Sv: Kontrakterade spelare
WarhawK: En liten kommentar från Howard Berger,  The Fan-590 Radio, Toronto, om Leafs fiskande efter spelare:

"In this most unorthodox of hockey summers, followers of the Toronto Maple Leafs are acting quite normally. Fans are trying to convince themselves that the Maple Leafs will clear enough cap space to sign Peter Forsberg, Paul Kariya, Glen Murray, Jason Allison, Scott Niedermayer, Chris Pronger and Nikolai Khabibulin. And that all seven players have only one city on their free agency radar."

Samt lite ytterligare om en viss spelare i ett lag i New Jersey: "Niedermayer told yours truly two weeks ago that he wasn’t expecting to be “overwhelmed” by an offer from Devils’ GM Lou Lamoriello, and that Toronto would be attractive to him because “…you know, as a player, the arena is going to be sold out every night. And that’s important.” It’s also something he has never experienced in 13 years at the Meadowlands. Despite three Stanley Cups, the Devils routinely play before four and five-thousand empty seats on most nights.

Ferguson would almost surely offer Niedermayer close to the $7.8-million salary maximum if he can create enough cap space. But, Niedermayer would optimally like to remain in New Jersey; he and his wife, Lisa, are both from western Canada (where the Vancouver Canucks reside), and he reportedly wants to play with his brother, Rob, recently of the Anaheim Mighty Ducks."
