Might as well have one. Been a lot of signings already, especially today. Notable signings so far:

[Image: cal.png] Dennis Wideman - 5 Years/$26 MM
[Image: pit.png] Sidney Crosby - 12 Years/$104.4 MM
[Image: nas.png] Hal Gill - 2 Years/$4 MM
[Image: bos.png] Tuukka Rask - 1 Year/$3.5 MM
[Image: la.png] Jonathan Quick - 10 Years/$58 MM
[Image: van.png] Cory Schneider - 3 Years/$12 MM

Sucks that the Flames signed Wideman to a contract worth $5.2 MM per year, that sets the bar really high for other defensemen on the market. Now Garrison will probably get at least $5 MM per year and Suter will get like $8 MM now.

As a leafs fan, I hope we don't indulge in the inflated market that is Free Agency. Only guys I would be interested in are Suter and Parise (who isn't) but doubtful they'd choose Toronto and they'll be commanding huge bucks.

Is Alex Semin still testing? His buzz seems to have died down a bit

I don't think Burke is looking to improve through FA too much, id expect maybe the signing of a big forward (Doan, Moen, etc), or maybe a depth defender like Aucoin, but nothing more.

And with the signing of Schneider, Lu is pretty much good as gone, no?

I love the Schneider signing.

The issue is I don't believe Florida can afford to strap themselves with that Luongo contract, and Burke isn't willing to pay what Gillis is asking for. Even if the price comes down, I'd be hesitant to take on a 33 (or 34?) year old goalie on that contract.

That being said, if Burke's job truly IS on the line, then the leafs NEED to improve goaltending for the next season atleast, perhaps the likes of Ellis, Clemmensen, or Biron would help, but then again, are they much of an improvement?

What do you guys think will be the biggest WTF contract of the offseason? I'm thinking Semin, although Garrison might be up there.

Devs resign Bernier and Carter.

That Quick deal is awesome, 5.8 for him is such a bargain.
