It's definitely a big signing but with $4.5m in cap space left and a few rosters spots to fill, Calgary is pretty much done with their roster changes. Their D is definitely stacked now but they also lost a 39 goal scorer in Mike Camalleri.

pretty cap fucked though

overpaid imo..

13.1 mil locked up for 2 d-men

I would have maybe willing to give him 6.5

going by stats and playing in the west I wouldn't be suprised if he "underperforms"

they gain oli and lose cammy

not worth it IMO

If we dont resign Ohlund is Mike Komisarek a decent pick? Made just under 2 Million last year.

Doubtfull that gillis would make that move

Yeah, but he wants 5M.

does anyone think Phaneuf might be on the move now?

You forgot Hodgson in your line up

Don't be surprised to see Phaneuf traded.

damm looks like Coilers might get Heatly, WOW the west is getting strong

Sources tell TSN a Dany Heatley deal to the Oilers is getting close, but not yet finalized.

The expected deal would see Edmonton sending Andrew Cogliano, Dustin Penner and Ladislav Smid to the Senators in exchange for Heatley.

Heatley will be required to waive his no-trade clause.

Heatley informed the Senators in early June that despite having five-years remaining on a six-year contract extension that he recently signed that he wished to be moved.

The veteran forward became unhappy with his role in Ottawa last season, especially after the Senators made a coaching change. Heatley discussed his concerns about what he felt was the limiting of his ice time, and his shift from the first power-play unit to the second unit with head coach Cory Clouston in the Senators end of season meetings.

The Senators have gone downhill since they appeared in the Stanley Cup Final in 2007.

In the 2007-08 season, the Senators had a hot-start, but then had a brutal second-half of the season and held on to seventh place in the Eastern Conference, only to get swept by the Pittsburgh Penguins.

This past season, the Senators never really got it going, and missed the playoffs.
Heatley notched 39 goals and 33 assists in 82 games last season. The 72 points were his lowest point totals in his four seasons with the Senators.

The 28 year-old, had back-to-back 50 goal seasons in 2005-06 and 2006-07.

Flames get Jaybo
Oilers get Heater
Canucks get a thumb up the ass

:mamoru:

Good for you Flames for signing JayBo and good for the Oilers on the possibility of getting Heats but really imo it doesn't mean much other then they got stronger.

Stronger for the Oilers doesn't mean a whole lot when you go from shitty to improved. They still suck on paper at least. Flames good on you and have fun with your cap space. Cam is gone and Jok sucks balls. Although your back end is pretty sweet I'll admit.

Ottawa must really not want to pay that 4 million bonus tommorow to offload Heatley for that mix of misfits.

Penner, 4.2 million and 37 points.
Cogliano right now is a 3rd line center
Smid, a 6th dman.

I would have never traded Andrew Cogliano. Long term, the Sens got the better deal.

On the subject of Calgarys pickup are they really spending almost 18 million on Jay Bo, Regehr and Phaneuf? I thought we had an expensive backend. :)

i dont get the hype wit jay bo, look at his stats...i kno he played for a crappy team but i doubt he will perform well in cow town...

just like olli, he played fro a crappy team, moved to cow town, and didnt do all that he was expected.

dammit...gonna be a work tomorrow without wireless...
gonna miss all the excitement :(

Hopefully the Nucks will do something tomorrow:thumbsup:

The big question is will Gillis stick with the Sedins and make minor changes or will he do a major overhaul by not signing the Sedins and go after some big names.

heatley to the oil....NOT


heatley declined to waive his no trade clause

I actually want to see Gillis do a complete overhaul and try to go with something new.

HEATLEY REJECTS DEAL

Now, it gets interesting.

Dany Heatley did not waive his no-movement clause to facilitate an agreed-upon trade between the Ottawa Senators and Edmonton Oilers that would have sent Andrew Cogliano, Dustin Penner and Ladislav Smid to Ottawa.

For now, and quite possibly forever, the deal is dead.

A lot of confusion has existed because there is a $4 million bonus payment due to Heatley on July 1. It was the understanding of many involved, including the Senators and Oilers, that once the clock struck midnight and turned over to July 1, the Sens would be on the hook for the $4 million bonus payment, which may have been a serious impediment to getting a deal done after midnight.

But as it turns out, the NHL says as long as a Heatley trade is concluded before midnight eastern tomorrow night, the bonus payment allocation can be transferred to the new team.

So, in effect, the Senators have another 24 hours to find a suitable deal that Heatley will approve and NOT be on the hook for his $4 million signing bonus.
