Buffalo Signs Tim Connoly

The Buffalo Sabres have signed Tim Connoly to a new 2 year deal this morning. 2 years 4.5 per year.

HTR notes that the value of Olli Jokinen has just gone up due to the fact that Connoly is off the market.

     Wow, Connolly's talent is worth $5million/yr but with his injury history that seems like a lot of money.

    That's what I was thinking. He's very very fragile. HANDLE WITH CARE BUFFALO.

    Anyone think it's possible that Jay Bouwmeester goes to Buffalo?  With the signing of Tim Connoly, a simple look at their numbers will tell you that they are running out of room to resign all their talented forwards (25 million on 5 forwards).  They need to resign Stafford, Kaleta, MacArthur and possibly Kotalik.  They also need a big name defensemen, as they don't have a lot of firepower their moving forward.

    to FLA:
    Drew Stafford, Jaroslav Spacek and a 1st round pick
    To BUF:
    Jay Bouwmeester, Nick Boynton

    The Sabres get their big name defensemen, and would have a good chance at resigning him.  It's a hockey market, without the pressure of a canadian hockey market.  Stafford can help with a playoff push right now for Florida, and Spacek can competently replace Bouwmeester for the time being….

    Turing out to be a pretty boring deadline day.  Better pick up pretty quick.

    It's been almost 2 hours since the last trade. This is a ridiculously slow day. Hopefully things pick up in the PM but I'm thinking it's going to be a slow slow day overall.
