The Tomas Holmstrom/Kris Draper/Kirk Maltby as Red Wings scapegoats line
Snapshots —
... : Red Wings' worst value for a contract next season: Tomas Holmstrom at $2.25 million. Marian Hossa will be a fine fit for the Blackhawks, but they lost more than they gained in free agency Wednesday when Martin Havlat signed with Minnesota and Nikolai Khabibulin with Edmonton. Sign of the times: Just how much salaries were down for NHL free agents. 46 players signed at an average of $8,826,086.96 over the terms of their contracts on Wednesday, per James Mirtle, for a total of $406 million...And the loss of Matt Walker to Tampa Bay hurts the Hawks more than you'd think.

Beyond the Wilderness: The Haves and the Havlat's

... Gaborik. Now some people might thing that the 5 year 7.5 million dollar contract is too steep for the oft-injured sniper but I disagree. Gaborik, when healthy, is top 3 snipers in the league; behind Kovalchuk and Ovechkin. If you disagree with me name the players that feed Gaborik the puck ... Exactly, I thought so. Gaborik will help the power play become lethal, and he will help round out the lines because the Rangers finally have a legit 1st line winger.
