More NHL Signings

- Kariya to the Blues

Will add a ppg to the team, and could be the kind of fitness freak to inspire Keith Tkachuk to stay away from the buffet table.

- Poti to the Capitals

He's an expensive addition to run the powerplay given how lousy he's been at it for both the Rangers and Islanders the last half decade.

- Sydor to the Pens

Cause they were really lacking in puck-moving defensemen who aren't all that strong in their own zone.

- Sykora to the Pens

Will fill the role vacated by Ouellet, except he's twice as good and could score 100 goals with Crosby/Malkin/Staal as his pivots. Reports that Sykora has died and gone to heaven, are not confirmed.

- Smyth to the Avalanche

I bet Oiler fans are such losers they will faul to boo him when he comes back 12 times a year. Suckers. The good news is that Lowe extracted two marginal players and a mid-round 1st rnd pick for him. Ha!

And then from the 'really, who cares?' realm of signings;

- Perrault to the Chi-Hawks

He's found another team to be a third line checker for. Awesome. Expect the Leafs to have to trade for him as part of their stretch drive to make the playoffs.

- Brookbank to the Blue Jackets

Makes them tougher. In practices.

- Hamilton to the Hurricanes

Should light it up for their AHL affiliate till injuries strike.

- Dvorak to the Panthers

Radikal!
