Status: online 		So I don't know if many NHL fans exist on this site, but I think there should be a dedicated thread on one of the most improtant days during the NHL off season.

Feel free to post rumors (with sources?) for upcoming signings, trades, firings, demotions, whatever!

And yes, we're all quite aware that this year's market does not even hold a candle to last year's incredible group, but alas, it is what it is.

I have a local team called "Fife Flyers", of which i see when I get the chance.

How are Buffalo Sabres doing these days?

    So far from what I've seen, the biggest signing I've seen is Washington has apparently signed Theodore.

    As far as rumors go, some that I have seen is that some team has offered Sundin 10 mil a year, the Pens have made some kind of offer to Jagr, I've also heard the Pens have made an offer to both Naslund and Rolston, and I have heard nothing concrete on the Hossa front other than there are a buttload of teams making him offers with the big money coming from the Blackhawks, Cannucks and Bruins with other offers from Pittsburgh, Detroit, and pretty much everyone else.

    Sorry if most of that is Pens centric, but I'm kinda following their moves more than anyone else being as they are my team.

    They were a good, young team 2 years ago...but they lost alot of their major player to free agency.

    They're not what they used to be.

    Melrose, I know you liked the Pens last year and all, but do you want any more ex-pens before the fa period is over.

    Aww, not so good.

    The reason why I started liking them is because of the NHL 2000 (or was it 2002?) demo
