holy overpayment Batman! dude has one decent season and a good playoffs and they give him $4 mil per year? crazy. he'd better step it up next season.
as for Niederreiter, the FishSticks had just about had it with him and his manager whining about playing in Bridgeport this past season. if he can stop being a headcase good pickup for the Wild.

Benoit Pouliot looked seriously good during a stretch with Vinny and St Louis this year (watched two of those games). I think he really is someone for the Pens to have a long look at.

'Hometown discount' for Bickell turned into a $3.5 million a year raise. IMO, perfect example of being seduced by a fortuitous hot streak.
I hate to generalize like this, but Bickell is like every other big guy in the league. They play when they want to play, dominate when they want to dominate, and usually overpaid.

The Islanders have always maintained they weren't going to toll Tim Thomas' contract and there's nothing to suggest anything has changed.

Tubby Timmy to Philly?
I hope so. A year out of the league. 39 years old. A 5 year contract at 4 mill per year sounds about like something Holmgren would do.
In all seriousness, does anybody think Thomas can return to elite form and stay injury free after a year off?
What the hell is this crap that the Isles attempted to trade DiPietro to VAN. Now will use the buyout on him and VAN will pick him up. Then VAN will attempt to trade Luongo again.
