Free Agency Thread Until October

PrintFans looking for an immediate transaction to shake up the Sharks roster will have to acknowledge that there is a long time left before the first puck is dropped on 2009-10.
Plus, having some flexibility under the NHL’s financial constraints could allow the Sharks to find some hidden gems if other clubs run into problems with the salary cap.
If we need to dump salary, then how do opposing teams with salary cap problems help us out? Neither team can take a net salary gain in a deal. I understand it's the PR department writing these pieces, but still.
Mearghhhh.
Go Sharks.

it is still early in the offseason
but with the news that Clowe’s deal is more than 3.5 per year im starting to become a little anxious
here's an immediate transaction that would work
make Damphousse ten years younger and sign him to a cheap contract since he would be so grateful that we made him young again that he wouldn’t want a multi-million dollar contract :DDD
While we are at it
Lets get Ricci healthy, and get Marchment off of scouting duties!

The Sharks could desperately use a character player like Ricco
the guy played the game the way it should be played and he did with balls and integrity. Give me a guy with 82+ games of that kinda intensity.
Oh, so that's where you edit your signature
There are cap-strapped teams
But there are also teams that are looking for pieces that the Sharks can/should trade to free up space. It may take a few separate moves, but I still think it’s too early to put cap issues ahead of personnel issues.

That blurb puts things into perspective
DW still has a lot of time to work his magic. I would think he’s waiting for the fervor to die down over the next couple days, maybe even weeks, and once GMs find their heads and start thinking more clearly I would look for him to start doing his job. That said, it is a little worrying thinking about the possibility of diminished returns for our players just because other GMs think they can stick it to us because of the cap situation. I for one am waiting patiently for the wheeling and dealing to start. It’s like the first day of grammar school: can’t wait to get there and see who the new kids are (and if any of them are hot).

The terms of the deal are not available. Locke scored 25 goals and 79 points in 77 AHL games last season. He’s been a successful scorer in the minors for years, but he’s only played in one NHL game.

Sources tell TSN the NHL and the NHLPA are investigating what might have been an enormous mistake by the Chicago Blackhawks.
Chicago tendered qualifying offers to several key players this week, including Kris Versteeg, Cam Barker, Ben Eager, Colin Fraser, Aaron Johnson and Troy Brouwer, however the investigation underway is to determiner whether the qualifying offers were filed correctly.
If not, there is the remote possibility the qualifying offers could be ruled invalid and the players listed above, conceivably, could be deemed unrestricted free agents because of the blunder.

- three rim shots – You can’t hate on Chicago for wanting to win and win now, but they have the pieces to be a long term contender and I don’t know how they can keep Toews, Kane and Keith and still have enough to field a full roster.
Oh, so that's where you edit your signature
I just see Chicago going down the same road the Sharks are, except that the Sharks didn’t know that the economy was going to tank when they gave out all the enormous contracts, and the Blackhawks do. On one hand, it makes me laugh seeing Brian Campbell act as a large part of the problem. On the other hand, I don’t want any fan going through the stomach-wrenching uncertainty that we’re going through, especially fans whose team finally regained respectability after a long period of Bill Wirtz-induced pain.

I like Hossa a lot. Say what you want about his signing tactics, but he is at least a consistent scorer. Although a twelve year contract is hard to trade to anyone not in Toronto, New York or Tampa Bay.

That's a sweet deal for the Kings
Preissing was demoted to the minors last season (after a bout with Vertigo if I recall right), Quincey is on the move for the 3rd time in his young career, and the pick will be in a relatively weak draft year (’10, I assume). Smyth is going to give the Sharks (goalies) fits.

No- if you remember, Dan Boyle was traded for today. I think it was around 3 PM, but don’t take that as gospel.
It just means that the Sharks won’t officially announce anything because the NHL won’t be able to clear the paperwork until Monday.

I had a dream about JR
and in it he still hadn’t resigned and everyone was starting to think he was retiring, and then he was in a suit behind a bench with the Cup. Rather boring dream, now that I think about it. And no, I don’t know who’s bench he was behind, just that he looks good in a suit.
Thus ends Gray’s non sequitur.

I doubt it – an ELC would cost around the same amount that Greiss would make, so DW just needs to plan around that $800K for the backup. I think (and hope) that DW is waiting for other GMs to recognize needs that can’t be satisfied through free agency, and then offering up players for trade for those needs, hopefully getting picks, prospects, and cheap third/fourth liners in return.

Exactly- salary wise The Monster and Greiss are going to be roughly the same give or take 50 G’s or whatever, which doesn’t have any bearing on the salary cap picture at large.
It may have a bearing on whether or not Greiss is re-signed, but even then I doubt it. He was the starter for Worcester last year, and unless he gets an offer sheet (which is also doubtful) that would return some draft picks, then I don’t see DW letting him go. We can flip him for something else down the road if Gustavsson signs and plays well.

Shoving as much food down one’s gullet as you possibly can in a timed event is kind of disgusting to me on several levels. It also looks nasty. Bleh.
But, to each their own. It certainly is a hotly contested match up every year, and it’s sort of fun to have a nice light hearted news story every summer.

The Ottawa Senators are still in the hunt for Mike Comrie.

If the Ottawa Senators or Dany Heatley want to revive the trade talks with Edmonton, they’ll have to make the first move.
Although Oilers general manager Steve Tambellini is still interested in acquiring Heatley, it looks like he plans to wait and see what Heatley and the Senators do next.
“There’s not a lot to say at the point,” said Tambellini. “It will be up to Bryan and Dany as to what steps they want to take.”
Edmonton offered Dustin Penner, Ladislav Smid and Andrew Cogliano in exchange for Dany Heatley and Ottawa accepted the deal; however, Heatley rejected the deal, hoping that the Senators might instead trade him to a different team. Since then, Ottawa has been forced to pay Heatley a $4 million bonus and they want more in any potential trade as compensation. Ottawa says that their original deal with Edmonton is off the table.

Some random thoughts.........
First What IS IT WITH TEAMS AND CRUSHING MY HOPES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It doesn’t matter the sport, if their my favorite team…….. they go out of their way to crush my hopes. The Earthquakes score an own goal in F***IN STOPPAGE TIME TO DRAW WITH REAL SALT LAKE!!!!!!!!!!!! This is why sports is the only thing that bring pessimism out of me, otherwise, Aliens could be invading our planet, but I’d still be saying “what a great day it is”
I swear this is going to turn me into a mad scientist. I already ideas on how to make Yellowstone erupt, the ultimate doomsday scenario…………… I really should take sports less seriously.
Now that I have vented, I have been getting a little caught up on our recent draftees, and I must say………… I think I might develop a man crush on William Wren. Well, maybe that’s a bit much. But from what I’ve seen and read about him, in 6 or 7 years he might develop into a Dan Boyle Dion Phaneuf hybrid. My expectactions might be a bit lofty, obviously its too early to tell. But the kid impresses. I think if everything goes right for him, he may develop in the best defenseman in the NHL.
I'm warning you! I have ADHD and I know how to use it!!!
I think San Jose will be fine. If Doyle can bring in more players like Huckerby, we might have another second half surge. The loss of Ronnie O’Brien hurt us big time.
maybe, but they've been pretty bad
I personally think Cannon is way past it, and that’s not helping things
Well I guess to Cannon’s defense, he hasn’t had a decent back four. With Garcia gone and Hernandez being hurt, these makeshift backlines aren’t cutting it.
i guess i just
am so annoyed by how bad his distribution is and how long he takes with the stupid ball
Whatever. Jeff Garcia is gay. And I’m not sure anyone named Ronnie O’Brien is going to help us next season (at least according to Wikipedia):
