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.
