Free Agency Madness; Day 1

ISLES RUMORS:

-Doug Weight to sign with Isles (70%)

-Ron Hainsey to sign with Isles (20%)

-MARK STREIT TO SIGN WITH ISLES!!! (100%) - OFFICIAL




BLOGGER'S THOUGHTS:

-If we are in the rebuilding mode, why are we trying to sign older players? We already have Guerin and Sillinger. Who knows?

-Ryder would be a good pickup. I'll look deeper into this and see what's really happening. Nothing is official yet.

-Wow, goalies are going everywhere today.

-Isles have to be doing something soon.

-Goodness. Tampa is going to be a contender next year.

-8 goalies have new homes so far today. Amazing.

-Well, Rolston is gone. Epic fail version 2.0?

-Streit!!! WOO!!!
