If Calgary thinks Wideman is worth a little over 5million a year, what the heck is Suter going to be offered.

Crosby reported to sign a 12 year deal with the Pens. I grew up with the Pens being my favorite team, and formally - although all my hockey heros are long gone (Lemieux, Francis, Jagr, Coffey) - the Pens retain the formal title of "favorite team", but I can't help but be a little dissapointed, lol.
Would have loved to see Crosby say, "listen, I've given the Pens the start of my career, but I grew up dreaming of playing for the Habs - that's where I'm going." |

Fuuuuucking Sabres.
Got me worried. They have money to spend, and in a weak market are going to do something stupid. I just feel it. They are in a weird spot. Were heavy favorites last year, shit hit the fan, and now they are stuck between blow it up rise it out. Seems as though Grigorenko is going to be on the team this year. But where does he play? Unless they move Ennis back to wing he is going to be the 4th line center. Roy Ennis Hodgson Grigorenko Not alot of Defense of Size up the middle... So does he go to the wing to start like Seguin? As it stands buffalo is wing heavy. Seems like a few lines are locked up unless they can unload Roy, which I pray for everyday. |

Buffalo is close. I can see them surprising people next year. It shoudn't be a surprise, ecause they were expected to be a top team last year but failed to deliver. If they deliver this year (early) they'll be where they were thought to be last year.

The team is just in a weird Transition almost. They Traded Gaustad who has worn an A for years. They are trying to trade Roy who is in the same boat.
Obviously this all goes back to July 1 2007 - The worst day in Buffalo ever. Losing Drury and Briere was the end of it all. Darcy had to panic and start handing out contracts to the "Young Core" - Then Edmonton the assholes had to go an Offer Sheet Vanek. So Vanek got 50 million, then Darcy panicked and handed out contracts to Roy, Gaustad, Pomminville, Hecht, Stafford Twice Etc. but Hecht is UFA, and with Roy on his way out, and Goose gone, they are breaking up that core. Almost like starting over, but not. Vanek and Pommers will stay and I like that. But its like they are ready to reload with Ennis, Hodgson, Myers, Foligno (who might crack the top 6 this year) and more. Sabres have some real upside in young talent. But if they want to push them into the NHL its almost a rebuilding mode. This year should see Foligno spend the year in the NHL, Brayden McNabb SHOULD be o nthe roster, he is ready. Corey tropp should also make it to the NHL this year. Nice 4th liner. Add in Grigs and this a young team. Really only older vets would be Regehr and Leopold. |

All this talk on NHL Network about Parise and Ryan Suter maybe going to the Pens. Seems like a good idea, not getting my hopes up tho.

All they talked about was Parise resigning with the Devils or going to the Pens or Red Wings. Then they went on about how Suter and him played somewhere else before.
Well when they weren't talking about Canadian teams since it was TSN's coverage being shown on NHL Network. |

Parise is rumoured to also go to The wild, since he's from that area.
The Oilers landed Shultz - a free agent Dman that's coming out of the college ranks. He's a highly coveted prspect, if he pns out, boy th Oil are going to be a team to recon with soon |

A little late but I don't agree with Sundin getting into the Hall of Fame before Shanahan. Toronto media bias.

You think Suter isn't worth the money? You dont get much attention when you have a Norris Trophy candidate as your partner. Guy is the goods and worth every cent in my opinion.

and you don't think him playing alongside Weber doesn't help his game?
I believe the market on Dmen is out of balance right now. like I said Parise, captain of his team, makes to t the cup finals, Suter an anchor of a rising team that could contend for years. -They both leave promising teams to play with each other on a team that is still missing a lot of pieces. I dunno, even though they took their time to make a decision, I don't think it was very well thought out by either of them. |

Weber was certainly the best of the pair. His statistics prove it. Suter is competent, but he is not worth all that money.

I have Suter as a protected player in my fantasy hockey league. I sure hope all of you guys are wrong and he's going to score 10000 points and beat the record for most points by a defenseman.

The silver lining in all of this might be that Weber will move from the Preds to the Canucks net year.
