Looking like Huet will be playing in Switzerland next season. Not a bad deal for him, gets paid $5mil from the Blackhawks to play in live in beautiful Switzerland.

I'm sure Fribourg-Gotteron are paying for that $5 mil

Highly doubt that, top salary in the Swiss league is about $200,000US and the vast majority of players make under $150,000US. Word is Chicago will be paying pretty much all the $5mil they owe to Huet to play in Switzerland this year.

Hawks will be paying him :)

It was a news release from Friday, and you think it would be brand new information here when posting it today? :p

soo... when is mitchell supposed to make his announcement?

Today or tomorrow.

For anyone interested in getting a Hamhuis jersey like I am, he has been assigned #2. Already ordered my jersey :D

@reidder: Mitchell and Morrison both skating with the #canucks at UBC. Willie is wearing a generic jersey. http://tweetphoto.com/40941750

Is it confirmed?

I know on the site they have him as #2 but I havent' read anything that confirmed it.

The new Mattias Öhlund?

I don't think I can bring myself to buy another #2 Canucks jersey, Ohlie will always be the only #2 for the Nucks to me.

To me it's kinda weird if Hamhuis does wear #2...

I would wait until it's 100% confirmed b4 buying a jersey or whatever lol

common mitchell, back to the nucks!

Cool... my son's first and middle names are "Brendan Mitchell"... :D

Same goes for me.

My all-time fave Canuck and the only Canuck jersey I have.

Been watching HBO's Hard Knocks training camp with the Jets getting hyped for the NFL season, such an amazing show even tho I hate the Jets. The NHL really needs to do something similar with TSN or Sportsnet.

+1

Got an Ohlund jersey over Linden.

Ohlie ftw :bowdown:

Hamhius Ballard
Salo Edler
Erhoff Mitchell

SOB
Rome
Alberts

In no particular order.. 23.95 mil assuming no Bieksa and Mitchell signs for 2 mil. We could send Rome / Alberts to the minors.. assuming they would clear waivers so that would be 22.15 mil

good eye, but the danger is that Salo isn't ready for the start of the season. Someone has to go tho, and no rookie is gonna sit on the bench LOL

NHLSourcesSay: Willie Mitchell should make decision on where he's playing by 7:00 Pacific time, if not, tomorrow is the latest.

@reidder: Mitchell didn't want to talk specifics but said "you'll all find out soon enough" about where he'll end up

@hosea24hours: Willie: ''Im flattered a lot of teams are interested & fortunately, the main teams interested have shot at winning it all''

COME BACK WILLIE!

sign the Kovy contract will finally get done soon?

SOB will probably take his place, so anybody have an update on Burrows??

Going to answer my own question

CTV.ca

Shitty deal man... no Salo until January.. at the earliest..thats a little less than half the season.. FUCK

I don't understand why you guys sound upset or surprised that Salo is injured.
