Well, that's awesome.

Bure makes the HHOF. And Canuck fans don't want to retire his number since he never enjoyed his stay here. Fuck these idiots. If Markus Naslund can get his # retired (which i think he shouldn't have been in the first place) then no doubt Pavel should be as well. Pavel was the only reason people even cared about the Canucks during those years.

hahaha that Red Wings fan clip is hilarious; I was rolling when I saw the chocolate lab.

Surprised the Avalanche extended SOB for 3 yrs @ $2m per. Most Avs fans seem to hate him and he was far from awesome in Nashvegas.

[Palin]

That clip is awesome

Bure was my favorite player from his rookie year till his knees decided to stop working.

This is amazing.

Holy shit:

James Mirtle ‏@mirtle

Flames gave up Jordan Henry and a 5th round pick for Wideman's rights. Signed him to five-year deal for $5.25-mil a year.

That's a lot of fucking money and a long term for such defensive liability.

[Ratatapa]

Indeed

[Deader2818]

Flames gotta flame.

FOR REAL!?

8. Laugh maniacally as someone else signs Dennis Wideman.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA

We actually got something for his rights too? lololol

[Vaspinne]

We also signed Blake Comeau for another year. For what it's worth

Edit: On the one plus side, minus the $5.25mil cap hit every year, we only lost a no-name prospect and a 5th round pick. On the other plus-side, he was tied for 3rd in scoring among all Washington players last year and led the team with hits and blocked shots.

This was a good signing. Right?

No. You just gave a 5 year contract to Washington's 3rd pairing D-man.

[Vaspinne]

No. You just gave a 5 year contract to Washington's 3rd pairing D-man.

/sigh

Wide speculation right now is that this means Jay Bouwmeester and his $6.68mil/yr contract might be heading out the door. Here's hoping.

See... see my play on words/names there? >_>

[Wulfgang]

Haha CalgaryPuck forums going nuts over signing Wideman.

[bluefan]

Flames freeing up cap space and giving Caps a pick.

Damnit Flames.

[Vaspinne]

All I got.

[Ishido]

5.25 for Wideman? Suter is gonna get fuckin' paaaid.
