Free Agency Madness; Day 2

ISLES RUMORS:

-Isles interested in Georges Laraque (30%)

-Isles talking to Pavol Demitra (20%)




BLOGGER'S THOUGHTS:

-After a goalie filled day 1, with the Isles signing D Mark Streit last night, we head on to day 2, with top free agents Marian Hossa and Mats Sundin still on the market. Although they are most likey not Long Island bound, I have a handful of rumors still out there to start the day.

-I'm progressively working on updating the rosters and such.

-Yann Danis. That's our goalie right there!

-Hossa....Detroit? One year? What the hell?

-Doug Weight is an Islander. Nice.

-Huselius front is looking good. I'll look more into this.

-Ehh...Huselius thing looks like a fake rumor, sorry.

-Huselius..gone. Ughh.
