Wouldn't a list of NHL Free Agent signings be a more apropos celebration for Canada Day than a mixtape?

What about that song by The Tragically Hip about the hockey player who disappeared?
"50 Mission Cap"

…Bill Barilko disappeared that summer,
he was on a fishing trip.
The last goal he ever scored
won the Leafs the cup.
They didn't win another until 1962,
the year he was discovered…

very true

heres a few Capitals notes

Kolzig signs with Tampa Bay
Huet signs with Chicago
Theodore signs with Washington

Wings resigned Stuart at a very reasonable 3.75 for 4 years, and got Ty Conklin to battle for the backup slot.

Campbell to Chicago (56.8 million over 8)
Rolston to Jersey
Darcy Tucker to Avs
Ducks resign Corey Perry for insane $$
Pitkanen traded for Cole

Hossa and Sundin are still out there and rumours have both of them getting offered 10+ million per. Some talk of Boston offering Hossa a max contract 11.3 per for 7. Then again, same rumormills said Campbell wouldn't sign for under 70 million so…

RFA rules suck

Vancouver offers Backes 2.5 mill per, St. Louis matches, just drives salaries up

LOL. Boston is always "in the mix" for these high priced free agents and never sign em. Even when there were millions after the trading deadline! The only decent players we've had in 10 years were out of the draft.

Wade Redden to Rangers for 6 years at 6.5 million per.

What the heck is up with these salaries. Wade Redden and Brian Campbell are making Nick Lidstrom money and neither are fit to pick up that guy's jockstrap. There's no wonder some of these teams get nowhere when they throw this kind of cash at merely good players.

Seriously, Wade Redden, 6.5million per.
