Nick Kypreos ‏@RealKyper
#NHL teams presenting will also be asked to pay 2nd 12M SB to Parise next July 1st. That's 24M guaranteed over 1 yr Nice eh.#quittooearly

20mNick Kypreos ‏@RealKyper
Those asking SB do count against cap. His cap hit will be far less over entire contract. Yr 1 of 12M/2M salary guarantee's Parise lockout $

48mNick Kypreos ‏@RealKyper

Many #NHL teams will present Parise including #Sens. Many will disappear quickly when they find out a 12M sign' bonus is needed on the spot

What time does free agency start?

[Franklin Fanatic]

Noon EST.

[cshea]

Just got back from Hawaii, and jet lagged as shit, so I'm ready to watch free agent frenzy all day today. Let's get it started.

Jordan Staal gets 10/$60 from Carolina, per McKenzie et. all.
Ryan Smyth gets 2/$4.5 to stay in Edmonton. Cross him off the B's "vet 3rd liner" list.

[TheRealness]

Balls re-signs in Tampa, 1yr, $1.8m.

Clemmenson back in FLA.

[cshea]

Doan won't make a decision until 7/9. Apparently on 7/8 the future of the Coyotes will become a bit clearer, so Doan's going to wait.

[MoGator71]

Pisser, I was hoping for Clemmer to the Flyers.

[MoGator71]

Oh awesome Michael Leighton re-signs with the Flyers, no link but NHL Home Ice has it and I can't go link hunting because I need to vomit.

[Greg29fan]

David Moss signs in Phoenix, Jonas Gustavsson moves to Detroit

[Spaulding Smails]

Carkner and John Mitchell to the Avs.

Corvo back to Carolina for 1 year, $2 mil.

[cshea]

Joltin' Joe Corvo back to Carolina.

1 year, $2 million

Edited by cshea, 01 July 2012 - 12:13 PM.

[cshea]

Bobby Mac says the Avs may have jumped the gun in announcing the Carkner deal. Carkner's agent says they don't have a deal done.

I wouldn't mind Carkner as a 7th defenseman.

[Ed Hillel]

Hey, our team needs to get worse, here's two million dollars, thanks.

[cshea]

haha, Corvo got an NMC

[Spaulding Smails]

All the trannys in Raleigh head for the hills.

Konopka signs a 2 year deal with the Wild.

[mikeford]

haha, Corvo got an NMC

......

[cshea]

Latendresse signs with Ottawa. I thought he might be the Bruins annual "Ex-Hab reclamation project" signing.

[Greg29fan]

Torrey Mitchell also moving to Minnesota

[Greg29fan]

Colby Armstrong to Montreal

[Spaulding Smails]

Torrey Mitchell also signs with the Wild.

[Greg29fan]

Ray Whitney goes to Dallas 2 yrs/9 million

[cshea]

Ray Whitney to Dallas...2/$9 million.

[Spaulding Smails]

According to Aaron Ward, Carkner has gone to the Islanders. Wow, the Avs must be ripshit after they tweeted he signed with them.

[cshea]

FYI, Jaffe and Brick are on NESN talking B's with a special free agency show.

Also, Aaron Ward has been the guy breaking all the news. Go figure.

[Spaulding Smails]

I'm glad Dale isn't running this show, Jaffe and Brick are solid with their analysis of all these signings.

[The Napkin]

Down Goes Brown ‏@DownGoesBrown Ray Whitney has now played for five different NHL teams that did not exist when he was drafted. #hesold

That's awesome

[Greg29fan]

Arron Asham signs w/the Rangers, will now have played for all 5 Atlantic Division teams

[Greg29fan]

Filip Kuba signs in Florida 2 yrs/8 million...Pittsburgh signs Tanner Glass to replace Asham

[cshea]

Apparently the Flyers are in on both Parise and Suter. Holmgren sure does like to make things interesting this time of year.

[cshea]

Nick Foligno traded to Columbus for Marc Methot. Finally that shithead is out of the division. Enjoy Columbus, Nick.

[Spaulding Smails]

Looks like Pancakes has re-signed in LA on a 1 year deal.

[Greg29fan]

Penner staying in LA

[cshea]

Habbies grab Boullion and Prust. 4/$10 for Prust. That should help spice things up when they come to town. A new dance partner for Thornton, McQuaid, Campbell, etc.

[Curtis_Lesspanic]

Anyone know if Chiarelli is awake yet?

[cshea]

Meh, it's not like they've missed out on much today. Maybe Whitney, but 2/9 is a lot of money for a 40 year old.

[Spaulding Smails]

That contract could look ugly if Dallas doesn't get any legit centers in the fold, I love Whitney but thats a steep price at his age.

[Spaulding Smails]

Zanon signs with the Avs, 2 years/4.5 mil total. Good deal for them.

[Curtis_Lesspanic]

That didn't make a lot of sense after dealing Ribero.

[Curtis_Lesspanic]

Parros to Panthers.

[Spaulding Smails]

George Parros is taking his mustache to South Beach.

[Spaulding Smails]

Parenteau to the Avs, 4 years /$16 mil.

[cshea]

Kyper thinks Suter is signing with the Red Wings.

[Greg29fan]

Sami Salo signed with TB for 2 yrs and 7+ million. Parise won't be deciding anything until tomorrow.

[Spacemans Bong]

Habbies grab Boullion and Prust. 4/$10 for Prust. That should help spice things up when they come to town. A new dance partner for Thornton, McQuaid, Campbell, etc.

We might suck next year (though probably not) but at least we won't be pussies about it.

[The Napkin]

Aaron Rome to Dallas. Excellent. It's been at least 2 years since we've had a Stars Brawl.

[cshea]

Souray to Anaheim...3/11 (yikes)

McKenzie thinks Jay Garrision is headed to Vancouver, but is awaiting confirmation.

[Greg29fan]

6 yrs, $4.6 AAV for Garrison in Vancouver per Dreger

[Dim13]

Jordin Tootoo to the Wings. 3 years. $5.75 million per TSN.

Ugh, ugh, and ugh.

Also, they bring back Mike Samuelsson for 2 years. $6 million.

I hope those Suter rumors are true...

[AMcGhie]

Marty staying with the Devils for 2/9M
