75% chance that Havlat and Gaborik sign with LA tomorrow and the man behind the signings..............Handzus, then he'll be worth every bit of that 4 million a year
Yep, I have a twitter account (needed for my side job) and the Havlat one is real. His agent has even used it to respond from his account.
It's amazing the things you can learn on twitter when following the right people. I heard about the Higgins/Gomez trade well before it was here and on TSN. Twitter should be a perfect way to follow what's going down tomorrow.
Oh, and Hammond does have a twitter, but just posts links when he posts on the blog.
I am twitter illiterate so I have no clue, I avoid it like the plague, but as I look at it closer I think Quisp is right - Gaborik's doesn't seem to be real, but Havlat's is...

Dang... I didn't even see that connection, were would they have to come in salary wise to fit with re-uping Fro.
Question, could we sign both Gabby and Havlat and keep Fro? man this would be to sweet. Just throwing numbers out there, 6 for Gabby and 5 for Havlat and 6 for Fro?
What I do not like though is that if Dean does fail there will be dozens crawling out of the woodwork praising him for the chutzpah to resist signing an overpriced guy....even if that means another top 5 draft pick.
I would've been one of them, but I've changed my view. Now is the time to bring in a legitimate top line player. It needs to be done now. They've built up depth at EVERY position. Defense is stronger and deeper than it has ever been. Goaltending is now one of the top 2 depth positions, after defense. They've just drafted there potential future #2 center. Goaltending, defense, and forward depth is stronger than it will ever be. The depth is silly on this team. But, you've gotta add a proven scorer to not only help the team to continue to grow, but to also say to both the players and the fans, "Hey, we believe in this team, and we're serious about taking that next step towards a championship."
Go out and sign Gaborik, Hossa, or Havlat. I would be happier with DL signing Gaborik. He's still young, so he fits the whole growing with the team that Lombardi preaches.
Lombardi signs one of Gaborik, Hossa, or Havlat and this team is in the playoffs next year without a doubt. Now is the time to add onto what he has built. The team has learned the defensive part of the game, next year they will learn how to transition a strong defensive game into offense. By adding one of those 3 players I mentioned helps a lot with doing that.
This is why I hate twitter. Havlat and Gaborik? Lombardi had to have really wined and dined them to sign for super cheap because I don't see him agreeing to two mega contracts.
Eklund just posted on the twitter that RDS is reporting that Heatley blocked the trade even though the players going to OTT have been told they've been traded.
If this is true, Heatley should go **** himself and play in the KHL.

That would be funny.
However, stupid of both the Oilers to tell their players they are getting traded until it is official. Also stupid of the Sens to let the deal leak until Heatley agreed.
He has that NTC for a reason. If Ottawa had any misgivings they shouldn't have given him one or they should have traded him before he had one. Bottom line.
Shoot man, I can only handle one.
