I saw the Rangers offer. It was something like Dunbinsky, Del Zotto, Callahan and "sweetning". The Oilers is better.

I don't know if Hossa will choke in the playoffs either. He played good in the playoffs in Pittsburgh and was okay in the first 3 rounds.

Vancouver, B.C. - Vancouver Canucks General Manager Mike Gillis announced today that the Canucks have re-signed forwards Daniel and Henrik Sedin to identical five-year deals. In keeping with club policy, terms were not disclosed.

In 10 postseason contests he scored four goals, six assists (4-6-10) and had eight penalty minutes. Over the past five seasons he has missed only one of 410 NHL games. Daniel ranks 7th on the Canucks all-time scoring list with 462 points (179-283-462) in 642 career games, 10th all-time in playoff scoring with 28 points (9-19-28) in 53 games and 2nd in game winning goals with 36.

He also recorded 10 points in 10 playoff games (4-6-10) with two penalty minutes. The NHL named Henrik second star for the month of March after he recorded 19 points (7-12-19) in 14 games. Henrik ranks 8th all-time in club scoring with 460 points (109-351-460) in 646 career games and 9th all-time in playoff scoring with 30 points (14-16-30) in 53 postseason games.

The Chicago Blackhawks have signed right wing Marian Hossa (MAIR-ee-uhn, HOH-sa) to a 12-year contract and center Tomas Kopecky (TAW-mahsh, koh-PEHTS-kee) a two-year contract.

Following the regular season, he was named to the 2008-09 NHL Second All-Star Team. The Trencin, Slovakia native was originally drafted by the Ottawa Senators in the first round (12th overall) of the 1997 NHL Entry Draft.

He finished second on the team with 109 hits while posting career highs with six goals, 13 assists and 19 points in 79 regular season games. The Ilava, Slovakia native also dished out one assist in eight Stanley Cup games with Detroit last season. He has appeared in 183 regular season games with the Red Wings over the last four seasons notching 32 points (12G, 20A) and 113 penalty minutes.

“We are thrilled Mattias elected to sign with the Tampa Bay Lightning today,” said Lawton upon making the announcement. “With so many options in front of him, having him elect to play in Tampa demonstrates the faith he has in our team’s strategy and vision for success, which should be exciting for our fans. This signing accomplished two primary goals for us. First, we have added the top-two defenseman we coveted to lead our blue line and second, we have found a leader and a mentor for Victor Hedman as he prepares to play in the NHL this fall.”

Ohlund was also recognized by his team, earning the Canucks’ Most Outstanding Defenseman award in 2005-06 and 1999-00.

A native of Pitea, Sweden, Ohlund has played in 52 career playoff games, recording nine goals and 28 points. He is tied for 11th overall on the Vancouver all-time playoff points list.

Ohlund, 32, played in all 82 games for the Vancouver Canucks last season, recording six goals and 25 points.

This is even better then him going to Edmonton. Edmonton wasnt gonna be good anyway and now he goes to a top rival of the wings that already has a good team. sure they may challange the wings for the top spot, but he will choke come playoff time thus good for wings... And they're so nice to take one of our scrubs off our team in Kopecky. Thanks 'Hawks....

He doesn't choke in the playoffs if you think about it. Last year he performed excellently in the for the Penguins through all of the rounds. He only finished behind Sid in scoring. In Detroit, yes he did worse and didn't really contribute in the Cup Finals, but he was still a threat.
