Nick Schultz to the Flyers

Tye McGinn traded to the Sharks for a pick

Islanders really want to challenge Edmonton, Florida & Washington for dumbest signings eh?

Can we add Toronto into that list with Phaneuf and Clarkson? What else do you expect Snow to do? If those two get chemistry with a 3rd guy, it'll be a leathal secondary line to Tavares/KO/??

Nonis is last year's head dummy. It'll be pretty tough to overcome Washington though. Dropping $70M for two guys that the vaunted Penguins defensive system decided were no good anymore should lead to some great comedy. Good on Niskanen though for turning one half-decent season into a lifetime sinecure though.

I'm just curious to see if Orpik's "clean" hits stay unnoticed now he's not with the queen.

Radim Vrbata has signed a 2-year, $10M deal with the Canucks.

Seems like a lot of movement this year. The west teams are sure beefing up.

And in San Jose's case, dumbing down. Seriously, John Scott?

He will spend the rest of his career suspended now.
