Jaromir Jagr (45 pts) to the New York Rangers for Anson Carter (17 pts). More importantly, the Caps will save about 7 million a year on his salary - I haven't heard yet what Carter makes, but it won't be close to that.
Rumors are rampant that the Caps are shopping goalie Kolzig, forwards Lang and Bondra, and defenseman Gonchar. Lang is a newcomer, the others are long-time Caps and would really be missed for more than their ice time.
In fantasy hockey news, I dropped rapidly in the standings when both of my goaltenders realized that they were human and quit playing over their heads. Things have settled down now, and with the return of two good players from IR, I'm slowly climbing back into contention (currently 5th place).
Posted by Ted at January 23, 2004 08:37 PMRumours are swirling that the Leafs are going after Gonchar big time.
I hope that it comes to pass. He would look great in blue and white reunited with Ken Klee.
Although Klee has emerged as a bit of a scorer now that he doesn't have to worry about Gonchar's defensive lapses.
Also Ottawa is pitching hard for Bondra.
If they get Bondra and the Leafs don't get Gonchar the honeymoon will be over in Leafland for new GM John Ferguson Jr.
Leaf fans are furious that all these players are going for firesale prices and Mangement is standing by watching.
