Figured it'd be a good idea for all the random free agency talk to get thrown together.

Report out of MTL says Markov has re-signed with the Habs for two years and a cap hit of 5.75 (same as his old deal). That drops the Habs down to $15M in cap space (going with reported $64M cap ceiling) with 16 players signed, if accurate.

I'm really curious as to what will happen to Ville Leino since it sounds like Bryz will get his money from Philly

I can see Leino going to europe/russia

Oh that would suck, he's such a good player. I've actually hoped that the Sabres would get him

Yeah, me too, I've always liked Leino.

TSN hearing Mike Richards to LA for Brayden Schenn and Wayne Simmonds could happen today. Holy fucking shit.

Wtf is Philly doing???

It's Gord Miller saying it via Twitter, but Pierre LeBrun says three league execs say Mike Richards is in fact in play.

I mean Bryz is going to help but not enough to replace those two (Whom I hate but I cant say they arent great players)

TSN reporting M Richards for Wayne Simmonds and Brayden Schenn is a done deal. Holy fuck, Flyers.
