist who can't QB the PP, Souray is you're man.

you are right, montreal has had a terrible defensive team for years, yeah souray isn't great at defense but it's not like it just his fault the habs give up 30+ shots a game.

    • New Outlook for Windows and Web is getting a simple but very useful email feature by Sayan Sen Recently Microsoft put up a blog post highlighting not one, not two, but 15 total reasons why it feels you should switch to New Outlook already. If that was not enough, the company is bringing another new feature soon that could finally compel you to switch over to the new app. According to a recent update on the Microsoft 365 roadmap, the tech giant is making changes to how message sorting works when users choose criteria besides the traditional options of From, Subject, or Date Received. The idea is to provide better options for the attribute being used for sorting and make it easier to understand why messages appear in a particular order. For those unfamiliar Outlook already allows users to sort emails using a variety of fields including sender, category, importance, subject, and message size. Users can access these options through the Filter menu in Outlook for Windows and Outlook on the web. With the upcoming change, whenever users sort by a field other than From, Subject, or Date Received, Outlook will automatically display an additional column showing the value being used for the sort. For example, if messages are sorted by Size, a Size column will appear in the message list, allowing users to immediately see the data that determines the ordering of emails. Microsoft believes this should make sorting behavior simpler and reduce the need to manually adjust views or inspect individual messages. Support for sorting by Flag Due Date is also coming and should be especially be helpful for users who rely on email flags to manage follow-up tasks and deadlines. The feature is listed under Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 564803 and is expected to reach general availability beginning later this month itself (June 2026). You can find the entry here. As always though, users should keep in mind that roadmap timelines can change and rollout schedules may occasionally be adjusted by Microsoft. Outlook for Web is also set to receive this feature.
    • That is true. but the liability side of my balance sheet is clean and has been for decades.  Nobody comes a knocking,  calling or writing harassing me for the money i owe them.😎👍  Haven't dealt with "a money changer" in decades and like Jesus it was in Jerusalem.  Don't have much money, but have even less stress in my life.👍👍     P.S.  Sorry, can't walk on water or change it to wine, 
    • Maybe ? DLSS Swapper (can swap the DLSS/FSR/XeSS versions) as long as the game (typically online/competitive) doesn't checks for file tampering. You can try different version(s) or update if not the current version of the FSR. https://github.com/beeradmoore/dlss-swapper
