Bobby Holik has joined the Atlanta Thrashers… He’s going to average 3.47 Million Dollars through his three year deal… And with that deal I wonder why his signing took precedence to Heatly’s and Kovalachuk’s?
As you already probably know, the Florida Panthers have signed Gary Roberts and Joe Nieuwendyke. On a very young roster, these two will serve both as mentors and Keenan Henchmen to instill Iron Mike’s will on the club. I expect more before everything is said and done.
The Carolina Hurricanes have traded for Mike Commadore… Make fun of his hair if you will but I look forward to seeing Mike on a more regular basis. He earned my respect for mouthing off early in the lockout and not taking back his comments.
Nothing major from Washington yet… Like the Lightning, I believe the Capitals are concerned about taking care of their own – we’ll see about that shortly.
