UFA 2012 / July 1st 2012 Thread

Told that over the past 36 hours, the dialogue between Parise and Suter picked up considerably

Both Parise AND Suter in Minny?  :o We'll see.

Red Wings have been notified they're out of Parise hunt.

Thought it was foregone conclusion that Detroit was going to get at least one of Suter/Parise.  Now they are going to get neither.

Carle and Semin end up in Detroit. THat's my guess.

I kind of thought Semin would end up in the KHL, but who knows...Detroit just doesn't seem like the kind of system he would fit well in...
 
Detroit is as good as a guess as any for these two but what about Semin to NJ? Him and Kovalckuk on a line could be scary.

Beauchemin is clearly massively beneficial.  He was turned in to Lupul and Gardiner.  Signing a free agent F and then trading him for players X and Y on other teams that you like more is just as good as signing X and Y from the start.  It is an excellent and necessary way to build the team's talent base.  I'd be perfectly happy if Burke plays the Beauchemin game over and over again several more times.

I'm not sure why the Beauchemin trade and the Beauchemin UFA signing can't be measured separately on their own merits.

Well, the UFA signing provided the assets that were used in the trade.  So that made me happy to have done the signing.  Seems pretty straightforward.

Sure, but they were still two separate transactions that had their own individual merits. Sure, that's simpler but this isn't Hockey Fans 101 here.

Man, they've loading up on d... IMO, it makes the Salo signing the more puzzling... Trade in the works?

I just think that shows how weak their defence was last season. And with Salo and Ohlund being frequently hurt they can use all the depth that they can get back there.
 
Flyers GM Paul Holmgren announced that the club has signed forward Ruslan Fedotenko and defenseman Bruno Gervais to contracts today.

Fedotenko returns for his second stint with the Flyers after beginning his NHL career with Philadelphia in 2000-01 through the 2001-02 season.

?Ruslan is a good two-way forward that can play either wing and will bring experience and depth to our forward group," said Holmgren.

He is coming off the past two seasons with the New York Rangers, recording nine goals and 20 points in 73 regular season games this past season, while adding another seven points (2G-5A) and a plus-7 rating in 20 Stanley Cup Playoff games during the Rangers run to the Eastern Conference Final.

The Flyers have also added defenseman Bruno Gervais to their blueline.

"Bruno is a right-handed shot defenseman that has over 300 games experience in the league," said Holmgren. "We feel both these players solidify our team.?

Gervais is a 6-1, 200-pound addition to the Flyers defensive core. He posted 13 points (6G-7A) in 50 games for Tampa Bay this past season, his first with the Lightning.
