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. Quote:
The Swiss news site 20 Minutes Online reports Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Cristobal Huet will be loaned to the Swiss team Fribourg-Gotteron next season under a one-year contract.
SPECTOR'S NOTE: Hat tip to "Andreas" for the link. No official word yet from the Blackhawks but it's believed loaning Huet to a European team is among their options.

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  Quote: |
The Hawks have been trying to find a taker for Huet to clear his $5.625 million salary-cap hit off the books and a one-year agreement to loan him to Gotteron would do the trick. The Hawks would still have to pay Huet's salary, but it wouldn't count against the NHL's cap.

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.

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

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! | |

Going to answer my own question Quote: Vancouver Canucks defenceman Sami Salo and forward Alexandre Burrows will open the 2010-11 season on injured reserve.
Salo suffered a torn Achilles tendon this summer during a training session and is not expected to be back in the lineup until at least January.
In an interview with TSN's Farhan Lalji, General Manager Mike Gillis described Salo's injury as "severe" and said it is a four-to-six month recovery period from the time of surgery which took place at the beginning of August.
Burrows, who suffered a torn labrum in last year's playoffs, is expected to miss the opening month of the regular season.
The injuries to Burrows and Salo will save the Canucks approximately $5.5 USD million in salary cap space to start the season. Despite missing two key veterans this is welcome news to the Canucks in cap relief as the team is currently $3.1 million over the cap at $62.5 million.
Prior to Salo's injury the Canucks were exploring options on what to do with nine NHL ready defenceman, six of which make over $3 million per season. There was ample speculation that Kevin Bieksa's name was being thrown around as a possible trade option to try and get the team under the cap.
Gillis says given the current injuries the Canucks are happy going into camp with eight defenceman.

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.
