I cant wait to see what the Caps are paying him ---

4 years, $3M per season.

Hobby thought: Erik Cole and Peter Budaj both have pretty nice signatures.

Like the Barker signing (worth the gamble). Hordichuk makes for a decent 13th forward, I guess?

Add another couple of players to track down RCs / Autos / GUs from.

Heard rumors that Foster + Draft Pick for Andy Sutton. Could have another player to chase soon too.

Edmonton signs Cam Barker and Darcy Hordichuk

He had some really strong numbers last year. His 26G would have been 2nd on the Habs last year. I'm interested to see where they'll pair him - Plekanec or Gomez?

Cammalleri - Plekanec - Cole would look pretty good to me

Now we need some toughness for the 4th line and we're set... oh and we need to sign Gorges too, but that shouldn't be a problem

Benoit Pouliot to the Bruins. OK, well at least I have a venue to dump my stuff.

Versteeg to Panthers

I agree on that top line. That's got some really nice potential to it. If Gomez gets it together, second line would be Pacioretty - Gomez - Gionta.

Each line would have the skilled centre, a sniper, and a power guy. Nice formula.

Close it's Sutton for Foster

Ville Leino to the Sabres! 6yrs, $27M. They're really enjoying this newfound ability to over-spend.
