Guest Low Roller Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 Just cracked open my browsers at work and I'm ready for another exciting day of free agency. Is everyone having as much fun as I am seeing teams build from nothing?? This week has been awesome so far as has this forum. Hey, what's happening in the Cavern anyways?So just to start the day off right, here are some random stats that I've compiled:- Highest paid player: Jaromir Jagr, $8,420,348 (New York Rangers)- Lowest paid player: 28 players signed at the league min of $450,000- Team with highest payroll: Philadelphia, $32,116,600- Team with lowest payroll: Washington, $7,191,000- Team with most players: Pheonix, 19- Team with least players: Washington, 6- Team with lowest salary/player*: Florida, $1,032,540- Team with highest salary/player*: New York Islanders, $3,309,166.60 (2 undisclosed)* this stat is dubious because not all players have disclosed salaries.

Guest Low Roller Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 A fine rumour to start the day: Edmonton has offered Paul Kariya a contract along with three other teams.I am loving the fact that the Canadian teams can compete in the free agency market with the new economic system of the league!

dave-O Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 It sounds like San Jose is also in the Paul Kariya hunt. And surprise surprise, the NY Rangers have expressed interested in John "Broken Back" Leclair. Can Lindros and Renberg be far behind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booche Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 In the Stupidest Rumor I Have Read category:Chicago Sportsradio (ESPN 1000) is reporting a confirmed three-way deal between the BlackHawks, Boston and Toronto. The Hawks would send Eric Daze to Boston; the Bruins would send Joe Thornton to Toronto and Leafs would send Ed Belfour to Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 Dumping Belfour's salary may be the only chance that Toronto has to become competitive so I wouldn't consider the move to be that stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badams Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 The most coveted goaltender in the free agent market has finally found a home, as veteran netminder Nikolai Khabibulin has signed with the Chicago Blackhawks.It is a four-year deal worth $27 million US.Khabibulin, 32, helped lead the Tampa Bay Lightning to their first Stanley Cup title in 2004, posting five postseason shutouts and a 1.71 goals-against average.The native of Russia posted a 28-19-7 regualr season record in 2003-2004 with three shutouts and a 2.33 goals-against average.Since being acquired from the Phoenix Coyotes on March 5, 2001, Khabibulin has amassed a 83-74-28 record while leading the team to consecutive Southeast Division titles. He holds franchise records in wins, shutouts (14) and consecutive wins (eight). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badams Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 (edited) I doubt that rumour is gonna happen now Booche and I doubt there was ever validity to it. Sounds like something a Toronto fan would dream up. Edited August 5, 2005 by Guest Violence, Language, Mature Situations and Sexuality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 There was a reason why I titled it the way I did, yet somehow, Roller thought it could happen......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badams Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 I just spoke with my buddy Matt Bradley. Pittsburgh didn't sgin him to an offer. He said he's willing to play in Toronto, but for no less than 4.5 mil a year. He figures the way things are going they will be desperate soon.I told him to get serious and think about his career. He agreed and is willing to sign with the Habs for the league minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badams Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 I think I've doubled my posts in two days. Pretty sad, I've been on here since the beginning and I've only got 514 posts.
