All I can say about the draft is : Way yo go Pitsburgh !! They are going to have an incredible team with another offensive talent like Esposito . They are now set to go pretty far .

Nikkala made me do it!
Yup, that's all the Penguins needed, ANOTHER ... FREAKING ... CENTER! :crash:
The draft was pretty boring for blockbuster trades , I hope it's going to get better later this month .
I have to agree. That was pretty boring. There was tons of rumors leading up to it and then nothing. I shut it off after the Flyers made their first round pick.
It was over for me right after Montreal made their second selection in the first round .
The problem with picking with Cherepanov was because alot of teams were staying away because there's no agreement with Russia on players coming over to the U.S. I like it to call it The Malkin Clause.

Then they need to go all Mission: Impossible like Malkin did!
Esposito would have had so much pression in Montreal that it would have never worked for him there . He probably would have ended up like Eric chouinard and have his carreer over after about 4 years . So going to pitsburgh is the best thing that could have happened to him .
Yesterday , the Lightning announced that they offered Marc Denis to the other 29 NHL teams and had no takers . So they will keep him instead of buying him out . I am ever so pissed . I tought he would be gone from the roster before the new season begins .
. I tought he would be gone from the roster before the new season begins .They have set the number for the salary cap for the 2007-2008 season . It's gonna be 50.3 million . I think it's great news if it gives teams more options .

May just lead right back to the salary issues the league had before. I hope not.
Danny Briere is my hero for the time being. http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/article.jsp?content=20070629_185523_2128
Screw the Sabres and the city of Buffalo. If they're going to low-ball him with crappy offers then they don't deserve to keep him. Chris Drury could be the next one leaving. The fans in Buffalo can take comfort in one thing...you were really good for atleast 2 years.

Well , it is July 1st let's see how crazy those general managers go for free agents . Let the games begin !!! :nanner:
I was just about to post the link to it. In a perfect world I would have like Drury. I'll take Briere. The money and length of contract is a little nutty but it's Philadelphia. If he can produce playing with a guy like Gagne then I'll learn to live with it.
