Steve Yzerman Is Doing It All

- As the new General Manager of the Tampa Bay Lightning, Steve Yzerman is doing a lot. Whether it's helpful now or not is the question.

Today, he traded Matt Walker and their 2011 fourth-round pick for Simon Gagne.

Here's the link.

To us, it seems like Tampa didn't give enough for Simon Gagne. But maybe that's because we're Penguins fans and he always scores on Fleury.


- Now we can put an end to the Kovalchuk drama. He finally re-signed with the New Jersey Devils to an a contract that we're actually scared to find out how much it is.

Woth this signing, the Devils will need to make some moves to free up cap space. Is it worth it? We'll see soon enough.


- Tomorrow is the release of the Blackhawks Championship DVD.

How much is it and where can we find it? That's all we want to know.


- Speaking of the Hawks, this is what Kris Versteeg did with the Cup on his two-day adventure

(thanks to Shanny for the assist)


- And the Wild signed Mikko Koivu to a seven-year contract extension.

Thank the hockey gods they have someone still just to make it interesting in the Northwest division.


- This is from the Chicago Tribune and it's such an "Aw!" moment

The last picture's so sweet!

Oh, yeah. Other stuff. I think Yzerman's making some good moves so far, though of course we have to see it play out on the ice in October. I like the idea of a bit of competition for the Capitals in their division.

The Kovalchuk contract is just plain laughable. I only like this because this signals that the Devils may not be playing the trap so much, which is good for the Penguins.
