Atlanta, Vancouver and Columbus are the teams looking at Andrew Alberts.

Although, it's Eklund, so take it for what it's worth.

Apparently he wants 3 years, and the Pens are only offering 2, same as they did with Jarkko Ruutu last year.

Yup so we offer more money to overpay for him and add a NTC....id rather just add the 3rd year and be done w. it. No average player deserves a NTC.

Anyone hear anything on the McGrattan front in terms of teams that are interested?

Phoenix is looking to add a tough guy. Cha-ching

Quote:
The Coyotes have added a goalie, a defenseman and a forward via free agency over the past two days, but General Manager Don Maloney says the team is not done looking for new players.

“I think we’ve really helped our team so far, but every day we keep trying to make us better and we still have some work to do,” Maloney told me during a brief lunch break in his office on Wednesday. “We have room in our budget to add more players. We’re looking to find more skill and scoring. But I’m in no rush. We have lots of time before the puck drops in October.”

Maloney also is looking to add a tough guy to the roster.

Ya I read that sounds good because i was not a big fan of the Fiddler signing and was worrying we wouldn't go and get one. I'd like for the Yotes to pick Mcgratton back up.

Its Eklund so who knows how true it is, but he says the Jackets are one of the teams in on Beauchemin now.

I'm gonna chalk this up as because it's Eklund so it's probably not true. I have no idea why Columbus would be interested in Alberts. We need a defenseman that can run the PP, and he doesn't fit that criteria.

I thought we did well with the Aucoin signing. But Fiddler will help out with our pk and has a little bit of grit so its not that bad.

I think the yotes are looking for a tough guy that is not a liability and honestly I don't think McGrattan can fulfill that.

Ya I did like that Aucoin signing a lot too and your probable right with us not wanting the liability so someone like Moen would be good.

Good to hear. I wasn't aware of that until I read last night that the Coyotes were one of the teams interested in signing Orr. I guess an offer was made, however it definitely couldn't match the offer Burke gave Orr.

I believe it was from a Detroit newspaper. If I find a link I'll post it.
