Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)

One caveat to the Yandle rumours is the uncertainty with McDonough's glass jaw. How long will he actually be out?

Buffy $8 million, $8 million, $8 million, $8 million, $6 Million

I'm a bit surprised the Jets were able to re-sign Buffy. I really thought he was going to test the market, but the Jets did pay up for him. Would have been interesting to see him become a UFA and see if we have a chance on him. Always luved Buffy and he would have been sweet here as he totally fits the bill on what we need. Oh well, Lucic would be great too, would luv to see JB try to court him.

Not surprised ole Buffy signed with the Jets, he grew up not too far from Winnipeg across the border in the states

Malcom Subban takes puck to throat, fractures larynx.

Gustavsson still having trouble with his heart rate?
Wow. I think he has had surgery to fix that twice...
Maybe he needs to get a pacemaker?

Good to hear that Subban seems to be doing OK though.

[Rumsfeld]

He plays for the Bruins.

Can't bring myself to care.

For the rest of his life folks are gonna look at that scar and wonder.

Doc. Cut the kid some slack.

It's a sin that hasn't happened to more Bruins players.

I didn't realize how many points Karlsson has. Dude's a machine.

[Rumsfeld]

OV with his 31st. It would be cool to see him get his seventh 50-goal season this year. Only Bossy and 99 have more than six.

Yup. Going for his third Norris Trophy.

And at 25 years of age, he should soon be reaching his prime.

(Lidström was 30 when he received the first of his seven Norisses)

Gillis could have drafted Karlsson but the idiot picked centre Cotton Hill Hodgson when we already had two excellent centres in their prime - Kesler and Hank.

Yeah I remember the outrage at the time. Gillis was the only GM to pass on Karlsson.

I wonder if there will be any players who turn out to be awesome picked after Benning's selections in the last couple years. Probably not right.

Pretty good chance there will be a lot of posts about guys picked after Virtanen years from now.

Looking back at the draft, one that still gets me is Jordan Staal #2 before Toews #3. That one would hurt.

For those lost in time, Erhoff on waivers today.

IMO, Benning should claim him.

1.5 Million, UFA at the end of the year, get him for nothing to at least replace Edler for the next 3 weeks, and he'd become the best point man on the PP for this team.
