Free Agency Begins

The money and lengths continue to be ridiculous. Certain general managers never seem to learn and don't be surprised if we end up with another work stoppage...I mean 12 years for a 30 year old Hossa and 7.5 million for Marian Gaborik who has not played a full season in six years.

That being said Roloson is a nice move for the Isles, he's a good locker room guy and he will challenge a healthy DiPietro or step right in if the franchise goalies' injury issues continue. Must say I had a nice grin on my face listening to Bill Watters on 640AM Toronto exclaiming that with the Isles signing of Roloson they are now a better team than the Leafs...don't know if I agree but it was certainly nice to hear...not that it says much.
