Around the League: Transactions

They started talks with him the day after he was acquired, and the Flyers have already re-signed Steve Mason to a one-year, $1.5 million extension.

Mason's first 24 career games: 14-9-1, 1.74 GAA, .939 save pct., 6 SO
Mason's next 198 games: 82-90-26, 3.04 GAA, .899 save pct., 13 SO

Flyers waste no time

They call those stats the "Ken Hitchcock Effect".

Mason will give up 5 goals in his first game against the Pens... in the 1st period.

Yeah, a lot of people say, "well, he only had one good season" but the honesty is, it wasn't even that.


2009:
November - January 9: 14-9-1, 1.74 GAA, .939 save pct. 6 SO
January 10 - April: 19-11-6, 2.68 GAA, .899 save pct., 4 SO

10 shut outs in the season is what put him on the map.

[mikey287]

And he hasn't had 10 since, so I guess that's why he's taking a more than 50% pay cut...

Didn't Hackett retire due to Vertigo?

That song is pretty awful, but retiring because of it?

[Kraftster]

Detroit close on a 6 year $5.3 per deal with Jimmy Howard? Holy crap is that a terrible move.

[Idoit40fans]

I'd rather spend $5.3 million on an average NHL starter than have no NHL caliber starter.

Kind of puts Fleury's $5-million in perspective though, doesn't it.

We'll see what he negotiates next offseason under this new cba as a 3 time stanley cup winning goalie.

Good, that should help keep them out of the post-season for two more years.

probably an obscure name that some WBS Penguins' fans would remember and it's not really noteworthy enough to make another thread for.

Ryan Lannon has retired from hockey at age 30 due to back problems. Lannon had planned on returning to KalPa this season, but instead announced his retirement last Wednesday. Lannon was drafted by the Penguins in the 2002 draft and played in W-B/S from 2005 until 2008.

Ryan contacted on Wednesday and told reporters that he now feels the right time to move ahead in life. Ryan has a big back injury and he is opening a new career, these times will be established by the company.

I did not realize he was that old. I guess I didn't realize he did 4 years of college.

[mikey287]

Jim Nill is a very intelligent guy by all accounts. I'm curious to see how he does there.

Oilers sign Anton Belov to a 1 year entry-level contract.

Howard is a steal.

KHL is supposedly interested in Gonchar as well
