PackerMike 6 Posted June 21, 2012 Darren Helm signed a 4yr/$8.5m contract. Great buy for the Wings, one of the key pieces to the team. Just wondering, and I know I'm biased but...Why hasn't Lidstrom been even nominated for at least 15 years of his career for the Lady Byng? It always seems to go to the forward with the best points to PIM ratio. Lidstrom is the epitome of class combined with being one of the best on the ice.

Turry 755 Posted June 21, 2012 (edited) Scott Clemmensen might be the best goaltender available in the free agent goalie class going into this summer.There are still some teams looking to alter their crease for next season and the Columbus Blue Jackets are one of them. GM Scott Howson said he would like to add three goaltenders to his club's roster by the start of training camp and he wants to bring some stability to his crease. Clemmensen could fit into that equation for the short term, while Jonas Gustavsson, Martin Biron and Chris Mason are options as well. Related: Blue Jackets, Jonas Gustavsson, Chris Mason, Martin Biron Source: Columbus Dispatch The Ottawa Senators are believed to be in the mix for Rick Nash.Multiple sources have have reported that Senators GM Bryan Murray has held talks with Columbus regarding Nash and some have gone as far as to say what Ottawa appears to be willing to give up. The Senators' package is rumored to include prospect Mika Zibanejad, winger Nick Foligno and goaltender Ben Bishop. They certainly have the organizational assets to go after Nash if they choose, so their inclusion into the auction for Nash's services is intriguing.

SteVo+ 3,702 Posted June 25, 2012 Flyers made an interesting splash in trading James van Riemsdyk to Toronto for Luke Schenn. JVR has star potential but has been inconsistent, while Schenn has the potential to provide the defense the Flyers desperately need, and is now paired with his brother Braden. So now you've got the Schenn brothers in Philly, Staal brothers in Carolina, and of course the Sedin brothers in Vancouver. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SteVo+ 3,702 Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) Free agent Frenzy starting at 12 PM. It seems the Flyers are poised to go hard for Zach Parise. This should be interesting. Edit: Oh, and Ryan Suter too. Much rather have Suter, since he fills a bigger need on defense. Edited July 1, 2012 by SteVo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blotsfan 2,112 Posted July 1, 2012 Sure would be nice if the Sabres could be a major part of free agency. But no, I'm glad we're giving Ville Leino 4.5 million. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JetsFan4Life 542 Posted July 1, 2012 Some of the bigger signings so far... Ray Whitney signed to the Dallas Stars. Two years, $9 million for the 40 year old who led the Coyotes in scoring last season. Filip Kuba to the Florida Panthers on a two year $8 million deal. This will be good to replace Jason Garrison who is still a free agent. Dustin Penner returns to the defending champion Los Angeles Kings on a one year deal for $3.25 million. Brandon Prust signs with the Montreal Canadiens, 4 years $10 mil. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
