The 2007/08 National Hockey League and general hockey thread
OK then, we need this now, because NHL Free Agency starts on 1/7, and it'll be big, because the salary cap is going up to around $44m, and there's some big names out there. So, without much spouting, here's the important stuff
I can add to this whenever, links for all sorts, but I've forgotten what I want in here. And this season, we can use this thread for all sorts of hockey talk, UK hockey is fairly popular here, but any league you wanna talk about, here's fine.
Right, go!

Elias won't sign, I think, because he's looking for someone to pay him $8.8m a season.
Justin Williams signs in Carolina, 17.5 million 5 year deal
Both Sedin twins re-upped in Vancouver, Shanahan will test FA market, Skrastins and Clark sign in Colorado so Blake may be away, Florida are preparing a package including Bouwmeester for Pronger.

He'll sign for less if we get Havlat, apparently, as he wants to play with him. Or we could tell Paddy we'll get him as a UFA next year
