Scott Gomez to Montreal for Chris Higgings
Dany Heatley (sadly) seems to be going to Edmonton
Jay Bouwmeester to the Flames, great move by Calgary, excellent D-man

[King_Nothing]

I am kinda happy to see that Heater might be going to Edmonton, I would rather he stay in Canada if he is not working out in Ottawa. My first choice would be for him to stay, but that seems un-likely.

My only concern with Calgary signing Bouwmeester is that will leave them less room to re-sign Camilari.

Leafs are rumored to be focusing on the Sedin Twins, and Gomez in MTL is a good move

I am so disappointed with the Heatley affair, I really, really like him and Ottawa doesnt have a scorer like him... I dont think that Ottawa can get back the same amount of quality that they are going to be giving away.

Maybe Ottawa should try to sign Rick Nash since it doesnt look like he might sign with Columbus

I hear ya man, I am a Senators fan and it pains me to see that Heater wants out. He has been one of the best players ever for that team, and its a shame the way they have downward-spiraled.
If they lose Heatley, Id prefer it to another Canadian Club, if the Rangers sign him, I will be so pissed off, I hate the Rangers!!!

Nash in Ottawa would be sweet

How about those Habs signing some great players so far, now can they keep Koivu and Kovalev???

[Mr.Metal]

Lots of big D-man going to Montreal; they are getting tough!

I don't think they can keep Koivu and Kovalev, but I really don't see Koivu staying anyway, fans in Montreal are tired of him and he has never been a dominant player, they can survive with out him.

[King_Nothing]

I agree, I guess all the warm feelings about his cancer recovery are forgotten with the lack of performance there lol
Montreal is a tough place to play.
They need a FRENCH CANADIAN LEADER........Lacavallier anyone??

[hellawaits77]

Pens lost Scuderi and Gill Not unexpected though. You know they would be asking for a lot, considering how great they both played in the Pens Stanley Cup run. Happy they got to keep Guerin and Adams. I really like the way Adams plays, a true high quality role player. Hope they can hold onto Fedotenko + Sykora.

Hossa to Chicago, huh? Adding him to the young talent they have makes them look pretty darn good on paper.

[Mr.Metal]

What the F***?

Kovalev just signed 2 year deal with the Senators... That is crazy, i like the guy, but I think sometimes he lacks commitment to whatever club he is playing for... what bothers me the most is that Heatley could benefit a lot from having such a good passer in Kovalev, he made everybody look good in Montreal! I hope the Heat changes his mind

[hellawaits77]

That does suck for the Habs. Was never a huge fan of Kovalev, even when he was in Pittsburgh. The Habs have made some good off season moves, though. They beefed up their 'D' w/ Hal Gill and Spacek. Also Cammaleri, Gianta and Gomez up front. Definately solid newcomers.

[Mr.Metal]

One of the finest and classiest players in NHL has retired today, Joe Sakic! He was excellent and such an example!

Glad he won a couple of rings and the moment where he got the cup and without raising it gave it right away to Ray Bourque was pure class.
