The Best of the Rest

As a lot of you may know (unless you where on Mars hanging upside down in a cave) the FA period is pretty much over and there is still some good talent out there willing to get a job. Here is a descriptive list of who is still good and where they might end up.

Ladislav Nagy: His production has been declining but I think he can still pull it off for a comeback. This guy has just too much of a raw scoring touch to be left rotting in the FA market. Team’s that are pitching out some offers are the Thrasher’s, Islander’s (it’s between him and Parrish) and……The Canucks….hmmm maybe plan B in case that bald Swedish guy doesn’t sign.

Dan Cloutier: Might as well give him a shot, the team that will sign him might get either a formidable backup goalie or an NHL finished player. Where he might end up I have no idea, but Colorado might be a candidate or a team not too sure about their backup.

Bryan Berard: Didn’t have that much of a bad season at 800k. This guy will get one last chance and the team to hand him that last chance will be the one that drafted him…yes the Predators and Senators (question of just connecting the dots) or else he might go to Europe.

Marek Malik : Another guy that still has something to prove . But seeing how he might end up in Russia teams might stay away from because he can use the KHL as leverage. If he does decide to stay in the NHL the Senators are considering him and the Rangers might give him a second shot for less.

Mark Parrish : Good for more than 15 goals and he could be a good temporary second line winger. For sure he still has some fight left in him and the teams that want him are the Kings, Islanders,Predators and Canucks.

Glen Murray: Because age is catching up to him he had a terrible season, maybe if he did the same thing he did last season for less he could be an interesting acquisition , look for Nashville to give him an offer or the Kings.

Brendan Shanahan: No need to explain that its either the Rangers or retirement (although the Devils are interested but I dought it with their current pay roll).

Chris Chelios: Surprising Detroit didn’t sign him…..oh yeah they got Brad Stuart, better, faster, stronger and YOUNGER. So where will he end up. Will he play for free in Detroit or will teams actually approach him with an offer…..or will it be the end of the line for Cheli. He once said on HNIC after hours that a team he would like to play for are the NY Rangers.

Stoll Resigned?

The Los Angeles Kings apparently Have a verbal contract agreement with newly acquired Jared Stoll. No word on how long or how much money but im hearing rumors of it being a 4 year contract extension. The deal will become official when Stoll gets back from New Zealand where he was on a trip with his Fiance.

Higgins For O'Sullivan COMPLETELY FALSE

I Talked To Josh The King,The LA Kings Blogger For Our Website, This Is What He Said About The Higgins For O'Sullivan Rumor:
"Only thing I have heard is the O'Sullivan for Higgins is complete bullshit"

The habs have shown lots of interest in O'Sullivan but the Kings apparently have no intention of trading him.

Eklund confirms our Bouwmeester rumors!

While I don't really like the guy he is now confirming what we have already stated that the Leafs are in on Bouwmeester. I would like to point out that Scotty and I were the 1st ones to come out with this rumor and would like people to realize that if this does happen people can finally give us the credit we deserve.

On to other news: There are a bunch of rumored spots for McCabe right now including the Islanders, Panthers, Penguins (Don't see this one happening) and the Rangers (No Cap Space)

I think Fletcher is right when he says the return would not be that significant and could only be a contract for contract swap. The Leafs would also more than likely get a low level prospect and or pick for McCabe.

McCabe to Islanders?

News this morning and while its allready been reported here on our fine website I have a bit more info. According to a source close to the situation the Islanders have indeed inquired about the availability of 33 year old D Bryan McCabe.

The package offered to the Leafs was a little wrong however!

To Toronto:D Chris Campoli, 3rd round pick is the actual deal that I've heard whether this is correct I'm not sure at this moment but I will find out like I always do.

There is another rumor out there that the Leafs signed F Ladislav Nagy I would like to reiterate that this was false. TheFan590 1st reported this yesterday and I just want to make it clear that it is not true.

On D Pavel Kubina in 3 days the defensemans window to trade him closes I think its quite evident at this point he won't be moved I truly feel that there will be some kind of trade in the next few weeks leading up to training camp.

Fletcher has been quoted that he will attempt to make one of his "HOMERUN" trades we have yet to see it.
