man how are we going to fill the other roster spots with like 9m in cap space?

My guess is Grabner and Hodgeson will make the team. That is 2 spots that will be filled at relatively cheap price.

So what are the winning 6/49 numbers? :thumbsup:

nm

Sedins were a good siging. They certainly could have gotten more onthe market. Tsn is reporting Luongo will be extended 'shortly after july 1'

so i'm guessing no gaborik eh?

Ohlund to Tampa.

Lightning strike with Ohlund
Wednesday, July 1, 2009

Sportsnet.ca

The Tampa Bay Lightning have signed defenceman Mattias Ohlund to a seven-year, $26.25 million contract, or an average salary of $3.75 million Sportsnet has learned.

More to come...

VANCOUVER -- The Vancouver Canucks signed forward Rick Rypien to a two-year NHL contract extension through the 2010-11 season, general manager Mike Gillis said Wednesday.

Rypien, 25, has played five seasons with Vancouver. Last year, the five-foot-11, 170-pound native of Coleman, Alta., appeared in 12 games, registering three goals and 19 penalty minutes. He had two assists and 40 penalty minutes in 10 playoff contests.

"Rick plays with intensity and energy every time he steps on the ice," Gillis said in a release.

In 41 career games as a Canuck, Rypien has five goals, two assists and 69 penalty minutes.

Rypien signed with Vancouver as a free agent Nov. 9, 2005.

He's getting paid 250k more! Well, thats good for Ohlund. I'm glad he has signed with a team. I am sad to see him go but his performance has been declining as of late.

That's old news.

top 5 FA left

1. Marian Hossa - Montreal wanted him last year and becomes the front-runner at noon.
2. Marian Gaborik - Los Angeles appears to be the perfect fit.
3. Mike Cammalleri - Toronto needs skill up front and he provides it.
4. Martin Havlat - I think he'll find a way to stay in Chicago, both sides want it to happen.
5. Alex Kovalev - Yes he was inconsistent, but he's still a high-end performer.



new to me :D

How much cap space is left? I'm too lazy to actually calculate. If any of you know just off the top of your head, I'd really appreciate it.

^ apparently its around 10 million left to spend.

That low?! Really?!

Here is a breakdown.

Just under 10.8 mil to spend.

SPORTSNET.CA--

It looks like Alex Kovalev will be returning to the Montreal Canadiens. Sources tell Sportsnet the free-agent forward is close to agreeing on a two-year contract with the club worth just under $9 million.

Ohlund goes to tampa to be a mentor for hedman?? Who lknos' awfully cheaper than what i thot

http://www.nhlnumbers.com/overview.php?team=VAN

Site isn't updated yet, but based off of my math skills, adding in the twins, they are at $46.06M, so they have $10.74M cap space left.
So far the break down is like this:
Demitra $4M
Bernier $2M
Burrows $2M
Kesler $1.75M
Johnson $1.15M
Raymond $0.883M
Hordichuk $0.775M
Rypien $0.55M
Bieksa $3.75M
Salo $3.5M
Mitchell $3.5M
Edler $3.25M
Lu $6.75M

RFA's include SOB, Wellfed, and Hansen.
Last year, SOB's cap hit was $0.95M, Wellfed was $0.987M and Hansen's was $0.50M.

I just posted a link in my original post. It has the breakdown and everything. Very niceeee!

Hossa is close to signing in Chicago...says TSN
