Of course once again Regier sits around with his thumb up his butt and won't make any deals on free agents... I hate you Sabres!
And why the hell aren't we offering our best veteran leader, in Grier, a contract? I hate you Sabres!

I agree with pretty much everything you said, but I would still like to see him with the Oilers for one more year. There was some nice chemistry at times. Right now, everyone is getting inked at way more than they are worth, or so it seems. So while I agree that he isn't worth that much, that is probably what they are offering him - if they are offering him anything at all!Originally posted by: iRONic

I'm surprised Samsonov is still out there...maybe he wants too much?
I wouldn't offer him more than $2.75 if I were K.Lowe. He probably wants at least 3.5.
Sammy's overrated.
Watching him in Boston for his entire career gave me fits. He consistantly lost the puck stick handling in the offensive zone. He doesn't have great speed, and he brings nothing to the table physically because of his small size. He's also injury-prone. Even though MOC got hosed when he dealt him to the Oil, I was glad to see him go.
Yeah, he did score some pretty goals, but I don't think he's even worth $2.75mil/year.

With Lupul coming in, and Reasoner signed, there will be a couple guys edged out. Sammy and Peca look to be the first two to go, but we'll have to see.
I can't believe the Canucks wouldn't offer Carter at least 2.5.
Like I said... I'd try to keep that line together but that's just me![]()

They probably want to get him down to 2 - 2.5 range but I think he wants 3 million over 3 years. Eventhough he clicked with the Sedins........ I think if you put any half deecent player on that line and he will be like Carter.

The Detroit Red Wings have offered forward Brendan Shanahan one- and two-year deals each worth approximately $4 million per season, almost double the $2.28 million Shanahan made last year. Other teams interested are reported to be Boston, the New York Rangers, Montreal and Los Angeles. - Detroit Free Press and Detroit News

Bruins sign centre Mowers to 2-year deal
Anyone know anything about this guy? I can see his stats at TSN, but I've never really heard of him, but I know how good the Wings are at drafting young talent, so I'm thinking this is a positive signing?
Also, what's up with the Sabres?
They get all the way to the conference finals, take it 7 games with Carolina, and now all their free agents are bolting or filing for arbitration?
Also saw this in today's Ice Chips..

Man, 4 million per season?? Will the B's have enough to match that under the cap?
According to a knowledgeable source, the possibility of free agent winger Brendan Shanahan signing with the B?s is now dead. Reportedly, St. Louis and Detroit are in the running for the 37-year-old?s services.

At his alleged asking price of ~5mil/year I'm glad they might be passing. Looks like his agent's trying to get somebody to over pay. Shanny's good, just not 5 million good.

Talk about misinformation. I wasn't going to say anything about it because I chose to ignore it, but since you are calling me annoying, I figure now's the time to bring it up. All of our free agents aren't bolting. McKee left because he got $4 million a year, which is way more than he should get, IMO. Of course Buffalo, who have their own self-imposed salary cap, aren't going to match that ridiculous salary. Grier is the only other player on the team to leave, and he left to be closer to family. As far as all the arbitration filings, that happens all the time with Buffalo. Not to say I like it, but they always give very low qualifying offers, and aren't surprised when players want to take it to arbitration. Additionally, of the players going to arbitration, only a few are likely to be paid anything significantly higher than was already offered, with Danny Briere topping that list.
