So this is where we start rumors that it is a 3 team trade with Nash going to that 3rd team and the Rangers getting a key player back from the 3rd team?

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie NYR and Martin Biron agree to a 2 year deal worth a total of $2.6M, AAV of $1.3M.

But but he was born here? :)

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie COL agrees to terms with Steve Downie on 2 year deal, $2.55M in first year and $2.75M in second. $2.65M AAV.

Then Marty Biron can move over to NJ.

David Pagnotta ‏@TheFourthPeriod Calgary re-signs D Cory Sarich to a 2-year, $4M contract.

Gaustad’s agent, Michael Gorman said that his client will likely take a look at July 1. http://blogs.tennessean.com/predators/2012/06/28/an-update-on-paul-gaustad/

Pierre LeBrun ‏@Real_ESPNLeBrun Canucks have agreed in principle to three-year deal worth $12 million for Cory Schneider

All NHL contracts are guaranteed. They insure them so if an injury happens then the insurance company pays out the money rather than the team.

Yes - 8.7 Gui Latendresse ‏@thetender48 thanks to all the wild fans, the organization, the coaching staff and the player. i'm moving forward on a new chapter in my career. that decision was made because i have a son of 4 year old in montreal and i think he need me. we will see what the market has to offer

An $8.7mil cap hit, of course.

That won't cut it based on this tweet (at least not at the beginning of FA): Renaud P Lavoie ‏@RenLavoieRDS Canadiens offered a 2 way contract to Mathieu Darche. He said no. Normal because he played on a one way in the last 2 years.

Mathieu Darche ‏@matdarche52 We can now jump to conclusions. It seems like I won't be back next year. ‪#verydisapointed‬ ‪#itisabusiness

That would be a bad sunburn.

How can it be? :) Welcome back PA! Hope you don't get banned anytime soon!

You might have strayed into Lancaster. :)

Good to know!

He made a comment about as long as he can walk up the stairs to the booth. I hope that Terry will install an elevator when needed.

Well hockey really is a ""niche" sport that was basically ignored by most of the american sports fans" but that doesn't mean it isn't the best sport. :)

Instead of the E system we should be using the Chz system. Of course then the rumors would be more likely to occur.

Easy $8 per; but they will probably give him a 10 year contract to get that down to a 6.5 average.

Sean Kelso ‏@kelsohockey #flames acquire and sign Dennis Wideman from the Caps in exchange for Jordan Henry and a 5th pick in 2013 Draft Wideman signs a 5 year contract with Calgary with an AAV of $5,250,000

Even with all of the homerism; it is still good to get another 2 hours of hockey talk.
