yes. why LA would ever part with him is beyond me. The Quick/Fast pairing!

haha good point.
i've been watching this guy ever since he got a player of the week award in the WHL last year. he's offensive talent is top drawer but he'll need to fill out a little and get better defensively to get there. he has the skills though.

well, good for the blues, I guess. they've been solid on defense for a long time--not sure why they felt the need to pull the trigger.

Everywhere I've read said it was a 5th rounder next year.
Considering Lombardi always says the Kings are short on Defensive prospects and then trades Fast for a 5th round pick has most Kings fans very very confused.
Quick in net and Fast on defense. I have to admit it would have been cool to have that.
Btw Strat haven't seen you on AIM lately. You going to see the Blues and Kings in KC?

yeah, guess it was a 5th rounder. my bads.
I was going to buy tickets at $50 apiece to go with my dad, girlfriend, and friend of the family, but apparently our friend has some connections to get tickets cheaper. I'm excited.

The Pittsburgh Penguins have elected to file for salary arbitration with goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury, it was announced today by Executive Vice President and General Manager Ray Shero.
Arbitration hearings are set by the National Hockey League and take place from July 20 to August 4. Both sides can continue to negotiate a contract until that time. As a result of the filing, the Penguins retain his rights and he will not become a restricted free agent on July 1.
“By filing for salary arbitration it gives us extra time to continue to negotiate a contract with Marc-Andre,” stated Ray Shero. “As a result of the filing, Penguins' fans are assured that Marc-Andre will be under contract to our club for next season. Marc-Andre has done a tremendous job for us. We remain committed to negotiating a contract with him in the near future."
Fleury, 23, helped lead the Penguins to the 2008 Eastern Conference championship and a berth in the Stanley Cup Final. He was originally selected by the Penguins first overall in the 2003 NHL Draft.

yes, that's what teams have been using arbitration for. pretty nice safeguard, although I'd like to see a list of teams who actually have all of the picks in tact to even make such an offer. I yearn for the day when buffalo snipes back at edmonton with an offer sheet.

According to a source...
"offer on the table between Ottawa and Kings, Spezza and OTT's first round pick for Cammalleri and the Kings first round pick" ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE
"Leafs are shopping Antropov around to get another first round pick." TRUE (but no one will give up a first rounder for him)
"McCabe has waived his no movement clause to go to the Islanders." ABSOLUTELY 100% NOT TRUE
"Habs also have interest in Thrashers pick...(e3)" I have no idea
