*It's all rumor-mill, but maybe Carter was sent packing because of everything that supposedly went down between him and Hartnell's wife....THAT can divide a locker room

 

[scuse7]

NOW I could see that being a reason why someone gets shipped off, !*@+%%@ around with a dudes wife will kill a team....but the partying would have to been insane to get 2 good players shipped off like that...their hockey players. They party and drink a lot.

It isn't like they weren't producing when they were on the ice, they just had no tendy this year and got to the cup the year before.

 

[gingersaintbad]

Well yeah, as much as I give Carter props for smashing Hartnells wife, because Hartnell is a f'n d-bag, its still dirty lol.

I believe that was the real reason..........Richards was obviously on Carter's side. A good buddy of mine who plays in the League and played with both Richards & Carter told me that story was true

The New Jersey Devils dealt veteran forward Brian Rolston to the New York Islanders for forward Trent Hunter on Thursday.

The move will save the Devils a little more than $3 million in cap space for this season. Hunter has two seasons left on his contract, which pays him $2 million per season.

well if that's true then carter is a scumbag. hartnell hasn't been the same player. !#!$%

but those two partied alot like almost 24/7. my friends at temple said they would crash frat/random parties

while i understand that alot of players party but shouldn't that 'excessive' partying wait until the offseason? i see why homer would trade those two. partying over hockey and flyers are a business trying to win.

 

[frenchblue23]

I mean that's just grimey, to think that your own wife and teammate going behind your back, is disgusting mainly for the lack of respect they had for you.

They bot still claim they want to work out a LTC. If that's not dine by the deadline we have to trade him and not risk letting him walk away with nothing coming back ::gomez::. I hope to god it doesn't come to that but its gotta happen if a long term contract doesnt.

 

[gingersaintbad]

Devils put Colin White and Trent Hunter on waivers. If they don't clear they'll be bought out. Frees up about $3.3 mil bringing the total of approx $6 mil in current cap space.

An arbitrator gave Nashville Predators defenseman Shea Weber a $7.5 million award Tuesday.

Weber

The team announced the deal and scheduled a conference call Wednesday afternoon.

According to a report from CBC Sports, it is the largest arbitration award after John LeClair (2000) and Scott Niedermayer (2004) were each awarded $7 million.

Heading into Tuesday's hearing in Toronto, Weber and the Predators were reportedly $3.25 million apart in a dollar figure, with the defenseman asking for $8.5 million.

The Predators filed for arbitration back in mid-June as Weber was set to become a restricted free agent this summer. He will again reach RFA status next offseason if a deal isn't reached.

Weber, who had 16 goals and 32 assists in 82 games this past season, made $4.5 million in 2010-11 and was nominated for the Norris Trophy, awarded to the league's best defenseman.

The Chicago Blackhawks' core has another member.

The Hawks signed forward Patrick Sharp to a five-year contract extension Wednesday, adding the veteran to the team’s core group of players with long-term deals that includes Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane, Duncan Keith, Brent Seabrook and Marian Hossa.

"It’s always been a focus of mine to stay here and play in Chicago," Sharp said. "I love the team, I love the city and there’s absolutely no reason I want to leave. It feels good to know I’m wanted here in Chicago."



TSN reported the deal will carry a $5.9 million salary-cap hit per season. That will kick in at the start of the 2012-13 season. Sharp is entering the final year of a contract that will pay him $4.2 million with a cap hit of $3.9 million.
"Patrick is a very important member of our organization and we are looking forward to him being part of a core group that will be a contender for many years to come," Blackhawks general manager Stan Bowman said in a statement. “Over the last several years we have seen him develop into one of the game’s elite players as well as a fixture in the community and we are proud to be able to announce this news today."

That's what The Predators get for taking their best player to arbitration. I would've locked this guy up in a heartbeat.

Broooooooklyn.


rumored 3rd jersey:

 

[jewseejay]

/\ brooklyn islanders?

dunno how i feel about that... that team has young talent tho i know that much... tavares,okposo,bailey line if they can stay healthy would be too raw

 

[hawkflight6]

^ Not really feeling those 3rd uni's

at the Preds offer, way too low for a player of Weber's caliber

 

[winged wheel]

Those 3rds are horrible & even if the Islanders move to Brooklyn I can't see them losing the "New York" in their name.
