2009 NHL Free Agency Day 1: New Jersey Devils Recap
In Lou We Trust — ...   Only the last one looks good; but if Cammalleri doesn't perform, these can all be big failures in short order.  UPDATE: Make it 4 out of 5 not-so-good looking deals: Brian Gionta signed with Montreal for $25 million over 5 years - at least a $1 million/year too much, in my opinion. ...

Welcome Little Gionta!
Four Habs Fans — Add Brain Gionta to the top line with Gomez and Calamari. 5 years, $25M. According to Eklund (I know, I know), the Habs have about $7M left to sign Pleks, Dagger, CHips and Tenderness, for the following roster: Gionta-Gomez-Calamari Big Tits-Pleks-Little Tits/Dagger Patches-Laps-Tenderness Metro-CHips-Laraque/Stewart Markov-Gill Hamr-Jaro 2.0 Georges-O'Byrne/Weber TFS Jaro 1.0 Doesn't seem like there is a lot of dough for Kovy or Tanguay or Saks or Lang. Doesn't look like a Cup wining roster, either. ...

Late signings: Gaborik, Gionta and Sullivan
IllegalCurve.com — ... Brian Gionta has signed with the Montreal Canadiens for 5 years, $25 million.  A lot of money to throw at Gionta, but the Habs have clearly demonstrated their intention to go with speed and skill moving forward.  Aside from Hal Gill, the Habs have gotten smaller this off-season and I didn’t know that was possible. ...

Thursday Morning LEEInks
LEEInks — Free agency has begun in both the NHL and NBA, with big-name players already on the move, including a few local college heroes landing in spots that will undoubtedly decrease their popularity in Boston. In the NHL, the most popular free agent was taken off the market early when the Blackhawks decided it would be a good idea to pay Marian Hossa $5.233 million as a 42-year old. The 12-year deal is worth $62.8 million total, and while the average salary isn’t too devastating in the short term, Hossa will undoubtedly kill Chicago’s cap when he’s past his prime and the Blackhawks are trying to make ...
