And apparently Edm is holding half of his salary...

Re: Hemsky is a Senators

It's actually a 3rd and a 5th. Pretty good trade for the Sens.

Re: Hemsky is a Senators

Yeah, let's not forget he's UFA though. REALLY hope he gels with Spezza. I'd like to see these combos:

Michalek - Spezza - Hemsky
MacArthur - Turris - Ryan
Hoffman - Zibanejad - Condra
Greening - Smith - Neil
Da Costa

Apparently Hemsky and Michalek know each other. Hopefully this gets 9MM going again.

There's a pretty good Calgary Flames prospect playing for them right now, Emile Poirier. http://theqmjhl.ca/roster/show/id/8455 We should go watch them play sometime.

Re: Hemsky is a Senators

Michalek-Spezza-Hemsky has potential...

Re: Hemsky is a Senators

Murray has a good track record on these low-risk signings. This could pan out a la Anderson trade or MacArthur FA.

Re: Hemsky is a Senators

Agreed. One of our members here, Matches Malone, had researched the likelihood of draft picks becoming solid NHL players and the results were pretty dismal outside the first two rounds. A 3rd and 5th is nothing compared to an NHL regular in my opinion. Of course, you can kind of see it like we also lost Conacher for him, so let's hope he at least re-signs with us!

I wonder - do you still have that research Matches??
