With swapping Paranteau for Briere and Stastny for Iginla, the Avs just got a lot older....not exactly what you want to do in this league.

:-s
Reduce the salary?
I'm happy the nucks signed Vrbatta. Solid top 6 forward. We're still not a cup contender but it'll be an entertaining year.
It's just a relief to see a few free agents come out way. I'm not used to us given that our last GM Gillis was universally hated by the rest of the league...
If that was the case, maybe, but the Avs went from being in the bottom third of the league in salary, to number 12Quote:

:lol: Wasn't that last month? Yeah it was a weird one... Harnell was almost the face of that team. Going to be a different look.
Only one month till hockey!!!
I'm really excited to cheer for the revamped canucks, as well as Avs and Habs! Bring it on
FUCK. HBO announced they won't produce a third season for 24/7 leading up to the Winter Classic... there were so many players I wanted to see this year too between Chicago and Washington. That was the best part of the WC. :(
The NHL still says they'll do something, but I doubt it'll be as all-access and uncensored.
Pre season hockey is back and it is glorious.
Pat Quinn died.

The Lehigh Valley Phantoms found the back of the net three times in 21 seconds in last night's 5-3 win over Binghamton, but that might not even be the most impressive part: the three goals all came in the first 36 seconds of the game. This is why you should be in your seats by puck drop.
A rough night for goalie Andrew Hammond, who was pulled after stopping zero of the three shots he faced. Which was maybe a good move to preserve his mental well-being, but I feel like giving up three goals in 21 seconds requires a true team effort.
The Phantoms are coached by Terry Murray.

St. Louis (AFP) - Martin Brodeur, the National Hockey League's all-time win leader among goaltenders, will retire Thursday and join the St. Louis Blues' front office, the NHL club announced Tuesday.
The 42-year-old Canadian will hang up his skates after 21 seasons with the New Jersey Devils and seven games this season for the Blues, who have hired him for a hockey operations management role, Blues general manager Doug Armstrong said on the team website.
Brodeur went 3-3 with a 2.87-goals against average and 89.9 save percentage while St. Louis netminder Brian Elliott was injured in December and January.
Brodeur won three Stanley Cup crowns with the Devils -- in 1995, 2000 and 2003 -- as well as helping backstop Canada to Olympic gold in 2002 and 2010.
He finishes his career with 691 victories in 1,266 games, including 125 shutouts. All three of those totals are NHL all-time records. Brodeur also captured the Vezina Trophy as the NHL's top goaltender in a season in 2003, 2004, 2007 and 2008.
"Congratulations on a storied career and thanks for letting us share in it," the Blues posted on their website on a photo of Brodeur waving to the crowd.
Brodeur's final career shutout came in a Blues uniform, when he blanked the Colorado Avalanche on December 29.
He was not re-signed by the Devils after last season and was a free agent seeking one more chance in the NHL when the Blues came calling after Elliott was hurt in late November.
Thanks for the years of service, dude.
