I can't believe this is the 'strong' offer for Kaberle.

Kessel for the 7th pick and Kaberle?

Am I the only one that thinks that's ABSURD?


Kaberle is a top 10 d-man who makes only 4.25M!

Yeah that is asking a lot. Not worth a first round pick. Maybe a second, third round, but not worth the 7th pick in the draft.

Bouwmeester to Calgary for Leopold and 3rd rd pick

[Ravin]

Great move by the Flames. If they can sign him, that just makes their defence (when healthy) probably the best in the league. Dion, Jay, Sarich, got some great depth on that team.

[Krebs]

yeah calgary will be a great nhl10 team too..iginila, camaleri, kip, etc...

[calgaryballer]

Everything I have heard says Cammalleri is gone.

[Krebs]

they already dumped leopold....how much more room do they need? im not up to date with their salary cap

[calgaryballer]

Leopold was a UFA. They didn't save any room

[Krebs]

well, then that sucks haha

[killgod]

cap is 56.8M

so the flames have 11M free at this time.

Bouwmeester will probably sign 6-7M, which means Aucoin isn't coming back if that happens.

Could still fit in Bertuzzi, and a couple other 1M players to round out the roster.

That is, if they can sign Jay. If they don't, it truly only cost them a 3rd round pick cause I doubt they planned to re-sign Leopold anyways.

[killgod]

hockeybuzz.com reports that Bouwmeester signed with the Flames at 6.3M...length unknown.

[Krebs]

told you they would get it done, you gotta figure if theyre trading for the rights, they prolly have talked with the guy to an extent already

Craig Adams
Craig Adams 2 yr deal with the Pens. Solid role player, good penalty killer. We NEED Scuderi and Gill signed, now.
