The Boston Bruins have re-signed forward Mark Recchi to a one-year, $1 million contract.

This just in. Trade between Boston and Tornonto finalized.

To Toronto : F - Phil Kessel / D - Andrew Ference

To Boston : D - Thomas Kaberle

Three-way trade possible involving Leafs, Hawks, and Sharks. Key components are Hawks getting a defenseman, Leafs getting a young physical forward (most likely from Chicago) and losing one of their goalie prospects (most likely Pogge), and Sharks losing a defenseman. Cheechoo and Kaberle are believed to be not involved in the trade.

To Toronto:
Adam Burish
Rights to Torrey Mitchell

To Chicago:
Rights to Justin Pogge
Brad Lukowich
Draft Pick from San Jose

To San Jose:
Andrew Ladd

Saku Koivu down to two teams, Anaheim and Minnesota. Selanne is trying to persuade him to sign with the Ducks however his brother Mikko plays for the Wild. If he chooses Anaheim, don't expect his contract to be a lengthy one.

July 02 2009

Gionta in montreal

Bob gainey pee off all the ufa;s they dont want to stay then he over pays for a centermen now he needs to go away and stay away before he screw the team for good

I hate Montreal but I hate more the constant complaining abiout Gainey. He did alot of moves and contrary to popular belief, these moves make the Habs better which is what you wanted. First off even though he paid alot, he got people who want to play ( huge ). I am a Bruins fan and am a bit scared of this line up Gainey has began to assemble.

Steve Begin ? Really ? Not really seeing logic in this Peter Chierelli but at least he is cheap. Does this mean you let Recchi walk ? That is too bad, I liked him and he fit in here. Hopefully a replacement for Axellson or Yelle even though I liked them too but Begin can do the same job and is younger and more affordable. Just bugging you Peter, bigger moves to come later, right ?

Boston and Pittsburg on verge of blockbuster:

To Pittsburgh : Savard / Kessel / Wideman

To Boston : Malkin

I'd be surprised if Bryan Murray traded Dany Heatley at this point.

Los Angeles big need is a veteran defenseman, but they are going to have to overpay for one of the last big fish out there at this point if they want to make the playoffs, and rumour has it they've sent offers to Adrian Aucoin, Derek Morris, and Nick Boynton.

Robert Lang to Pittsburgh (2 years/$2.5 million per year). Pascal Dupuis and Casey Pierro-Zabotel trade to LA for Jack Johnson rights.

The Toronto Maple Leafs are still after at least one quality winger, but the wingers may not necessarily come through free agency. Toronto has 10 defensemen under contract who either played for the team this past season or held a regular roster spot on another team (Komisarek and Exelby), and it's believed that Ian White would be most likely among this group to be dealt in such a trade scenario.

Kurtis Foster is entertaining offers from Columbus, Tampa Bay, Toronto, and Vancouver. Minnesota is also eager to re-sign him however they won't address the need until they sign a key UFA forward they are seeking.

Jonas Gustavsson will sign with the Dallas Stars, Antero Niittymaki will ultimately end up in Toronto.

Minnesota and Tampa Bay are talking trade, key pieces are Josh Harding and Ty Wishart.

Colorado's tendem for next season is Andersen and Budaj. Avs are done shopping for goalies.

July 01 2009

The Leafs are interested in LA goalie Joanthan Bernier

Mike Komeserek to join Flyers tomorrow July 1. I hate Philly but I heard this rumor today from my wifes cousin who works in the Montreal organization who is friends with Komeserek.

Glen Sather just fleeced Bob Gainey. Sure, Montreal fills their void at center on the first line, but Scott Gomez' contract is absurd for a team that needs to fill a lot of holes this off-season, and in no way should he have given up Ryan McDonagh to take on his contract.

Vancouver is making a run for Tomas Kaberle, offering a roster player, a prospect and a pick. The prospect is believed to be Taylor Ellington.

Calgary hopes to sign a 2nd and 3rd line forward and a top 4 defenseman this off-season, however, they will only have just under $5 million in cap space to play with. Despite rumours, Calgary will not part with Dion Phaneuf, however there are teams believed to be interested in Daymond Langkow and Cory Sarich, both tradable (beneficial for Calgary) due to their salaries.

June 30 2009

BOB GAINEY did not get his trade now watch him over pay to get players to play on this team god i dont know why he has a job the molson boys should kick him to the curb before he makes many mastakes vinny is not the olny centermen if your going to trade whole team get kopitar i hope bob dont ruin us

June 29 2009

NYR Rosival and Zheredev for Heatly

June 28 2009

Mike Modano has been talking to friends about returning to Minnesota.

Why would gainey waste his time on Vinny there young and bigger centermen out there sign our free agents and get them for less money and then sign sedin twins jordon stall is the man we need not a over paid french player come on BOB trade for jordin show us fans that you know how to make a winning team

TAMPA BAY has suck for 2 or 3 years vinny is over rated look it the players on that team he plays with to finish that bad season in and season out and being over paid as well i think montreal should stay away from him i would go after a younger centermen a kopitar or stall and the sedin twins habs59

The original rumor had Kaberle along with Toronto 7th overall pick this year to Boston for Kessel. Later was determined that Toronto was offering Kaberle but it would be Kessel and a draft pick going to Toronto. Not sure if it was Bostons 1st round pick ( Jordan Caron )but assuming so. So as a Bruins fan I loved the first deal rumored but now seeing who they picked along with Kessel I would not do that trade. Jordan Caron is a big centerman who plays with edge like Lucic. No deal.

Here is what the Bruins need to do.
Let the following players walk via free agency :
Axellson / Yelle / Hnidy $ 4-5 million
Sign Kessel / Recchi / Bitz $ 5-7 million
Trade Ward or Ference or both ( $ 5 million ) along with prospect Zach Hammel To Toronto for Kaberle ( $ 4.25 million )

Bostons defence would then = Chara, Kaberle, Wideman, Hunwick, Montador, Stuart + prospects that can work into the system

Possible trade brewing between Toronto and Atlanta. Thrashers want Kaberle and are offering one of Lehtonen or Pavelec and a prospect. Toronto won't commit to the trade as they are awaiting Jonas Gustavsson's decision as to where he will sign along with hearing other teams offers. Kaberle will not be traded until July 1 at the earliest.

Calgary, Dallas, Minnesota, Toronto, and Vancouver are believed to be interested in acquiring Johnny Oduya's rights, however New Jersey are believed to have presented a 3yr/$11.5 million offer to re-sign him.

June 27 2009

WHAT IS THE lEAF TRADE? WITH A PICK FROM tORONTO OR A PICK FROM bOSTON?

To Toronto:
B. Schenn
5th round pick (#125) from LA

To Ottawa:
N. Kadri
O. Moller
A. Frolov
2nd round pick (#35) from LA

To Los Angeles:
D. Heatley
2nd round pick (#50) from TOR

June 26 2009

Heatley and Spezza to NYI for 1rst pick overall 2009 and 2010.

Gilbert Cogliano 10th overall and next years 2 rounder for Heatly your thoughts?


I also heard Nilsson for Tootoo which makes no sense to me an Edmonton fan but we are talking Nashville

I don't like seeing trades involving Kessel out of Boston. I really think they will find a way to keep him. How could you think of trading a 21 year ols with mountains of potential still ahead of him and WANTS to stay in Boston. I think they make moves but this would be utterly stupid. Just my opinion. Sturm would bring interest and has $3.5 million per year he can take with him. Don't trade Kessel !!!!!

June 25 2009

The Los Angeles Kings are the most interested in Dany Heatley than any other NHL team who wants him. If the Kings GM Dean Lombardi does get Heatley, he would trade Kings forward Alex Frolov, Kings defencemen Jack Johnson, and a fifth round draft pick for Dany Heatley.

June 24 2009

Lecavalier and St-Louis in Montreal before thursday!

Tampaa Bay trades 2nd Overall pick to Nashville for Shea Weber

Jay Bouwmeester signs with the Dallas Stars On July 1st

June 23 2009

Hemsky part of the three way deal because he is unhappy in Edmonton. Boston interested in him because of his $ 4.1 million per year contract which is affordable and has a couple years left on it. Heatly $ 7.5 Miilion can be gobbled up by Edmonton and Kessel projected to make between $ 5 and $ 6 million which the Bruins can not really afford because they have others to sign as well so Ottawa very interested in obtaining Kessels goal scoring touch that will fill the void when H

23 June 2009

The Kings have the cap room to absorb Heatley's contract. The Kings have would be thrilled at Heatley and Kopitar playing together. This could push the Kings back into the playoffs with the addition of some young talent that will make the team this year.

Kings would send Oscar Moller, Kyle Quincey, Colten Teubert and their 2009 1st RND draf pick to Ottawa. Kings would recieve Danny Heatley, Cody Bass, Mattias Karlsson and Peter Wiercioch.

June 22 2009

If Heatley is not staying in Canada he will be going to San Jose for Joe Thornton. San Jose is ready to try something new with Thornton being a dissappointment once again this playoff season. Thornton is 30 and Heatley is 28, this deal makes sense.

June 21 2009

This rumor is no pipe dream. Ottawa wants the young forwards because they are as if not more affordable than Heatly and they need to make up the scoring that leaves when Heatly goes. The puck moving D-man you and everyone else will be seeking is available July 1 and goes by the name of Jay Bouwmeester. Every team involved in the 3-way deal either gets better on the ice or remains status quo with the exeption of having a more affordable product. Check out the salaries ( perfect sense ).

Major four-team trade: Heatley from Ottawa to L.A. for Kings first round pick; Briere from Philly to Tampa for Lecavalier, then Lecavalier from Flyers to Ottawa for the Kings pick while Briere sent by Lightning to L.A. for Jack Johnson and picks. T.B. also gets prospect from Ottawa.

Phoenix needs a big, # 1 center, Phi needs a good young goalie to work with Emery, so:

Phoenix: Mueller, Montoya, Dawes
Philly : Carter

Phoenix gets its big center and Philly gets a good young goalie (from the area) and 2 young forwards.And now Briere and Richards center top 2 lines and Philly also gets some cap relief.

Kaberle Yandle
Mayers Dawes
2010 1st rnder (from Calgary)

Spezza Stajan
Lee Kubina
Ponikarovsky

Ottawa gets to start over with Spezza's overpriced salary gone to TO for an offensive D with size and some
depth up front. Burke gets the big # 1 center he covets
who is a better player than Tavares will ever hope to be.

Bob gainey could offer koivu 2.5 or 3 million least sign one player and offer #27 3 or 3.5 and tangauy 4or 4.5 million least or do something soon before it to late or he will over pay later then he can sign the twins there tough enough and 80 points a year thats better than the three people that are on this form and maybe trade for jordon stall and sign chris neil

Montreal Canadiens is sold to the molson brothers good now we can make our moves congratulations molson brothers now that being said make us proud again a winning team good luck with this

Flames talk with Sens for Heatley.

Just the rumor that I have heard from a source inside of the Flames Organization that a proposal has been made and it is being seriously considered by Ottawa management.

Ottawa would send Danny Heatley and Anton Volchenkov to Calgary for Greg Nemisz, Adam Pardy, T.J Brodie, Leland Irving and Calgary's 2009 1st round pick.

June 20 2009

First off, Ottawa needs a puck moving D-man, so the thought of them trading Heatley for a pair of forwards is a pipe dream. So no Hemsky, or Kessel to Ottawa for anyone. If the Oilers want Heatley, it would be for a sniper winger to go with Hemsky.

Gilbert or Smid, Pisani and Schremp plus a pick for Heatley and Campoli.

Phx: Jovanoski Phi: Briere
Mueller Coburn

June 18 2009

Alright this is getting exciting. New rumor has a three way deal involving Ottawa, Boston and Edmonton.

Ottawa to get F Phil Kessel and F Sam Ganger
Boston to get F Ales Hemsky and F Nick Foligno
Edmonton to get F Dany Heatly and F Marco Sturm

Makes perfect cap sense for everyone as Edmonton has the most cap room and can absorb Heatlys $4 million bonus. Looks like a Win Win Win for all three teams.

Shawn horcoff to san jose for patrick marleau heard from a close friend in the oiler organization

June 17 2009

HEATLEY FOR TOEWS AND BARKER!

June 15 2009

Kessel, Bergeron, Sturm
for
Heatley, Fisher and Foligno

Pronger to LA for Jack Johnson

Dany Heatley and Chris Phillips to Edmonton for Hemskey , Smid.

June 13 2009

Wild rumor out of Boston has Chara returning to Ottawa along with Phil Kessel for Dany Heatly and Chris Phillips. Rumors persisting that now Heatly would prefer a canadian based team however his ice time issue would not be an issue in Boston and he would be the main piece on the first power-play unit. Rumors claiming then that if that trade would happen the Bruins would persue either Pronger or Bouwmeester to replace the big man ( Chara ).

Montreal should get rid of mr gainey he had the job for five years and look at how close he been at winning the cup he made countless screw ups come on you should have sign some other players during the season now they can wait for a better deal or drive up there price because they can get more from a nother team you should learn from your mastakes but every year you screw up and give false hope to us fans

June 10 2009

Gainey will not do much because he is a joke and the rumor is he wants to give #27 a big raise he nuts if anything 4million is plenty for that player

Now you hear philly making this deal or that deal the truth is there screw olny if other teams take on there mistakes they can make trades but if your going to help them you should ask for richards or carter not little beire or some other high price player off there team they got greedy now let them pay

Do you think gainey sign the sedin twins and#27 and higgins tanguay naw I dreaming he not that smart

Dany Heatly requesting a trade from the Senators. I have a guy with the Senators organization who is close to Heatly and he says he wants to go to Boston. Figuring in on a package deal that would likely include Phil Kessel going to Ottawa. Salary cap obviously a factor so we'll see. Rumors will likely heat up in the next few days.

June 05 2009

THE BOSTON BRUINS HAVE RE-SIGNED RESTRICTED FREE AGENT DAVID KREJCI TO MULTI YEAR EXTENSION DEAL!!!! TERMS OF THE DEAL NOT DISCLOSED

Toronto go get braden scheen he is the face with luke

May 30 2009

If gainey give kovy a big raise he is the biggest idiot in the league why don't they just fire him and pay someone else 7 million dollars

May 28 2009

I see Gainey must have read my idea about Boston signing away Kovalev because he apparently has offered a deal to Kovalev and even is going to make him captain if he signs. That is ok. Peter Chirelli knows what he needs to be better including not over using players ( Chara ) and having everyone a 100% and not caring about where they place in the standings because obviously, that don't mean anything. Place your bets Pronger ? Bowmeester ? coming to Boston via however.

May 27 2009

Boston guy here. I think we need to make a deal to create space for...wait for it...Alex Kovalev !!! NO I am not on crack. Think about it. Power play. On line with Savard and Lucic. Marquee player who Julien could get alot of mileage out of this gut at least for one year. Most important, he wouldn't be playing against us. How much more would Boston have dominated with this guy out of the Habs line up, never mind injected into ours. Just not sure who to move. Have Axellson's spot maybe. Let Thornton, Axellson, Recchi walk ?

May 19 2009

IF bob gainey traded for daniel beire he needs to be band from hockey he is to expensive and to small cant gainey figure it out you need size I wish he would watch the rest of the playoffs maybe he would learn something about winning as a manager as a plaYER he had a good coach and the desire to play hard to win

After hearing the Toronto Maple Leafs trade rumors with the Tampa Bay Lightning I was highly doubtful the Brian Burke would ever dream of dealing his 2 star defense men for the likes of gritty Ryan Malone and a shot at landing John Tavares at the 09 entry draft. If the Islanders were to draft Tavares over Hedman, the leafs would be landing just another rookie defense-man perfectly equal to youngster Luke Schenn. This compares to gambling at the casino if you know what I'm saying but Brian Burke has put these rumors to rest

May 18 2009

Toronto trade kaberle and white to tampa for there 2nd pick

Toronto trade's kubina kaberle and schen and 7th pick for tampa 2nd pick and gets stamkos

May 16 2009

I wish montreal would sell the team so they can replace BOB GAINEY

My Bruins are done but I gotta say; for a team that was supposed to struggle to even make the playoffs, you ( Bruins ) have made huge strides this year. Keep your heads up, you showed a ton of heart in the final three games and I know you WILL improve next year. Looking forward to it.

May 13 2009

Gainey please quit you suck as a coach and GM that was the team to win the cup boy that shows you what you know one more week the team would not been in the playoffs step down please

May 11 2009

If bob was smart he would stay away from a vinny trade and tell everybody he is not interested and then this team can move forward we need to get bigger all around up front and back

May 10 2009

Where is the Wizard of OZ when you need him ? Boston Bruins need Heart and fast. Is it possible to take a team that litely that you would put yourselves in a 3-1 hole. Boston still has the players to accomplish a series win against Carolina and do it this year but they need a serious injection of Heart. Kessel seems out of it but at times Boston can dominate and then just collapse like thier mind is on somthing else. Wee, against the wall and the Hurricane is rising to catagory 5, lets figure it out. Go Bruins Go !!!

May 09 2009

Do or die tonight for my B's. Forget games 2 and 3 and play the way that got you to #1 in the East and through the first five games. Forget specific matchups. Roll 4 lines, focus like never before and giver snoose. Go Boston Go !!!

Boston logo " We Want It " . OK what exactly is it that you want ? It sure isn't the Stanley Cup. Where is the Heart ? What the Hell is going on ? This is real goddamn emberrasing. Totally lifeless. What a stink fest. Listen up ! Bench the following Kessel ( heartless ), Montador ( sucks ), Recchi ( too small and slow ) then put Wheeler with Savard in Kessels place and Bitz on the left and put Lucic with Krejki and Ryder to jump start them. Sobotaka in for Recchi. Couple other Providence boys to round things out. GO !

May 08 2009

Rumours are that Montreal is working out a trade With Toronto.

The Deal includes rookie Luke Schenn and Montreal's PK Subban

More to come about that deal

May 07 2009

How is the Chara vs Staal matchup Claude ? Chara and Montador are costing Boston this series. How many damn give aways have to happen Big Z. Shake up the damn lines. Wheeler is struggling and would be better suited with Savard and create a little more offence. Lucic can play anywhere. Montador flat out sucks. Bring in Bitz and Hnidy and throw Axellson on the blueline as he has fit in there before. Forget the damn matchup and just go play your ass off. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR !!! F'N MAD !!!

May 05 2009

MONTREAL should sign the twin from vancouver and get rid of saku and bob gainey that would be a good start for this year

May 03 2009

Montreal time to get rid of small forwards

THE owner of montreal should sell now while the new owner can fire gainey and start fresh and make a new team

April 27 2009

Finally Burke makes a moving

he got tavares for a huge price of Brad May,

good move by burke IMO

April 25 2009

Does anyone know what the salary cap will be next year or have they not announced it yet ?

April 24 2009

Finally it will get done. Burke will make a block buster deal which will bring Mike Camellari and Bertuzzi to the leafs. Bertuzzi has always been a Burke type player and Mike is from Toronto and would love to come home and where the Blue and white. In return Matt Stajan is on his way along with a third round draft choice.

April 23 2009

Well montreal lost four straight now this is the team that was suppose to win the cup this team suck since dec bob had lots of time to fix this team but did not he has to take the blame for this disastor time to pass the torch bob you blew it

April 16 2009

Torontos 1st pick for tampa bays 1st and Ryan Malone

April 07 2009

THE owner of montreal should fire Bob gainey markov and snieder went down they need a puck moving d-man that means bringing up Subban no bob is showing what he knows which is nothing

April 03 2009

Forget about JayBo going to Edmonton or Calgary as rumours have it.Yes he is a hometown boy but they just don't have the cap space.Look for Vancouver,Toronto or Ottawa(if they get rid of 1 of the top 3 fowards ie:Spezza) to show some interest in him.Vancouver unloads Sundin leaving capspace or depending on what Toronto picks up in offseason will be factor for JayBo future destination.Also U.S.A.option is L.A. lots of capspace and from atlantic ocean to the pacific ocean would be a nice fit.

April 02 2009

Grabovsky is 4th in rookie points,ahead of Wheeler and Stamkos(#1draft pick-haha)..(he's got 15 points in last 8 games)and is only 5 points back of the Rookie Lead...What the Hell was Montreal thinking giving up on this guy(for a 2nd pick)..He's doing better than almost all the 1st rounder this year..He reminds me of a Young Gilmour,watch the way he skates and his offensive moves,then also his stature..What a steal!!
-------------------------------------------------------
Leafs just signed Christian Hanson,his dad is Dave Hanson...One of the Star's in the Movie "SLAPSHOT-the Hanson brothers"...He is a huge offensive player...Ron Wilson called signing him.."A free First Round Pick"
I am so glad Toronto has Burke and Wilson guiding the Leaf future...Toronto has always been a Sterling Silver Champion Team...People have just taken it for granted for too many years and the luster has dimmed...It's going to take alot of work to make this team shine again...I think these boys are willing to do the work,and when all is said and done..There's going to be one Hell of a Party on Yonge st...The only Question will be..Did you stick with the team through the dark days...or are you just a bandwagon leach...Beer's are not free for you..I remember what you said..LOL

Once again it's playoff time and I'm wondering,why can't every team play for something in the playoff.With a 32 team league.Top 16 play for stanley cup.bottom 16 play for Draft picks.This system would ensure teams were always commited to winning,The first over-all pick should be a reward for winning,not for losing..Is it fare to the best players coming into the league to goto the worst team..people will argue and say..the bottom teams would stay at the bottom..Not true...Teams can always sign Free agents,plus this system would remove the rental player(Teams out of the Cup run-would hold there good players,for a shot at the #1 draft pick)Rental player's are not fare to the other clubs...I would change the rule...to any player traded must play one entire season with that club before being traded...If a player should be in last year of a multi year contract-and is trade at the dead-line..would play in the playoff that year..and the entire next season..before he could be traded...Then I would get rid of Over-Time in the Regular season...Over-Time was one of the most exciting times in sports..Now it's like someone watered down your favorite drink and is Pouring it down your throat...Bettman has ruined the game of Hockey..
