We're only a few minutes away from the opening of free agency, but we've already seen some big deals take place. Henrik and Daniel Sedin have re-upped with Vancouver for five years at annual $6.1 million. Jay Bouwmeester agreed with Calgary to a five-year, $33.4 million contract. The Canadiens picked up Scott Gomez in a salary dump from the Rangers.

The Bruins aren't expected to make much noise today, but we'll post any news here and have a recap from Peter Chiarelli on the events this evening.

Thanks Fluto
Whats up with the Sedins? Do they have similar value apart? I was thinking them seprating would come eventually. 6 mil per a bro is pricey...

Sounds like a high price to pay for the Sedins...I would say 5 mil or so each would be fair.

The Sedins are worth every penny.

Would you rather have Henrik at 6.1 a year, or Savard at 5 a year?

Tean 990 in Mtl saying the Bruins (Habs and Canucks) were given permission to speak with Hossa

The Sedin's won't separate...they are a package deal.....At their best they could give you about 150-180 points a year combined...pretty good!

Hossa is going to Montreal.....bet on it. He'll put his Stanley Cup pursuit on hold for a few years
