Praise For Poile (Kukla's Korner)

Thu, 26 Jun 2008 15:33:30 GMT

from Edward Fraser at the Hockey News, When I first heard about [Dan] Ellis’ new deal, I assumed the $3.5 million was his annual salary, not the two-year total. Even at $3.5 per, Ellis wouldn’t have been overpaid as a starting goalie. So, in other words, at $1.5 million next season and $2 million in 2009-10, Ellis is a steal. And Poile, the only GM the Preds have ever known, should...

Blues Need Backup Help (Kukla's Korner)

Thu, 19 Jun 2008 13:41:12 GMT

from Norm Sanders of the News-Democrat, The Blues will likely target a backup goalie with NHL experience. Recent trade rumors had them linked with Ottawa goalie Ray Emery and Nashville’s Dan Ellis, so a draft-day deal could be a possibility. “I think a lot of that will develop once free agency hits,” Davidson said. “You can go and make a trade and get somebody here, that means you’re giving...

Well, not exactly… After last off-season’s shocking trade of Tomas Vokoun to Florida, the team, coaches and fans alike looked to backup...
