yeah, i'd take Thibault over Khabibulin any time. Khabibulin is a great goalie, but only when he wants to be. He's the type of player that would sign with one team because their contract offer was 100,000 dollars higher, instead of showing some loyality or going to a better team. Thibault has never really been on a good team. Too much pressure with the habs, being the goalie that was traded for Roy and all, and Chicago hasnt been any good in years. Moog version 2.0?

great trade for the Oilers, they got Peca for cheap, York is good but Peca is awesome. The Oilers are going to be a kick ass team to watch this year.

One thing about The Oilers though, they're very good at assesing talent. They had to be.

As for goalies, I have no issues with the two we have - they're amazing. But I would love to see a big name come in. As for the rest of the league, I like that the teams are going out there and grabbing players like Forsberg to Philly, Panthers getting a few and whatnot. This is going to be a great year to watch hockey... |

Peca is over-rated now. He's on the decline, big time.

Oh Peca will. He's nowhere near done.
IMO, there are some players that are being overpaid, Peca isn't one of them. |

I like that they have gone after some hard nosed "blue collar" guys. The old Bruins teams (that were good), were always made up off a bunch of blue collar type players and 1 maybe 2 "stars" but they worked there butt off as a team and always over performed. That and what really hurts thorton is the lack of muscle, everyone takes runs at him, then he defends himself, gets in a fight and gets tossed. Now looks like the Bruins will have some people to take the heat off him or atleast hit back for him. |

I think Ant is going to need a change of panties. Ducks signed Niedermayer to a 4 year deals. 6.725 million. Ozolinsh and Nieds...thats some pretty talented offensive dmen.
Blackhawks pick up Martin Lapointe Pengiuns got Andre Roy, they were after a tough guy, and had links to Domi. They made a better move here as Roy > Domi. Sabres signed Teppo Nummimen as well. He's getting older, but he can still play, He's now the Sabres #1 dman... and VEL...cant really blame the B's for wanting to get Thorton long term. Although Thorton doesnt seem to be bitting. If the B's choke this year, and don't look good for the playoffs, watch for them to trade Thorton, as im sure he'll be testing the FA market next season. |

I would bet the B's will be trying to trade him all season, They just need someone to bite. Rumor in the Winnipeg paper today was him to the Av's for Tanguay and a conditional pick.

Thornton isn't mad at the team. He's said he likes the team. He's pissed at management and the city press for no one backing him up in the playoffs last time.

That being said, the Bruins the last few years have said they wouldn't sign big or long contracts because they knew there would be a new agreement a teams would be cutting players and salary... Well, looks like they were right. I also find it intersting they seem to be spending top money on older guys, who only may have a few years if that, maybe they think a lot of teams are going to max their cap quick and be stuck with aging over salaried players and they'll be able to scoop up some young guys? Still looking at season tickets, flipping between 2 season tix or 4 1/2 season tickets... |

Leetch
Murray Zhamnov Scatchard McEacheran nice signings there IMO we still need either one more winger or one more D man. They should look into getting Kariya or Hamrlik I was really hoping they'd sign Rafalski, but he went back to NJ. The probable lines are this: Isbister-Thornton-Murray Samsonov-Zhamnov-Bergeron Axelsson-Scatchard-McEacheran Huml-Hilbert-Fitzgerald Leetch-Boynton Gil-Girard Moran-Stuart/Dallman/Alberts/Jurcina ------- I'm LOVING the B's 2nd line. Sammy, Zhammy, and Patrice are gonna light shit up. |

Also, if Sergei Zinovjev decides to come over from Russia and get in Camp, that kid will be something special. He reminds me of Samsonov.

Posted on MapleLeafs.com Forums:
Chicago Sportsradio (ESPN 1000) is reporting a three-way deal between the Hawks, Boston, and Toronto. Chicago sends Eric Daze to Boston; the Bruins send Thornton to Toronto; Leafs send Belfour to Chicago. Chicago Lapointe signing cleared way for the deal; adding Belfour returns him to his original team. --------- fuck that. and it was posted on the Leafs forum, so I doubt there's any truth to it. MOC isn't retarded enough to send Thornton for Eric fucking Daze |

I say the line up will look more like this
Samsonov-Thornton-Murray Axelsson-Zhamnov-Bergeron Isbister-Scatchard-McEacheran Huml-Free Agent-Fitzgerald The defence is too hard to call because they have one signed. Two if Moran plays defense. Add Raycroft on defense and it should be an alright year. Looks about the same as last year. Just new third line and Zhamnov for Nylander and Leetch for Gonchar. |

You know what I wouldn't even mind that. Daze is pretty decent and if they sign another top forward and Samsonov its all good. Thornton is pissing me off.

Nah, Sully's gonna pair Isbister with the Joe/Muzz combo and try to make a Knuble out of him. There's no reason to waste Samsonov on that line when he can be doing amazing things with Zhammy and Bergeron.

By waste Sammy I mean that the scoring is mostly going to be Joe feeding Muzz for the goal.

Isbister is not a top line player in any right but either was Knuble. I dunno.

I forgot Boyes too, replace him w/ Hilbert and send Andy back to Providence.
Thornton is going nowhere. Murray talks to him everyday and his signing is what will keep Joe locked up for the long term. We just need to get it official and then do the same for Sammy. |

I wouldn't be shocked to see them move Bergeron to the first line if Thornton stays. The new rules makes the game way faster and Begeron has speed on Murray.

also don't forget that the Flyers had to throw in a 3rd round pick just so they would take Roenick.

Yea but they're a one line wonder and thats comming from someone who loves Pittsburgh. I doubt they'll even make the playoffs. Same with the leafs, the way things are shaping up the Panthers have a friggin better chance to make the playoffs then the Leafs.
