Defensemen Swapping Jerseys 1

For the first day's free agency every one of the big name defensemen have been on the move. I think Pittsburgh made the right deals for the day landing Paul Martin and Zbynek Michalek. Both exceptionally proficient at helping maintain your puck out of your net and must turn into a good mix in the already offensively talented defensemen in Pittsburgh in Kris Letang, and Alex Goligoski. Leaving Pittsburgh is Sergei Gonchar who signed considering the Ottawa Senators along with the amount of money and contract length Pittsburgh didn't would like to provide him. These signings has to be putting the Penguins back number one the eastern conference.The Philadelphia Flyers have the right top five defensemen inside NHL by resigning restricted free agent Braydon Coubourn and trading their 2012 second-round draft pick to Tampa Bay Lightning for Andrej Meszaros. Which potentially shows the Flyers the best quality defense corps in the league. Comprising towards the damage to Paul Martin the modern Jersey Devils signed Anton Volchenkov to a six-year deal, Which I think has been a superb signing to fill the void left by Martin. The Buffalo Sabres signed Jordan Leopold after they lost Toni Lydman in the Anahiem Ducks although the Vancouver Canucks I feel made probably the greatest deals at the time with the addition of Dan Hamhuis and was able to ask him to use a home town discount. While using recent transactions made by the Canucks these are becoming a serious contender go for lots of the teams in the West, along with perhaps be described as a Stanley Cup Contender.
