The Edmonton Oilers have traded captain Jason Smith and forward Joffrey Lupul to the Philadelphia Flyers for Joni Pitkanen, Geoff Sanderson and a third round draft pick in 2009.

The Edmonton Oilers have traded captain Jason Smith and forward Joffrey Lupul to the Philadelphia Flyers for Joni Pitkanen, Geoff Sanderson and a third round draft pick in 2009. Wow, shows how desperate the Oilers were for a puck moving defenseman, and how much Lupul's and Pitkanen's stock went down over the past season. Perrault had a fairly nice season for Phoenix didn't he? I think he's capable of being a solid #2 center. With Nylander, he really didn't score many points without Jagr, but if he could create some good chemistry with Havlat as he did with Jaromir, it could certainly be a shrewd signing.

IlliniKrush Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Tallon sets deadline for Handzus deal: tonight http://blackhawks.nhl.com/team/app/?servic...rticleid=326986 Can't say I blame him. We'll see what happens. Also of note, Keith and I were at prospects camp, however Kane was a no show. Something about him being late after his physical at the UC or something, it's not quite clear yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniKrush Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Hawks sign Lang, 2 years http://blackhawks.nhl.com/team/app/?servic...rticleid=327004 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSGuy406 Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 (edited) Robert Lang is a Blackhawk, so it looks like Handzus is gone. Kind of a bummer there, but Zus is looking to break the bank with both money and years even after a serious injury + surgery. Lang for two years is okay -- not a long term deal, he's clearly a declining player but hopefully playing with Havlat and Samsonov will give him a bit of a boost. BTW, I'd imagine the Hawks might be done in free agency with this signing. So, if it was opening night tomorrow, I'd guess things would look like... Samsonov - Lang - Havlat Ruutu - Toews - Kane Williams - Sharp - Vrbata Borque - Perrault - ??? Koci (These aren't exact defensive pairings, just getting the six-seven guys down) Seabrook - Zyuzin Keith - Wisniewski Barker - Vandermeer Johannson Edited July 2, 2007 by CWSGuy406 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniKrush Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 (edited) It also puts Toews to the 2nd line and YP to the 3rd/4th, which I'm all for. Having YP or Toews at #1 just would be too damn ugly to watch all year, and could hurt Toews' growth. 2 years is workable, though i'd like to know the monetary terms. Everyone knows it's a stop gap, but that's fine with this team. I can live with this, certainly. I wonder if he's still looking to sign a 2nd tier dman with the (presumably) extra money we have left? Like Keith and I were talking about today, with Lang, YP in the fold, if everything goes according to plan (no huge injuries, Kane/Toews contribute pretty well), you will have a Hawks team that is not only in a rebuilding phase, but will be right there til the end as far as the 7-8 playoff spot is concerned. I'd welcome that after the past few years. Edited July 2, 2007 by IlliniKrush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critic, you probably saw more Detroit games than I did last year -- do you remember who Lang's linemates were last season. And also, your thoughts on the signing? BTW, they're reporting the deal as two years, eight million which is probably too much money. Edited July 3, 2007 by CWSGuy406 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Jul 2, 2007 -> 02:36 PM) Hawks sign Lang, 2 years http://blackhawks.nhl.com/team/app/?servic...rticleid=327004 I like this move. Lang is a good veteran to have around to help teach all the young offensive players. He also has a history of winning which will hopefully help form a better attitude in Chicago (when it comes to learning how to win and be a winner). It would be great if they could still get Handus.

Nope, although you'll be able to see him just about any time you want -- he just signed a 4/$16 deal with LA, along with Nagy and former Hawk Kyle Calder.
