Bruins Goaltender Tim Thomas to Take a Year Off

38 year old all-star goaltender of the Boston Bruins will be taking the 2012-2013 season off. His contract expires at the end of that year. It looks like he is planning on either retiring, or playing for another team. With this, there have been speculations about who the starting goaltender will be for next year. Biggest bet's on Tuukka Rask who won the Jennings trophy a couple of years ago. Khudobin will most likely be the backup goalie unless they sign a free agent and Campbell is probably going to be the emergency call up.

NHL Award Winners

Teemu Selanne Returning?

There are many reports in the main stream media that are confirming the same thing. The 42 year old is back. He scored an amazing 29 goals last season. In his career, he has scored a staggering 633 goals. This is surely a treat to all hockey fans young and old, as they all have something to cheer about together.

Josh Harding Re-Signs

Josh Harding has re-signed with the Minnesota Wild in a 3 year $5.7M contract. The goalie was predicted to be one of the most sought after players in Free Agency if he was to land there. The contract is expected to be worth $1.9M per year.

Erik Karlsson Re-Signs

Senators Star D-Man Erik Karlsson has re-signed with the Ottawa Senators. It will be a 7 Year $45.5 Million Dollar contract. It evens out to approximately $6.5M a year. The Norris finalist lead defenceman in points with 78. Personally, I believe this is a pivotal part of the future and a big worry about making sure he was signed now, was GM Bryan Murray seeing the ugly situation between the LA Kings and Drew Doughty last year.
