haha
you cant beat us in the playoffs

but the canadians need a power forward and a d man for sure. they need size. were fast.. .but were also puny

 

[kane9321]

go sharks go sharks..please someone take mike rathje ..please

 

[3dman27]

i think i'll give hockey a try this year last year i tried football and liked it lets see if history repeats itself

 

[Venom Drool]

doesnt matter.. even if no one pcks him up... hes not on san jose any more

 

[kane9321]

wtf venom?...i was just on our website..didnt mention this...u sure

 

[Dark Donnie]

Here we go Flyers!!!!!!!!! Rumors around here are that we are going to sign Niedermeyer!

 

[Venom Drool]

hes unrestricted... that means he has no contract with SJ... anyone can pick him up and offer him any deal they want. thats what unrestricted means... he has no ties to the team

 

[Venom Drool]

bump for those wishing to talk about the draft etc.

 

[Venom Drool]

bruins acquired isbister for a third round pick

 

[John Constantine]

Meh, it's no skin off the Oilers back. He never really panned out like what we wanted him to be, plus he was extremely injury prone

Oh, and Panthers signed the duo of Roberts and Nieuwendyk.

There are rumors that there might be a lot of duo FA signings - Forsberg/Naslund, Lindros/Leclair.....

 

[Venom Drool]

i really doubt florida has the money or team chemistry to do that.. nor do i think players as high caliber as naslund etc would sign with a losing franchise

 

[Slipknot]

haha
you cant beat us in the playoffs

But even though we don't beat you guys... you guys usually lose in the next round anyways, so it all works out.

 

[Slipknot]

bruins acquired isbister for a third round pick

He isn't bad.

 

[Venom Drool]

But even though we don't beat you guys... you guys usually lose in the next round anyways, so it all works out.

ya but we make at least a mllion more so

 

[Slipknot]

ya but we make at least a mllion more so

What does your owner do with that extra million? I didn't see him go out and spend it wisely... so meh.

 

[Venom Drool]

the signings just started

 

[Dark Donnie]

i really doubt florida has the money or team chemistry to do that.. nor do i think players as high caliber as naslund etc would sign with a losing franchise

I think he meant around the league there looks to be alot of duo signings!

I keep reading about players staying in Europe to play this season and not returning!

 

[John Constantine]

i really doubt florida has the money or team chemistry to do that.. nor do i think players as high caliber as naslund etc would sign with a losing franchise

Actually, I'm not saying that Florida will sign them. Just that I wouldn't be surprised to see Forsberg go where Naslund goes. The same with Leclair and Lindros.

There is word that Anaheim is interested in getting Naslund due to the Brian Burke connection......
