Kickass signing.
Wonderful.
Cats Get Some Scoring
TORONTO -- The Panthers added some scoring punch today, signing Ottawa's Cory Stillman to a three year deal. The 34-year-old winger spent the past few seasons with Carolina, going to Ottawa late last season. He scored 24 goals with 41 assists with the WhalerCanes/Sens last season. Your thoughts?
Hey GR,
I definitely appreciate the quotes and info.
what do you think about the trade?
and i have to change my little name, and you have to change your banner at the top of the page.
Meh.. too much change..
The Panthers Make Their Picks
KANATA, Ontario -- The second day of the NHL Draft kicked off Saturday morning at Scotiabank Place with the Florida Panthers and Scott Luce (the team's director of amateur scouting) making the first pick. And Florida selects goalie Jacob Markstrom, an 18-year-old from Brynas, Sweden who is alr...
Always hilarious GP, always...
Quiet So Far AKA Calm Before the (Guelph) Storm
OTTAWA -- The draft is only a few hours away, so we're getting real close to crunch time. Will Olli stay or Olli go? We're going to find out soon. Highlight of the day was getting lunch at the Ottawa Rib Festival. And the ribs weren't that good. So that tells you not much is going on. Oh, I b...
Loving the Olesz news. Let's see something nice come from that REALLLLY soon. :)
More Fun from Sunrise
Here is some extra stuff from the press conference today. More stuff obviously in tomorrow's Miami Herald (which I will link tomorrow). Monday, Jacques Martin said he officially interviewed three men for the Panthers coaching job, but wouldn’t confirm who the third candidate was. Martin lat...
I know it's streaming on the site...
But any local tv stations gonna hold the conference live?
Not So Fast
Pete DeBoer's flight to Fort Lauderdale has been delayed (and if he's on US Air connecting through Philadelphia, his luggage probably won't make it, either). Press conference once scheduled for 11 a.m. is now set for 1 p.m. at The Bank. I'm going golfing now that I'm up and everything...
How come Quennville isn't on there?
Just wondering..
But yeah, I like Cunnyworth, though Pearn would be acceptable as well. Maurice, even though he's not my favorite, probably is an improvement to JM behind the bench.
Not a bad group of guys, if you ask me.
Done With This Guy
TSN in Canada is reporting that former Sharks coach Ron Wilson is indeed going to take the Maple Leafs gig, agreeing to a four-year deal to coach in the Centre of the Hockey Universe. Don't know how much interest the Panthers had in Wilson -- or, more importantly, Wilson's interest in the Pant...
A little something that may mean Frolik doesn't have to be signed before June 1: http://dumpnchase.wordpress.com/2008/05/22/alzner-terms/
"Under the terms of the CBA, teams have until June 1 to sign players who were drafted in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft. But because there is no agreement between the IIHF and the NHL for 2008-09, there is uncertainty as to whether the June 1 deadline applies for European players at the moment.
This wrinkle most notably impacts Florida, which chose Czech winger Michael Frolik with the 10th overall pick in 2006, and Buffalo, which selected Swedish defenseman Dennis Persson with the 24th choice. The Caps are also impacted; they drafted Finnish winger Oskar Osala with their fourth-round pick (97th overall) in 2006. As it stands now, those teams will be able to negotiate beyond the June 1 date with those players. More on this issue as it becomes available."
Caruso In, Cats Down to One
Mike Caruso signed an entry level deal with the Panthers Tuesday, leaving only Michael Frolik to come to terms by the June 1 deadline. The Cats continue to be on the clock, hoping to lock down Frolik before he re-enters the draft. Word is JM is working hard on getting this done. -- Nothing n...
