Why does this guy have such a hard time finding NHL jobs? Always liked him when he played for the Flames. Good depth player.

Hope he kicks butt and earns a 2-3 year deal. The Whirling Dervish!

Good luck Lee, I hope you make it.

And since no one else has mentioned it yet, I'd rather have Stempniak than Raymond any day.

I think if you go back to about July 5 or so, there have been more UFAs signed to tryouts than to contracts.

Stemps still has wheels and grit to game. Plays it the right way and with passion. Great bottom 6 guy.

Wonder if Cammy played a role here?

I thought he was great down the stretch run, with the Jets last season. I personally thought we should have kept him. Good depth player.

Yup! He seemed like he liked it here too.
He would be a perfect addition to our top 6. Cammi, Bennet, Frolik as a 2nd unit with Monahadreau??

Anyways, I'm surprised Stempniak is having a hard time getting a contract. Was he bad last season? He was a great player for us.

Good for Stempniak. My most vivid memory is him being at the receiving end of that goofball Ference's cheap shot as retaliation for a totally legitimate check by Stemp.

$850,000 one year deal for Stempniak. Raymond 2 years left at $3.15 million. Yeah Raymond is not going anywhere.

Good for him. Loved it when he deaked Duncan Keith for a goal.

While that was memorable, and also complete crap, my most vivid memory of him was when he had 2 clone-like goals breaking into the right side of the offensive zone and sniping the far top corner over the tender's shoulder from the top of the circle.
