2013 FA Tracker

[Gaucho]

Flyers also signed Adam Hall.

In July...

oops...

[columbia]

It wasn't really a noteworthy event.

[shoeshine boy]

...so? The Penguins have Crosby for $8.7 million and the Ducks have Perry and Getzlaf $8.25 million and the Leafs have Kessel for $8.0 million. Thats an advantage. The advantage doesn't go away because Crosby "could" get more elsewhere.

so Kessel is the Leafs "Crosby" (isn't that sad?) therefore he's going to command "star" money. I didn't say I thought he was worth it. hell, 2 of my fantasy teams auto-drafted him and I'm thinking of trading him because I'm not convinced that I couldn't get someone better. comparing him to Crosby's cap hit is irrelevant because Crosby is making substantially less than he's actually worth. there's not a team in the NHL what wouldn't give Sid $10 M per year if he hit the open market. comparing Kessel to Perry is more reasonable.

Ain't that the truth!

Crosby is the only player in the NHL who could be making league maximum and be worth every penny.

[GSdrums87]

Kessel isn't worth 8 million, I'm sorry. I know he's been top 10 in scoring the past 2 years, but that's just a huge amount for a team that really needs to pay for a supporting cast.

Guillaume Latendresse to ZSC
Kyle Cumiskey to MODO

Kobasew's contract with the pens is for 550k

[mikey287]

Matt Corrente cleared waivers for Carolina.

Ben Eager (EDM), Scott Clemmensen (FLA), Kevan Miller (BOS), Alex Urbom (NJ) on waivers today. I believe Kyle Cumiskey required unconditional waivers to get out of his contract with Anaheim, he goes back to MODO as canaan aptly noted.

[mikey287]

Urbom claimed by Washington (probably to take Connor Carrick's spot), all others clear.

[canaan]

i guess spending time with your family and traveling the world with your limitless wealth isn't that appealing to some people.

[mikey287]

Rick DiPietro would play pickup hockey on your E League Men's Team if you asked him. He just wants to play hockey. Great competitor, great work ethic.

Its a shame that injuries got the better of his career.

[Rylan]

If you could get Rick DiPietro cheapish, I would love for him to back up Fleury.

[canaan]

Both Sedins re-signed 4 years, 28 million.
