From the talkback that just begun from the beatwriters in the Bay Area who cover the Sharks, the team can still get Drury if he signs a contract comparable to what Joe Thornton is earning now. Drury would be the only UFA they'd be able to sign if he is their main target. So, it's either make a big splash by signing Drury or sign several mid-tier players to shore up several areas on the team. _________________

Some flexibility is still important though, what if injuries force the Sharks to pick someone up at the deadline? You need a million in cap space for wiggle room at the very least, I'm not totally up to date on the cap situation for San Jose but I imagine it's reasonably high with the calibre of players they have, the only thing saving their ass really is the number of talented kids they've got on cap friendly entry level contracts or second contracts which typically aren't too high either. I think they would still have to drop one more player to really fit in Drury. It's the same with the Flyers, we could get Briere or Gomez right now but we would have so little room left or be dead up against the cap it wouldn't be worthwhile. We have to dump off the $2.1 million Gauthier contract or find a taker for Sanderson at $1.6 million. _________________

Well the Rangers picked up Drury and Gomez, that's pretty damn scary. Detroit got Rafalski as well so it looks like my team is going to suffer this season. _________________

Well, I was quite surprised to see this news headline from the San Jose Sharks site. Seems they have signed Jeremy Roenick to a one-year contract. Details as to the amount they signed him for still undisclosed. Here's to hoping they didn't give too much. I think just enough over the minimum would be something I'd say is a good deal for the Sharks. Hopefully, he'll be a toughening influence on some of the big wingers on the team. _________________

The San Jose Mercury listed it as $500,000. Being a Sharks fan, I think this is a good deal, so long as he only gets 3rd line playing time.

That's pretty cheap considering some of the amount the still unsigned UFA's are still asking for. I'd be happy if he scores 20 points throughout the year. _________________

He needs 5 goals to 500, I want JR to get it because I always enjoyed him as a Flyer if he's ready to accept he's not the go to guy and suck it up with low minutes and still bring that win at all costs attitude then the sharks have a nice signing. He's obviously more brittle than he used to be and his point totals won't be that big but he's got a fire to him that's hard to top, you'll at least enjoy the interviews so that's worth the league minimum salary on it's own. I wish him all the best. _________________
