I would hope they sign nobody and Make a trade with a team that needs salary relief.

Someone is going to have to tell me why they want Connolly. Never scored more than 12 goals or 25 points in a season. Bounced around a few different teams so far. Seems like a huge bust to me.

Pierre LeBrun ‏@Real_ESPNLeBrun 22s23 seconds ago As many have speculated, Brian Campbell has made his decision and it's going to be a return to Chicago. Likely a one-yr deal around $2M

And why is Jimmy Hayes a better option? IMO, they're one and the same except Connelly would be cheaper to get.

Craig Custance @CraigCustance
Things can change in a phone call but it doesn't look like any last-second deal coming w/Backes & Blues. I'd expect him to hit market.

Because he's kinda young and new and has potential, blah blah blah....

It's the shiny new toy syndrome, someone else's crap must be better than my crap.

For a team with a lot of veterans and not much young talent, maybe Connelly is a good fit. The Flames are not a good fit for Connelly. Flames need veterans who can play.

Jesus...he made $7 million last year. That's quite the pay cut.

Edit: Had wrong AAV.

That would make a trio of expensive, overrated forwards for them. Good good....

David Pagnotta ‏@TheFourthPeriod 6s7 seconds ago Kyle Okposo has narrowed down his options to just a few choices. Working on those options now before making final decision.

Pierre LeBrun ‏@Real_ESPNLeBrun 31s32 seconds ago No confirmation yet out of Montreal but I hear that the Red Wings offered Radulov a one-year deal worth $5 million...

Bigger, tougher, more established as an NHLer IMO. He had 19 goals one season ago.

Besides, that's a trade proposal to get rid of Wideman's contract. Win-win.

Chris Johnston @reporterchris
Hearing the #leafs are kicking tires on James Wisniewski. Right-shot defenceman was bought out by CAR yesterday.

Elliotte Friedman @FriedgeHNIC
Word is NYI and Frans Nielsen "have moved on." Barring last-minute change of heart, he is going to market.

Sounds like 4 teams still interested in Eric Staal. And none of them play home games in the Carolinas.
