Some big names on the move and we're only an hour and a half in... A few others have resigned as well. Add anything you would like....
Gonchar (D) to Ottawa - 3 yrs/$16.5 m - Big move for the Sens... This helps them significantly on the back end.
Z. Michalek (D) to Pittsburgh - 5 yrs/$20 m - Looks like the replacement for Gonchar, but he isn't as good yet. Still, a terrific young D who is locked up for a while. A lot of potential in this guy.
Tanguay (F) resigned with Calgary - 1 yr/$1.7 m - Questionable.... Not worth this much money in my opinion, only had 37 points in 80 games last year. Hasn't done a whole lot in the NHL since leaving Colorado a while ago.
Biron (G) to New York R. - 2 yrs/$1.75 m - Should be a decent backup behind King Henrik...
Paille (F) resigns with Boston - 2 yrs/$2.15 m - Young guy, decent role player.
I'll keep them coming throughout the day for all the hockey fans...
Colby Armstrong (F) to Toronto - 3 yrs/$9 m - Great player for Toronto. Hits and can score for a third liner, should fit in nicely with the Leafs.
Nittymaki (G) to San Jose - 2 yrs/$4 m - Scratching my head on this too... Not a starter. San Jose needs a goalie bad, and this signing won't cut it.
Malholtra (F) to Vancouver - 3 yrs/$7.5 m - Canucks pick up a decent role player here... Won't do much offensively, but is good in the D zone. Played well for San Jose in the playoffs this spring.
Morris (D) resigns with Phoenix - 4 yrs/$11 m - Good keep by the Yotes. Big D, huge shot...
Martin (D) to Pittsburgh - 5 yrs/$25 m - Good D, but was hurt all year last year.
Boogaard (F) to New York R. - 4 yrs/$6 m - No comment. Worst hockey player in the NHL, complete waste of money.
Ellis (G) to Tampa Bay - 2 yrs/$3 m - Big pick up for the Lightning. Stevie Y is trying to make some moves to get TB back to being a winner.
