Veteran NHL goaltender Curtis Joseph was among the 22 players named Monday to Canada’s roster for the Spengler Cup tournament in Davos, Switzerland. The unsigned, free agent, who had played in the NHL for over 17 seasons helped lead Team Canada to a gold medal during the 2002 Olympic games.
"We are extremely pleased to have […]
So the going rate for a second-line centre in the NHL these days is apparently $4-million based on the six-year, $24-million deal that Buffalo recently gave Derek Roy.
The Sabres have now committed about $75-million to two players - Roy and Thomas Vanek - after losing Chris Drury and Daniel Briere to free-agency earlier this […]
If you’re the Ottawa Senators, what do you do with one of your young stars, Danny Heatley, who will be an unrestricted free-agent after this year?
Do you try to sign him now - knowing that you’ve also got another UFA, Wade Redden, as well as Jason Spezza becoming a restricted free-agent.
Tough choices for Senators GM […]
Now that all the big-name free agents have been snapped up for multi-year, mega-million deals, who’s still left out there?
CBS Sportsline offers some of the better-known names, including the oft-injured Eric Lindros, Teemu Selanne, who has not made it clear whether he’s coming for another season; Danny Markov, Alexei Yashin, who was just bought […]
With most of the major free-agents now finding new homes, the thing that sticks out other than the money being thrown around is the long-term deals many players received. A five-year deal used to be a rarity, now it’s pretty much the free-agent deafult given that six, seven and eight year deals are part of […]
The New York Rangers, who are clearly doing a wonderful job managing the salary-cap, have signed Brendan Shanahan to a one-year contract.
The deal starts with a $2.5-million base - not bad for a 38-year-old who didn’t want to play anywhere else other than New York - with another $2.8-million on the table in performance-related bonuses, […]
If being the NHL’s highest scorer and most valuable player in 2006/2007 wasn’t enough, Sidney Crosby has become a very rich young man after signing a five-year, $45-million deal.
It’s an interesting, but necessary, move for a lot of different reasons.
1. By giving Crosby $9-million a year, the Penguins make their resident superstar happy by […]
I’ve been a Mike York fan for a long time. He’s not the biggest player around but has enough offensive savvy to fare well in the new NHL. The last couple of seasons, however, he seems to have been lost in the shuffle after being traded to Philadelphia, Edmonton and the New York Islanders.
Still, […]
Whether it was desperation or a savvy hockey move, the Edmonton Oilers took the hockey world by surprise when they offered restricted free-agent Thomas Vanek a seven-year, $50-million contract. The move infuriated the Buffalo Sabres, who quickly matched the offer, and threatened to go after the Oilers’ young talent.
Did the Oilers make a mistake? Absolutely […]
