    Toronto just signed Alex Khavanov, defenseman to a 1year contract.



    Funny...

        I think Toronto is still trying to lure Wendel Clark out of retirement for $5 million a season.

          I met Wendel Clark in person and have his autograph.

          Classy guy.

                That's probably because no one would even give up a fourth round draft pick for those two plumbers.

                    • Thornton re-signs with Boston.

                      Lindros with Toronto a done deal.

                      Lecavalier looking to sign long term with Tampa Bay; will take less money if core of team can be kept intact.

                      • The 'Nucks have been too reluctant to let underperformers go in recent years - Cloutier and the Sedin sisters being prime examples.

                        I wouldn't want Cujo or other aging vets, and Auld isn't the answer (he didn't even play for the Moose during their playoffs) - but something has to change, hopefully by mid-season.

                        Without getting into whether it's right or not, it's great that Bertuzzi is free to play right away - makes him more marketable to trade.

                        The biggest immediate problem is on the backend - they need to fill the holes left by Malik and Sopel. Resigning Sami Salo today is good, but not enough.

                        • The problem is who to replace Cloutier with. Khabiboulin was the only big name goalie out there, and you'd think that given Cloutier's solid regular season performances, he'll come around in the playoffs eventually - he wasn't looking too bad before he went down in 2003. I guess they could have tried to get Thibault. Not sure if that would have been an improvement.

                          Beyond that, who really is a proven playoff performer that would be A) available for trade and B) not geriatric?

                          The Sedins could go for a bag of pucks, though.

                              • I don't know what it is going to take for the Canucks to give up on the Sedins, but so long as they are adequate, they are going to have a job.
