Hockey Returns: 2005

[Rusicade]

Big(?) free agent signing-Peter Bondra has signed with the Thrashers.

The Canadiens re-signed Michael Ryder for a million for a year.

LA Kings forward Trent Klatt has retired. 700 games or so and 350 points.

[Rusicade]

Err...the NHL and XM have agreed on a ten-year deal. Wonder if I have XM..

The Blues signed Scott Young...

And the Kings have named Mattias Norstrom captain. Again.

[Rusicade]

Old news, I know, but Ron Francis retired.

Ryan Smyth has been re-signed by the Oilers.

The Blues named Dallas Drake their captain today.

and...

Rick Nash could miss the rest of training camp with an ankle injury.

[pineapple]

Raycroft has finally re-signed with the Bs.

[JR.]

Raycroft has finally re-signed with the Bs.

It's about time, now they need to get Boynton signed.

[Rusicade]

The Bruins are reportedly looking for a deal involving their behemoth of a defenseman Hal Gill. It will make room for Boynton...

The Islanders plan to name Alexei Yashin their captain. Bah, I say he doesn't deserve it. Although thinking of a better candidate is hard...

[Rusicade]

Just when you thought the Red Wings were out of contention for the Stanley Cup, they re-sign Pavel Datsyuk! Hard luck for Avangard, though.

And hard luck for me. I don't like the Wings.

[Rusicade]

Another victim of concussion woes, Adam Deadmarsh has retired.


This also means that all elite NHLer's are signed.

[Rusicade]

The Ranger's goalie of the future (Or at least until Al Montoya's ready) Dan Blackburn retired. I didn't expect it...but he didn't play last season because of an injury, which is most likely the cause of his retirement.

[Rusicade]

The Devils-needing to clear up some payroll space-traded Jeff Friesen to the Caps-who desperately need a good, if not elite, scoring touch-for a conditional draft pick.
