They will go out & get a goaltender. As long as it isn't Joseph, I'll be ok.

I don't think they should break up the Forsberg-Hejduk-Tanguay line though. They had something special going.

If anything they should play with Sakic since his linemates were garbage last year when he came back from injury.

Wings get Hatcher but it looks like they will for sure lose Federov.

Agree with Winky and Teddy without a goalie Kariya and Salanne don't do a whole lot.

Fedorov is a fukkin floater....he'll be lucky to get half of what he made last year, Him and Bure should stick to doin Kournikova (sp?)actually they didn't even do that good enough, she fuked off on both of them.
I think the Avs will indeed sign a Goalie, but do they have any budget left?

What a moron, $1.2 million. He has a better chance of winning a cup playing with JS behind him than Aebischer. What is he thinking???

Selanne, what a shell of a formerly great player he has become. When was the last time he was a great threat? He was struggling to get 60 points with the Sharks. He will probably score a little more in this lineup, but with the guys they have this looks like a team hoping to win 6-4 or 4-3 games. How far is that going to take them in the playoffs?

NO WAY Karia signed for 1.2 MIl. He was a hold out for 30/40 games a fews years back for 8 million. He's worth 12 million. I think either U misread or it was a typo. Karia's agent would never allow him to sign for such a paltry sum.

Look for Col. to move some expensive talent and try to get a proven goalie.

Never thought the Ducks would let Karia go...

Just looked it up... and stand corrected. Looks like Karia did sign for this paltry amount. BUT WHY? He's worth 10/12 Million. His K has to be LOADED w/ incentives!

Here the story from tsn.ca

The Colorado Avalanche are reuniting one of hockey's most dynamic duos from the 1990's, and they're doing it for a bargain price.



The Avalanche signed unrestricted free agents Paul Kariya and Teemu Selanne Thursday, making them teammates for the second time. The two played together in Anaheim for six seasons from 1996 to 2001.



The most surprising news about the signings is how little they cost Colorado. NHL management sources have told TSN that both men agreed to one-year contracts for far less than they made last season.



Kariya has signed for an astonishing $1.2 million for the upcoming season, a huge cut from the $10 million he made in each of the last five years in Anaheim. Selanne's deal will pay him $5.8 million, down from the $6.5 million he got last year in San Jose.



Kariya apparently took the cut to ensure that the two men can play together, and to give them a chance to win the Stanley Cup. The one year deal would also make him an unrestricted free agent again next summer, as he would be a 10-year veteran making less than the NHL's average salary.



In addition, with the Avalanche paying only $7 million to the two players, Colorado has salary room to acquire a goaltender if needed, or to pay Patrick Roy should he decide to end his retirement.



With the signings, the Avalanche now have what is without question the most dynamic group of forwards in the league. Kariya and Selanne join last year's NHL points leader Peter Forsberg, Milan Hejduk, the league's only 50 goal man from last season, and Joe Sakic, who was named the NHL's MVP in 2001.



Between them, the five men have recorded seven 50 goal seasons and eleven 100 point campaigns.



Kariya, Selanne, Sakic and Forsberg also have something else in common: they're all represented by Winnipeg based agent Don Baizley.

it is no secret kariya and the ducks management had a mostly hate-hate relationship. he has gotten really sick and tired of all of the crap he has been fed while on the team. this is his way of "sticking" it to ducks management who offered kariya a 4-year deal for between $24-$28M. i have been told by "someone" that heads will roll in the ducks for this - which is exactly what kariya wanted to happen.

mark this down in stone: next season the ducks might be one of the worst teams in the nhl! they have "2001-02 carolina hurricanes" written all over them!

Lets face it who were the Ducks even with those those players? Don't want to down play their accomplishments this year, it was incredible. JS played out of his mind and took an average team almost as far as they could go. I would have considered them nothing more then a playoff team next year with Kariya. As for Oates & Salanne I doubt they would make any team they went too better or worse
