NHL Transactions and News - 2012 Offseason

[Troy Loney]

even in a non-hockey capacity, if you were giving me 20 million a year to live in russia vs. 5 million a year to live in the US, i'd pick the US.

I think that if you got a bunch of NHL players move to Russia, Moscow, they'd have a hell of a time there. It's not so bad if you have money.

Except all the ones that were in the plane wreck.

Carey Price - 6 years, $39-million for a $6.5-million cap hit

Carey Price - 6 years, $39-million for a $6.5-million cap hit

Really? Guess that makes Fleury deal even better.

Or does it prove once and for all that Price is better because he makes more money

Trade --- Derek Roy to DAL for Steve Ott and Adam Pardy.

That's going to make watching Sabres games on MSG much less enjoyable.

"ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOYYY!

I think I'm a big fan of that Jokinen deal for the Jets.

[Idoit40fans]

The Price deal seems about right. Like the Jokinen deal from a Jets perspective.

I think I'm a big fan of that Jokinen deal for the Jets.

For sure, he has surprisingly been playing well the past few seasons. He should be able to bring some vet leadership to that young group. Should be a nice set up guy for E. Kane.

Matt Carle to Tampa. 6 yrs-5.5 per.

[DelPen]

So Matt Carle, 6 years at $5.5 million to Tampa. The Flyers are getting easier to play against.

he's not THAT good...I mean come on.

[mikey287]

The Flyers would be easier to play against if they kept him...

[meecrofilm]

The Flyers would be easier to play against if they kept him...

Yeah I was gonna say.

What a ridiculous deal.

[Sam's Drunk Dog]

Matt "Hot" Carle is the most overrated (and now overpaid) defenseman since Wade Redden.

[Idoit40fans]

Yeah thats pretty awful.

[SolidSnake]

Yzerman had been doing a good job until this, wonder if ownership pressured for this.

[DelPen]

The Flyers would be easier to play against if they kept him...

Just looking at their defense now. It's softer than soft without Carle and who knows if Pronger is ever coming back.

Flyers sign Rusty Fedotenko

[canaan]

Tom Renney signs a 3 yr deal as an assoc coach with the Red Wings

[Sarcastic]

I think Fedotenko is a good signing for the Flyers. I liked how he played with the Rangers. Not going to put up many points, but he's a strong body to play against and a dependable role player.

[Zach6668]

Feds remains a Devils stint short of the Atlantic Div. Bingo.

You would?

I would take 20 million to live in Russia. Its not like Russia is a terrible place. Sure their government is corrupt, but the people are seemingly friendly (on the few interactions I have had with Russian immigrants) and that is truly what makes it worthwhile. And 400% more money doesn't hurt either.

[Idoit40fans]

I'd definitely stay in America. I could live extremely comfortably the rest of my life on $5 million without living halfway around the world from everyone I care about.
