The $10 million a year offer for Sundin appears to be from Vancouver.

This needs to happen simply for the possibility of a Sedin-Sedin-Sundin line.

SUNDIN GETTING BIG OFFERS AS A FREE AGENT

DARREN DREGER

TSN

7/1/2008 2:48:19 PM

The threat of retirement is not standing in the way of NHL teams taking a hard run at free agent forward Mats Sundin.

Sources tell TSN as many as four teams have tabled offers for the 37 year old, including the Vancouver Canucks, who have offered a whopping $10 million per year on a two-year contract.

Sundin, who remains in Sweden is said to considering all of his options, but has yet to decide whether or not he play next season.

Sundin scored 32 goals and 46 assists for 78 points in 74 games with the Toronto Maple Leafs last season. It was his best offensive season since 2001-2002 when he notched 80 points.

Sundin, who has 1321 points in 1305 career NHL games, has been with the Maple Leafs since 1994.

It's a relief to know there's at least one GM stupider than Glen Sather.

Steal of the day! Especially considering the contracts that Carter and Green signed.

Why is Jeff Finger worth $3.5mill a season? I don't even know anything about him.
2 years in the NHL and he made $475k last year?

Anyone know squat about The Finger?

Hell a +12 defenceman? Welcome to Toronto. Excuse the shite you'll be playing with, we'll be cleaning it up over the next few years.
How is it he is 28 and only playing in the NHL a season and change, and is +12. Someone in scouting pulled a bouquet of roses out of his ass.

The Toronto Maple Leafs jumped into the free agent market on Tuesday, signing defenceman Jeff Finger to a four-year deal worth $3.5 million a season and goaltender Curtis Joseph to a one-year, $700,000 contract.

Finger, 28, played 72 games with the Colorado Avalanche last season, tallying 19 points and a +12 rating. In 94 career NHL games, he has 24 points and a +22.

It is pretty strange how much Edmonton changes year to year.
sorry pie

OILERS BRING IN COLE, BRULE WITH PAIR OF TRADES

7/1/2008 3:34:11 PM

While other teams were focused on the free agent market, the Edmonton Oilers re-vamped their roster with a couple of trades.

The Oilers have traded hard-hitting left winger Raffi Torres to the Columbus Blue Jackets in exchange for 21-year-old centre Gilbert Brule, and sent defenceman Joni Pitkanen to the Carolina Hurricanes for winger Erik Cole.

The Oilers have now made three trades in the last few days. On Sunday they acquired defenceman Lubomir Visnovsky from Los Angeles for forward Jarret Stoll and defenceman Matt Greene.

They might not be done there - the Oilers are also in hot pursuit of unrestricted free agent forward Marian Hossa.

Torres, 26, is a stocky winger who relishes the physical side of the game, but missed the last 49 games of the 2007-2008 season with a knee injury. He had just 11 points in 32 games, the third straight season in which his point totals dipped after he hit a career-high 46 points in 67 games with the Oilers in 2004-2005.

Brule has managed 32 points in 146 career games with Columbus, getting a trip to the AHL this season (where he scored 10 points in 16 regular season games and five points in 13 playoff games) in an effort to regain the confidence that he had displayed in junior. He was drafted sixth overall by the Blue Jackets in 2005.

Torres has two years and $5.15-million remaining on his current contract, while Brule will earn $765,000 next season before he's a restricted free agent.

"Raffi Torres is an experienced NHL player who combines a physical presence with the ability to score goals," said Blue Jackets general manager Scott Howson. "He will also bring to our club the experience of someone who has played deep into the playoffs as he was a significant contributor to Oilers' run to the 2006 Stanley Cup Finals."

Pitkanen is a restricted free agent. He had 8 goals and 18 assists for 26 points in 63 games last season. Pitkanen was the fourth overall pick in the 2002 draft, but has now been traded twice in his short NHL career.

"Joni is the type of puck-moving, offensive player we hoped to add to our defensive corps," said Hurricanes general manager Jim Rutherford. "He is a proven NHL player who will join Joe Corvo in strengthening our power play."

Cole, 29, will essentially replace Torres on the wing for Edmonton. He scored 22 goals and 29 assists last season with Carolina. He has 81 goals in the last three seasons, including 30 in just 60 games in 2005-2006.

Cole has one year left on his current deal at $4 million.

"We thank Erik for his years of service to the Hurricanes organization and the Triangle community," said Rutherford. "We wish Erik, his wife Emily, and their family the best of luck in the future."
