Canes resign Wesley! ColdForged likes Wesley... during the season I used to see him often at the bagel place about a mile from my house. Note that I'd ever actually speak to him.
Now we only have Vasicek to resign.
Vinny resigns with TB and St. Louis is close behind.
We will pretty much have the top 2 lines back from the championship team.

It was for 4 years 7 million a year rigt? That's a little expensive. I realize it's important that they keep him but 7 million way over what he's worth.
7 million a year? Wow... that sounds crazy.
I'm too lazy to look it up, but another one I saw earlier that looked bizzare was Johan Hecht staying with the Sabres for something like $3 million a year. In my book, Hecht is above average, but not much more than that. A steady second-liner isn't worth $3 million unless there's some upside, and I don't see the upside.
Lecavalier gets 6.8 a season. Way too much in my opinion.
Joseph has officially signed with Phoenix.
As far as I can tell Hecht's salary is undisclosed but Buffalo probably really likes him. I don't know too much other than he's a solid point producer and I think he's a major factor in their penalty kill.
Edited because Hecht is not a factory.
he's a major factory in their penalty kill.
He's a factory...that makes miniature models...of factories...I'm just letting this go now.
Anson Carter in 'Couver? Man, that's crazy!
Well, Stumple was signed by Florida so there's no chance of him returning to the Kings.
Also, Colorado added another second-tier player (Curtis Leschyshyn).
I prefer Carter over Bure but both are fine players. I think Carter will fit into the Vancouver system very well and Bure should be a good fit for LA.
Woah, freaky. Never know that. I find it strange that Naslund, Forsberg, the Sedin's, and one or two other players were all born in Ornskoldsvik, Sweden. What is in their water?
I'd rather have Bure than Carter, myself. Carter has always struggled with consistency, and to some extent I question the effort he puts into his game. One year he looks really good, the next year he can't get anything going. Which one will show up? I also think LA had a bigger need for a good right winger, as Cammelleri (or however you spell it) looks promising but is pretty untested. Meanwhile, the Canucks should have Bertuzzi and Linden ahead of Carter on the right wing depth chart.

They sorta will. The Canucks have the top line (Naslund, Morrison, and Bertuzzi) and then the Sedins with the flavour of the week. After that they have random combinations of players (Linden, Cooke, Kesler, King, Ruutu, and now Park and Carter). Carter will probably play with the Sedins and Linden will be played with the combination guys.
