Confirmed. ##TheReelChuckFletcher claims the borg has little wrinkly balls.

They're only little because they keep emptying the reservoir every offseason to make the team better

Ross Colton going to Colorado

Sounds like a country album

While I'm not in love with Colorado's move for Johansen (though it's a reasonable enough risk), I like the moving out of Newhook and essentially getting a late first and Colton for him. Very good business.

Laf is probably my #1 target too this offseason. I just think we'd get a 60 point player with good two way game and team control for probably a 1st. It's still an unlikely acquisition but it would absolutely make sense assets-wise, long-term wise, and it'd fit the Borg's MO.

We could probably swing Laf and a scorer with one year remaining from a team who needs cap room for a splash at free agency. I see us getting the player with a year left rather than going after a UFA.

That bottom paragraph reads like the Kings & Arvidsson.

8 x 8.8 million for Meier. Really good work by the agent there, although they had a lot of leverage in negotiations already.

Does he also have an 8 team NTC?

Also switching to #88.

only one of those names that would interest me is Duclair, though wouldn't hate a reunion with Geekie.

[DaveG]

that's a lot for a 25 year old forward that only has 1 relatively good season to their name and isn't exactly noted as a defensive standout.

Somehow I suspect he will survive it.

The Devils were already a very good team and will likely continue to be. As I said before, if they can get their blue chip dmen to play at a high level quickly on their ELCs, they will be a top of the line Cup contender. However, as good as they look, they still don't have that much better of a chance to win the Cup than anyone else. It really is just the way it works. Even the best teams have flaws. Right now, they do have the questions on D until proven otherwise, solid but not spectacular goaltending unless their guys take some steps, and I still think Ruff is a pretty meh coach overall.
