i keep getting Couturier name wrong
.... but i agree the talent is there to be a contender but we'll see how the team develops.
The caps are imo the team to beat in the East...Kings for the West. both teams depth is
but we see how best teams on paper go.

Heatley has a modified no-trade. Had to submit a list of 10 teams he wouldn't go to before July 1. obviously Minny wasn't on that list.

they probably talked to Burns about an extension and his requests were: 1) money, 2) no Heatley.

They were probably looking to get rid of the wobbling garbage that is Dany Heatley and obtain a player who will perform just as well for less money.

Joel Ward will be on the 2nd line by seasons end... he scored goals like crazy in the playoffs and jus gets it... real grinder with enough skill to makeOriginally Posted by DoubleJs07
Depth.
Ovechkin - Backstrom - Knuble
Brouwer - Johansson - Semin
_______ - Laich - Ward
Chimera - Halpern - Hendricks
*Fehr/Sjogren
Hamrlik - Green
Carlson - Alzner
Schultz - Wideman
*Erskine/Poti
Vokoun
Neuvirth
*Still not really sold on Laich being a C, so this is why there is a MAJOR need for another C on the roster. If Eakin plays well in camp, maybe he wins the 3C role and Laich can slide over to LW.
Anyways...I'm loving the look of the lineup. Paper champs so farHopefully they can figure out what the hell to do when the 2nd season rolls around and have a DEEP run.
things happen as well
AND
LMFAO @ heater... he thought he was gunna jus chill in Socal collectin fat paychecks
made my day... dudes been a bum... he needs to play with sumone that puts the puck on a silver platter for him to score goals anymore
if u cant get 30+ playin big minutes with Jumbo...

Man, that Dany Heatley deal was unexpected for me.
I think the Sharks definitely got the better end of that.
Sad to see Torres go, but Salo and Higgins signing back on is a relief.

Panthers are a modern day Brewster's Millions. Scrambling to make that league minimum anyway they can.

Me too. I honestly didn't think that they would acknowledge his lackluster play and actually do something about it.

They didn't. Heater asked out.

I know you were kidding but I would have to imagine that Edmonton & Ottawa were not even on his list of 10 teams. Neither of them were going to be trading for him so why even bother wasting 2 spots on his list?

This is a valid point, but I think it came down to postseason production which Heatley was offering none of. Between Havlat and Heatley there is a huge discrepancy in terms of postseason production. Sure this is the first "real dip" in Heatley's offensive output that could be attributed to injury-- or it could be part of a rapid decline for a player that just completed his age 30 season. Additionally Heatley was a liability handling the puck and on defense. From exit interviews you could tell he kinda knew management was into faster players and that he was gonna work on fitness.
Should they have held on to maybe the trade deadline? Possibly if they thought Heatley's injury woes were why he wasn't doing anything, or if he was gonna get in better physical shape. But this also gives them cap flexibility to hammer out deals for Burns and Couture before they get away.
True Blues: I do recall saying before that Heatley just doesn't do 2nd line and that he'd ask out-- you might be right on some level.

Jets sign Andrew Ladd to a 4 year/ $22m deal
$4.5m a season seems very reasonable for him and he was someone we absolutely needed to sign
