Well, it is officially CANADA DAY! Happy 142nd Birthday to the glorious nation. Get out in red and white and be proud to be Canadian and remember all the men and women who lost their lives making this a safe, clean, respected and free nation! THANK YOU!This blog will become a special Sports Edition with all the action about to start tomorrow with NBA and NHL free agency opening.
BREAKING NEWS at this hour - Dany Heatley has been traded to the Edmonton Oilers. In return, Ottawa will receive Andrew Cogliano, Dustin Penner and Ladislav Smid. Because this transaction will go through before midnight, Edmonton will be on the hook for the $4 million signing bonus he is due to receive on July 1st. (Dany Heatley is now sleeping on the offer. There was confusion on when the $4 million signing bonus was due. Seems that it is Wednesday night at 11:59pm is when it's due.)
A major signing only hours ago was Jay Bouwmeester agreeing to terms with the Calgary Flames on a 5-year deal worth $6.6 million per season. Good on Daryl Sutter for being able to get this done before the feeding frenzy tomorrow.
Considering it is CANADA DAY on Wednesday, look for the other 4 Canadian teams to be quite active in the free agent frenzy tomorrow beginning at noon. I'll have as many updates as possible as well as a round-up tomorrow night! ENJOY!
The maple leafs winning a Stanley Cup is as futile a project as waiting in line on Canada Day for a free Mandarin lunch. A pathetic endeavor, mocked by anyone who knows better - if the NHL were a dog, it would be put down by now, bye Ol' Yeller
