2009 NHL Free Agency Open Thread

Because it is a wild and crazy day!
Free agency- everyone knows what it's about. If you don't, whatevs and welcome.
Things to Read
San Jose Sharks Free Agency Cheat Sheet (click me, I'm informative)
UFA Targets: Maxim Afinegenov, Ruslan Fedetenko, Nik Antropov, Jason Williams, Samuel Pahlsson, Ian Laperriere, Taylor Pyatt, Joel Ward, Ben Guite, Mattias Ohlund, Greg Zanon, Kurtis Foster
Re-Sign Targets:
Rob Blake, Torrey Mitchell, Ryane Clowe, Travis Moen
*******
Since things are likely to get a little crazy during the day here are a few general thoughts to keep comments streamlined. I doubt anyone listens to me anyway, so if the thread ends up looking like Downtown Baghdad don't play the blame game.
1) When you comment on a signing, try to provide a link and quote. An example of this can be found in the beginning of the comments.
2) If something related to the San Jose Sharks happens (Clowe re-signs etc.), rec it. This will cause the comment to show up green and make the most relevant information easily visible.
3) Try and "reply" to the news instead of adding your own comment further down the page. The reply button is your friend and will help keep the conversation focused.
If yours truly breaks one of these guidelines, feel free to question my "heart" and demand I "give up the C."
Go Sharks.
The Sharks have extended qualifying offers to Ryane Clowe, Torrey Mitchell, Brad Staubitz and Thomas Greiss.
They are NOT extending qualifying offers to Marcel Goc, Tomas Plihal, Lukas Kaspar, Mike Morris, Riley Armstrong, Ashton Rome, Taylor Dakers and T.J. Fox.
Don’t expect to see Mike Grier, Brian Boucher, Alexei Semenov or Claude Lemieux on the roster. All are UFAs, of course, and none of them fit in the current plans for next season...
...Both sides of the table say the Ryane Clowe contract negotiations are progressing well and indicate a multi-year deal could be coming very shortly. Still, given what happened a year ago, nobody wants to declare peace in our time until every last detail is in place.
12:33 p.m. — Nothing official yet (update: It’s official — two-year, $1.85 million deal) but word is out that Boucher is signing with Philadelphia. Makes plenty of sense for a lot of reasons — that’s the team that drafted him, expected to sign him when Doug Wilson swooped in back in February 2008 and operates not too far from his Rhode Island home. - Working The Corners, July 1st

Boucher To Sign In Philly?
Paul Holmgren told me he couldn’t speak about it until Wednesday and his agent has not yet returned my call, but I’m guessing the Flyers will sign Brian Boucher as the backup to Ray Emery on the first day of free agency on Wednesday.
- Courier Post
Damn shame, but we thought as much earlier this offseason. Should pave the way for Greiss to get the call up.

I don't want to get into an argument
but if they had some one they trusted more he would not have played in as many games. Instead of taking off 3-5 games he might have taken off 10-12 games and been fresh for the playoffs.

Nabby kind of sets his own schedule. I think it must be a trait of all the Strelow-taught goalies. Kipper is the same way. They want to play a lot because it like keeping on their game face. You saw how inconsistent Nabby was when he was splitting time with Toskala…
Originally a NorthStars fan, but Modano is all that remains.
by stufflife on Jul 1, 2009 11:38 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
at the same time
boucher put in pretty trustworthy performances and they still chose to give Nabby the choice on whether he would start or not. Maybe I’m alone, I just don’t think 2 games is an appropriate sample size, especially when his numbers are just as good as Giguere’s for the OTL against Anaheim
by a10dency2ask on Jul 1, 2009 11:39 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
I agree with it being to small a sample size
not to mention two years ago. I say give him a shot. You have to find out if he can cut it in the NHL.

check the stats
2 games plus 10 minutes when Nabby left with an injury and then came back in the next period
by a10dency2ask on Jul 1, 2009 11:52 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Boucher’s piece is a good place to check out if you’re looking for some differing opinions on the matter of bringing up Greiss.
While I’m not completely sold on him, that was two years ago. Bringing him up this season a) allows us to make a more informed decision on Nabokov next year and b) like a10dency says, challenge our farm system (which has many good young goaltenders). It also frees up minutes in Worcester- if Greiss ends up not being the answer, DW will have more options to mull over.
At some point you have to see what these guys have to offer, and it’s likely Boucher’s very good statistical season placed him out of the Sharks price range.

Also, and this is completely random, but the overtime loss was when Semmy kicked the puck into the net against Anaheim (Doug Weight scored I believe?).

It was against the Rangers, in hindsight he probably should have been pulled.

Edmonton in the "Driver's Seat" For Heatley?
Sources say Dany Heatley has been asked to waive his no-trade clause to go to Edmonton in exchange for Andrew Cogliano, Dustin Penner and Ladislav Smid.

I would have thought the Rangers would be the most likely team to get him after they traded Scott Gomez.
by SpalWizzall on Jun 30, 2009 8:53 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Ehh, they probably wanted to wait after he was paid his bonus (which happens in like, three minutes) to go after him. The Oilers likely don’t care, and just want Heatley.

True, but it appears that he actually grew some sort of money-minding tumor in his brain today.
Oh, and midnight came and went without the trade to Edmonton (because Heatley allegedly refused to waive his NTC), so the Sens are now on the hook for Heatley’s $4M bonus.

Update on Heatley
Deal was in place, but Heatley nixed it, not wanting to go to Edmonton (unlike Pronger, I don’t think he has the wife defense).
Oh, and that $4M bonus? If Ottawa trades Heatley before midnight tomorrow (i.e. before July 2), then they are not on the hook for the money.

If its not against the CBA, I could see some GMs putting new clauses into contracts that nulls the NTC/NMC if the player demands a trade, aka “the Heatley clause.”

I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s something they try to throw into the new CBA two years from now or, like you mentioned, build it into contracts.
Morally, I think you should automatically forfeit your rights once you demand a trade. Holding out when a deal is on the table is absolutely ludicrous. Ottawa is pretty boned here- who’s going to want to take on a player/contract like that?

Word is that Heatley didn’t completely nix the trade, but is sleeping on it.

Bouwmeester Signs In Calgary
Calgary Flames general manager Darryl Sutter made the most of his opportunity to negotiate with Jay Bouwmeester.
The defenceman avoided unrestricted free agency by agreeing to a five-year deal worth $6.6 million per year against the salary cap on Tuesday night.
- TSN
Wow. Big time signing for the Flames. If they manage to squeeze under the salary cap with that blueline intact, Calgary’s going to be a bear to play next season.
Kipper had a terrible year last year however, so who knows.

I’m thinking best in the league, depending on free agency of course. Sarich, Phaneuf, Regehr, and Bouwmeester?
You split up Regehr and Bouw and that’s about 5/6th of the game with two premier shutdown defenseman out on the ice. Deadly.

Grier, Boucher, Semenov, and Lemeiux not returning
Pollak with the info.
Huskins more likely than Moen to sign, but don’t rule out either of them. Clowe and DW are working on a multi-year deal.

Next year’s lack of Boucher is what’s saddening me the most. If he re-joins the Flyers, like what the rumors are suggesting, I’m going to have to hate them a little less than I do now that they have Pronger.

Oh, god, with the personalities on that team, I could just imagine him fitting in great there.
Only problem is, Theodore has the contract that likely won’t be moved and there’s this guy named Varlamov that was playing pretty well in the playoffs last year. No room for him there.

Yeah, I agree with that and believe I mentioned something to that effect in Clowe’s RFA of the Day Piece [link…er, well, you can find it right?].
I still think Cheechoo could have a decent season somewhere else, but slotting him into the third line at 3 million per (with Clowe signed) restricts a lot of improvement DW could spread out across the bottom lines. It’s either one or the other, and I would choose Clowe.

Roenick’s decision has plagued me a bit too (check out TCY’s piece for more opinions on the matter), but having him on as a depth forward (who may see a good amount of healthy scratch time) isn’t a bad route to take in my opinion contingent upon him signing for roughly $650 K. If he’s looking for much more than that I’m not sure he’s worth it.

Mirtle will update this
The Lightning have inked Mattias Ohlund to a deal that will see the veteran Swede likely suit up alongside his young countryman Victor Hedman and nurture the No. 2 overall pick through his early years. No word on the term yet, but I’ll have it when it’s available.
-From The Rink
I wouldn’t say this is big time or anything, and the term is pretty bad considering he’s 32 already, but it’s nice to see Tampa’s ownership taking an interest in actually picking up decent NHL players and not playing fantasy hockey with all of these Pittsburgh forwards. If they keep Vinny and get a goalie (Bulin goes back?) they might actually be respectable.

Sharks generally don’t do much the first day of free agency (DW says people overspend), so it’ll be a while for any Sharks moves. Former Sharks players, however, might get snatched up sometime today.

That was primarily for a depth move at the deadline- I’m not sure if they need it now considering there’s some free agents out there who essentially serve the same purpose as he does without the injury baggage.
He’ll be an interesting guy to watch today, no doubt.

What does he have left on his contract, if anything? Perhaps he’s a UFA??
It’s certainly going to be hard to swallow $3.5M for a depth player (see Cheechoo, Jonathan)

As everyone has already chimed in, that is going to hurt in about six years.
If they find a way to move Campbell or Huet though, I don’t think it’s a bad deal for next offseason. Otherwise, kiss Kane or Toews goodbye. I wouldn’t mind making a run at one of those guys next year- maybe even Eager or Versteeg?

Definitely, but Hossa at 5.12 isn’t bad in the short term. You have to figure they can keep Kane, Toews, AND Keith if either Huet or Campbell is moved.
Long term is where it’s a terrible deal (emphasis on terrible), but Hossa is a premier player. That cap hit is manageable next season.

I don’t see why any team would guarantee him a significant number of starts – he’s never played on the NHL surface before, is relatively young, and 75% of the teams he’s going after already have goalies that tend to take the lion’s share of the work. Kind of stupid, IMO.

Aye- if we picked him up, I would start him in Worcester, bring up Greiss, and go from there.
Goalies are notoriously poor at reading, and banking on him to come in and steal games (which the hype suggests) is a questionable decision for a competitive team.
Toronto isn’t really competitive though (if he signs there), but you get my point.

Completely agree- their big issue was the blueline last season. Ohlund will help shelter Hedman along the way.
I like what they’re doing. A hell of a lot better than last season that’s for sure.

Guys on TSN just listed SJ as one of the teams looking to try and get Scott Niedermayer. It’s definitely a long shot, but it is interesting nonetheless.

Why?
Our defense is set outside of a 7th defenseman (who should cost less than $1M, not more than $5M or whatever he’s looking for), we have no cap space, and it just makes absolutely no sense.

Cheechoo has faded and it seems that his breakout year was more of a fluke, if we get a good player in return, I wouldn’t mind trading him

Gotta move Cheech
3m is too much for a 3rd line forward, especially with our cap room – need that space to re-up Clowe and flesh out the rest of the 3rd and 4th line with ‘quality’ players.

He showed me a lot last year becoming a more complete player – now he can go back to developing more dynamic offensive moves instead of being driven to the boards on his fast breaks.

Consensus is that Cheech will be traded for picks and/or prospects. Michalek is a decent player, both offensively and defensively, but I would be okay trading Michalek for a blue chip prospect or a younger, cheaper winger just for cap space. It wouldn’t be ideal, but nothing is ideal in the salary cap world.

12:33 p.m. — Nothing official yet but word is out that Boucher is signing with Philadelphia. Makes plenty of sense for a lot of reasons — that’s the team that drafted him, expected to sign him when Doug Wilson swooped in back in February 2008 and operates not too far from his Rhode Island home. Nothing yet on the terms. Boucher came up after panel was kicking around possibility of Sharks parting ways with Patrick Marleau and Evgeni Nabokov with Darren Pang saying Marleau could be going, but Sharks need to hold onto Nabokov even if they get Gustavsson.

True, he did produce last season
but not so much in the playoffs. We need a leader with the “C”. If you guys remember, he was given the “C” at a time when it was rotating around every week to a different player and he kept it because they started winning again. He’s just not a natural born leader. A great hockey player, just not much of an outspoken leader. I’d like to see someone else with it….

He produced last season
Patty was good last season. C or no C, he should stay because he is one of their best forwards. He’s one of the best penalty killers, too. To say he didn’t produce in the playoffs is true, but unfair on the scale of the entire team. Nobody produced in the playoffs, and while he should have been the one doing it, he wasn’t the only unproductive player.
