Ryan Miller is a Vancouver Canuck

I'm very interested in how this team plays next season.

@Real_ESPNLeBrun

Ales Hemsky has agreed to terms with the Dallas Stars

[SimonSin 192]

You know what?

f*** Dan Boyle anyway.

And f*** the Rangers. Why would Boyle want to go there? What’s so special about them? They were over-rated last year, benefiting from an inspired Habs victory over Boston. They are going to be worse this year without Poulliot, Brian Boyle, Stralman, Brassard, etc.

I agree. I just had family in from New York and they even said that the Rangers surprised the hell out of everyone going to the finals. They won't be much next year. i wasn't crazy about Boyle coming here anyway.

[wings_fanatic 677]

I wannt Jim Nil back!

[T.Low 1,011]

Honestly, everybody should live in NYC for two years. It's a cool place as long as you don't stay too long.

[Frozen-Man 144]

He's not the Stuart we remember. Not even close.

I agree he has declined a fair bit but I still think he would be good for the team.

[rick zombo 3,739]

So far Dallas is having a good day. Spezza and Hemsky for prospects, picks, and cash. Not too shabby.

Wow Nill is killing it right now!

Except if Holland signed Hemsky, everyone on this forums would want him crucified.

Ryan Miller's deal with VAN is three years with an AAV of $6M .

[kipwinger 8,670]

Anybody doubt that Nill being aggressive this year and last will make his team more desirable to free agents going forward?

[Frozen-Man 144]

Elliotte Friedman
@FriedgeHNIC

Hemsky is 3 yrs, $4M AAV in DAL

[kipwinger 8,670]

Except if Holland signed Hemsky, everyone on this forums would want him crucified.

I don't want him either. He doesn't fit here. We've got skilled, playmaking, forwards here. But he's a good signing in Dallas.

[T.Low 1,011]

Nill, back to back big years!

[Frozen-Man 144]

Except if Holland signed Hemsky, everyone on this forums would want him crucified.

I agree, LGW would be in melt down mode for $4M for Hemsky for the next 3 years.

[kipwinger 8,670]

I agree, LGW would be in melt down mode for $4M for Hemsky for the next 3 years.

Because he'd be redundant on our team. He plays the same game as Nyquist, who we already have. But he's a good signing for Dallas.

You don't say... hmmm... doesn't the old saying go: "when the student becomes the master."

[Dabura 12,228]

I agree he has declined a fair bit but I still think he would be good for the team.

In what way, though? He's a third paring guy whose strengths are all failing him and whose weaknesses are extremely pronounced. I'd rather have Ouellet or Marchenko, personally.

so we still look like favs for Niskanen and Vanek plus Volchenkov i can live with that

I've lived here for 10. (Specifically in Brooklyn) It's definitely losing it's shine.

[wings4thecup06 504]

Vanek? Source?

[rick zombo 3,739]

Does Niskanen have a farm in Wisconsin?

[Mors 201]

Stuart traded to Colorado? I hope he wasn't too settled in Cali.

[matt198913 932]

Vanek? Source?

Im fairly certain its a joke

[kipwinger 8,670]

You don't say... hmmm... doesn't the old saying go: "when the student becomes the master."

It's like Luke and Yoda...accept less cool because in this scenario Holland is Yoda and he's slowly dying.

[Frozen-Man 144]

I think $4M is a little high for Hemsky either way but I mostly agree with you, which is why I was saying earlier, as much as I like Nill, what he needs to do in Dallas is vastly different and easier than what Holland needs to do in Detroit.

In other news, Jay Baruchel is really pantsed about the Gorges trade. He's tweeting like an LGWer
