I’m happy with Guerin and the thoughts of Comrie, but not holding my breath. We took a huge blow by losing Blake, Yash and Smyth. I’m not so much on Snow’s back, its the fact that the owner knows nothing about hockey. I don’t like how they ask us to be patient when we’ve been patient for 15+ years now.
But hey, i’ll take it, i’m happy for now. Lets see what else they can do.

Mike Comrie is now official for at least one year.

I’m feeling a little better on offense although it still needs work. If they don’t re-sign Asham they need to get someone gritty and mean like Todd Fedoruk.

Now we need a couple of veteran D’s who can really do a good job of protecting the net or else it is going to be open season on Rick. And you can’t expect him to carry the team all season.

1) Simon has been signed from sources within the organization. For 1 year at 650K + incentives that could push it to 1-1.2 mil
2) The team needs to add another defensemen. They have had talks with Sutton as well as Tanabe. Souray wants 6.5-7 mil, so we doubt the Isles will bite at that inflated salary!
3) They still have plenty of cap space to add another forward and defensemen. The forward may not come until August when arbitration causes some teams to have to shed salary and trade bargains can be had.
