The Minnesota Wild, on the 4th of July, as we know got Parise/Suter.
The question is- does this have 2011 Eagles written all over it?

OK, so how did both sides agree to the revenue/sharing of the pie which basically divided them for months?

Because he's the only one in the league not in hockey shape.

slickness - yeah, he IS the only one not in shape! Not sure if this is true but Bob McKenzie is reporting Kovalchuk may not be returning. Darren Dreger is mentioning it on the radio now. Supposedly he's being paid as much there as he would here. He's also mentioned that Bryz has a special signing bonus in his contract there - he gets an extra 200,000 for every win. Edit: He also just said that according to his sources, the reason for the hold-up with the PK signing is that he apparently wants Drew Doughty money.

At least Brad Doty (sorry that joke never gets old) was nominated for a Norris on his second year to demand that money. Just when I decided to stop hating the NHLPA you had to bust all these NEWZ upon us Darth Alexander.

Sorry supersweet, can't help it.
PK asking for that kind of cash is pretty outrageous. Win something first guy, then we'll talk.
Bob McKenzie is usually pretty spot on. He doesn't know what to make of it either. Hopefully for Flyer fans he'll (Bryz) stay in the KHL.
I wonder how fast it'll take the Islanders to get rid of DiPietro?

So will Tim Thomas keep his word and continue to sit out the rest of the season?

Next season when he'll join the dubious class of Gomez, Redden, Horcoff, Kaberle, etc. Also now CBA talks over it's nothing but Luongo trade rumours. Here is the latest scoop. The leading candidates: -Florida -Toronto The maybe: -Edmonton Oilers -Chicago Blackhawks (LOL) The I s*** You Not But This Team Has Their Names Attached To Trade Rumours by Some Sources: {Spoiler}BOSTON BRUINS!!!!! Edit: Shawn Horcoff did a interview saying he believes he'll not be bought out next season and his play speaks for himself!!! He may not suck as much Gomez does or doesn't have a worse contract than him, but being in Fehrs innercircle of players and constant complaining and acting like he's been a better Oilers captain than Messier or Gretzky, I'd say he's more annoying than Gomez. At least Gomez knows he sucks, seems to be thankful for his inflated contract, and doesn't try to pass himself off as God's gift to hockey.

Which is pretty much what everyone thought was best and what it would end up being....many many months ago. Owners wanted 54% and were being assholes about it. Players were actually OK with 50/50 and some of their counter-offers had it, it's just other stuff that held up things on their end. Fehr didn't help things at all, but this lockout was mostly the owners' doing and they wanted to fleece the players out of as much money as they could. I'm glad it's over, but I wonder if the greedy bastards who own this team learned any lessons and not lock out their players again in the near future. My guess is "no." I'm also glad I don't have to hear "both sides suck" again for awhile. As much as I disagreed with Supersweet's blaming the NHLPA for the lockout, at least he took a side and backed it up. "Both sides are wrong" was such lazy analysis devoid of critical thought in order to give the illusion of objectivity.

And as much as I disagreed with you, I want to thank any of the pro player camps on this thread for being civil and tolerating me.

He's also mentioned that Bryz has a special signing bonus in his contract there - he gets an extra 200,000 for every win. The NHL and KHL have an agreement that any players playing in the KHL pretty much have to return to the NHL when a lockout ends. Bill Daly said the KHL is honoring that agreement for all the NHL players who played in the KHL this time. If a player refuses, their NHL team can outright void their contract. Lamoriello also said he expects Kovy to be back. www.thefourthperiod.com/news/njd130108.html?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=t.coKovy finishing off the week with SKA, then going back to New Jersey.

Visnovsky is staying in Slovakia. Poor Islanders they can't get a f***ing break. Like they are essentially playing NYC in the most expensive arena in the world! that's suppose to make them a bit more marketable now.

I saw you post this on Twitter and this was my reaction: Nicely done Dallas Stars. Nicely done.
