Kubina has two offers - Sabres and Islanders
Darcy is probably giving himself the day off today in preparation of the long weekend...Why even show up to work? He can plan girls street hockey from home.
How is losing Lydman having a love affair with their own players?
And every other team? Really?
DEAL

As @capgeek points out, Whitney's deal is a 35+ contract and PHX on the cap hook no matter what, even if aliens abduct him or he retires.
What's worse? Not making a move yet or only making one move and that move being Dan Paille?
a little food for thought....
#nhl #bruins have the league's highest payroll after Paille re-signing at almost $$55.8m ($865,000 in bonuses) http://bit.ly/98cqX6
like I said earlier- they truly believe that they can win a Cup with a core of Vanek, Roy, Pominville and Connolly. Everyone else disagrees. Hell, the results on the ice all but prove them wrong. But hey, they've made their decision and they're going down with the ship.
Oh stop with your constant excuse making for this organization. There is more time, but as the premier (and that isn't saying much this year) FA's start to go away, what is left? I'll give him the benefit of the doubt to make a trade, but this guy has got to stop with the excuses of how hard it is to get a difference maker and just go get it done. Other organization seem to have no problem doing it, so the lame excuses are getting old. Now, it's no guarantee that making moves is going to get a championship, but at least it gives the impression that you are at least trying.
I'll agree with this 100% if the roster as it stands now is the roster on opening night.
I'm not ready to make that statement less than 4 hours into free agency though.
3:21 p.m.: Just got off the phone with Lydman, who's in Finland (had to rack up The News' phone bill!). He said he wanted to stay, but the Sabres offered only a two-year deal. Once the Ducks came up with three, he had to take it. It's a guaranteed $3 million. That's a lot of reasons to head west.
Well, I think that when we're looking at our D rotation being Myers Rivet Montador Sekera Weber Butler, not making a move is worse.
agreed still plenty of time for trades and all that jazz, however..... if the sabres plan on filling their roster with value buys they have another thing coming
I can agree with this. My worry is that Darcy takes way too much time in doing things and it usually leaves him with only the leftovers to fill roster spots. But, like you said, it's only 4 hours in...there is still plenty of time.
I can think of at least 5 d-men that are still available, so I'm not sweating it yet. If those 5 are gone and none to Buffalo, I'll start to worry.
I have to believe Pitt just passed Boston two 5mill plus signings.
I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
"Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.
What do you mean? The Bills do it every year and look how well it's worked for them!
The B's made their big move before today.
