Hockey Playoffs!

What a "WILD" day in free agent signings....
pun intentional.

Parrish? :w00t:

Carney? :unsure: Best years are behind him.

Johnsson? :huh: He's soft.

hate to see Willie Mitchell going to a Northwest foe.....
Leafs pick up Kubina --> Did they overpay?

I wish I had some more time to think of a thoughtful reply, especially with so much going on! I'll see if I can't sum up some replies on the Wild tomorrow morning.

Some other big things that have happened that excite me include:

Edmonton signing Roloson to a three year 11 million dollar contract. Also getting Pisani to ink a 4 year deal as well (let's hope he can keep up the play he showed in the playoff).

Senators saying goodbye to Hasek. What do you think was the motivation? Too old? Too injuring prone? Past history of questionable nerves in the playoffs? It sounds like a silly comparison, but Hasek reminds me of Roger Clemens. As he gets older everyone wants to write him off, but looking back at his performance last year he's clearly still got it when he's healthy. Is this a loss for the Sens, or is the new Gerber/Emery combination a big plus?

Can the Bruins turn around after an abysmal season? Will Chara and Savard make a big enough difference? Will the organization find its feet after the shake up on the coaching/upper management staff? Will new drafty Kessel make up for the loss of Thorton in any way?

So many questions. Of course not much can be answered until the start of next season. Till then, let the speculation begin!:)

Cheers,
