Oh yeah I've heard about it by now

I'd be surprised if Tampa did that for the expiring contract.

It would have to be a sign and trade or something similar...

[Robin Hood]

I love it when this BBKL group checks in on time for roster submission after the Olympic break. This league is going to last for a while with this group

[Nick]

Bah - would have loved to make some moves. I blame Alberta and the Chinese for a bad roster this week.

Olli Jokinen is amazing at life.

One or two people may actually know this guy but news is out that he retires.

Lane MacDermid.

Thought he would land a 4th line gig as Shawn Thornton type for sure...

from matchsticksandgasoline.com:


Sad news out of the Flames front office today as Pat Steinberg reports that Lane MacDermid, the 24-year-old acquired from the Dallas Stars in November for a 6th round pick, has filed his retirement papers. According to Conroy, he'd lost his enthusiasm for hockey and has decided to pack it in at a very young age, choosing to focus on other things.

The Lane MacDermid situation got a little clearer. He's officially filed his retirement papers, according to Craig Conroy. #Flames

Conroy told us MacDermid had lost his passion to play, so is moving on from his hockey career. #Flames

haha...these guys are going nuts.

When was the last time he had a healthy, productive season?

if he wants 8 years of security, he's a 2.75M piece.

[The BBKL Insider]

I believe the leafs lock up bolland at 4.5m per over a 5 or (max) 6 year deal.

Even though he's only played 15 games for the blue and white he was one of our best players and the leafs were 11-2-2 with him in the lineup. He's proving that he's one of the best 2 way C's in the league, and those guys dont come cheap.

You also can't blame this injury on him being 'injury prone' -

worst case, sign him to a 1 year x 4 - 5 mil deal and let him prove himself. I just can't see the leafs letting bolland go, we've needed C's for years and we finally have 4 or 5 good ones under contract.
