- Habs acquire P.A. Parenteau for Danny Briere yesterday (love it).
- Jason Spezza just traded to Dallas for Alex Chiasson, other youngsters, and picks (Dallas will soon be a power house)
UPDATE -
- Habs sign Manny Malhotra 1 year/850 K (excellent, 2nd best faceoff % in NHL, great as 4th line center and PK)
- Ehrhoff to Pittsburgh to replace Niskanen; 1 year/4 million (good signing IMO)
- Oilers are IDIOTS. Benoit Pouliot: 5 years/20 million, Mark Fayne: 4 years/14 million ( I guess you need to sign who you can in Edmonton, but Pouliot and 20 million do not belong in the same sentance)
TOO MUCH TO KEEP UP WITH NOW -
Tom Gilbert to Habs
Jussi Jokinen to Panthers
Stastny to Blues
Dan Boyle to Rangers
Cammaleri to Devils
Mason Raymond to Flames
Goalie Chad Johnson to Isles
....
Fayne was solid for the Devils.
