SJS re-signs Roenick -- TSN

SJS re-signs Roenick -- TSN
What a freaking goldmine JR was for SJS this season.
Out of his fourteen goals for the season, he had ten game-winning goals! (I know he got at least two shootout GWG's also, but I'm not sure those are included in those ten). Also, four of those fourteen were the all-important first goal of game goals. He skated mostly fourth line and second PP unit, with seven PP goals.
Talk about adding some energy... goals are the best energy any player on the fourth line can add. Heck, any line for that matter.
In the playoffs, he chipped in 5 points with two goals.
And all that only cost San Jose less than George Parros' salary.
Such a deal!
Meanwhile, the Ducks paid Todd Bertuzzi $4mil for the same number of goals (14), but only 2 game-winners. He had no goals in the playoffs, but two assists. Bert played in 74 games for the Ducks, while the Sharks got 81 games out of Roenick.
But Todd did manage to skate 170 more minutes than JR. Maybe those and his seven more assists were worth $3.5mil...

Killer deal for Blues
I think Emery will be grabbed by a team.
Cloutier will stay in LA and be bought out. Honestly, The Kings should try to claim Emery. Just to get SOME kind of competent goaltending for once. I don't care about the Kings so I'm not too sure if Bernier will be ready.

Whoa, Emery on waivers and mentioned in the same breath as Dan Cloutier? Boy, what a fall from grace. Makes sense for the Sens, though.

That's what I'm expecting to hear tomorrow...

If this should happen I will party til it's 1999...whoops, 2999!
I'm surprised they didn't give up their 2nd for him.

Doubtful. At his current salary of $3mil per year, I'm betting he clears waivers, gets bought out by the Sens, and then signs as SOMEBODY'S backup for under a $mil. Too big of a risk at his current contract....but an acceptable risk at a 1year lower price contract.

According to some sources he has cleared waivers...
Joe Sakic is trying to decide to play one more year, or retire. Another older one, DK, dropping off.......
Avery heading to FA -- TSN
Why did they sign that guy to a two year extention before he even played 10 games for the Kings? On top of that when they knew of his past awfulness?
Wellwood, Raycroft (Toronto) Denis (TBL) placed on waivers (TSN).

The Ducks should claim Stumpel.
According to Eklund (insert grain of salt reference) both Malone and Roberts have signed with TBL.

Hard to understand that from either end, IMO, if that's the case.
I know Melrose is in love with Malone, but seems like they don't have the cap space and I have no idea why Malone would limit his options just days from UFA to go to the worst team in the league.

Minnesota trade Rolston's right to ... you guessed it, TBL 
QUOTE
The Wild will get a selection in either the 2009 or 2010 draft. The pick will depend on whether Tampa Bay re-signs Rolston before they know what pick Minnesota will get in the deal.

I love how last place teams like Philadelphia and Tampa Bay have been pro active in turning their franchises around quickly. Hartnell, Timonen, Malone and not possibly Rolston will be signed for the price of a few measley draft picks.
Meanwhile back in LA..........BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!
Meanwhile back in LA..........BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!
I don't think they're going to be able Rolston.
Now confirmed that Roberts also signed with TBL -- TSN
In related news TBL signs every single existing RFA and UFA and will start the season with 86 players on the roster

According to Spector's, Friesen will attend the SJS' training camp on a tryout basis.
Anyone following the "Meszaros offer sheet" saga on the rumor boards?
It may or may not be happening...but the entertainment value of the Dueling Rumor mongers is priceless.
The short version:
- Bryan Murray says he's not close to signing Meszaros in a TSN interview yesterday.
- THN reports last night that Meszaros (Ottawa), has signed an offer sheet with an unknown team at $5mil per year.
- Rumor sites name about half a dozen teams as possible...(none agreeing with the other, of course).
- By this morning, everyone's sure it's the Lightning. But the Lightning don't own their own 3rd rounder. So the 5mil offersheet can't already be signed, and at this point CAN'T be completed.
- Now, two sources on Hockey Buzz are in complete disagreement: One says TBL has traded with PIT to get their pick back. The other (Eklund) says no such trade has taken place.
Wish I had a beer and some popcorn. This is fun.
