You know, I saw this the other night and thought I was imagining things. But it looks like the Wings signed Stacy Roest (from the Wild) to a 1 year contract.

CANADA CAPTURES EIGHT NATIONS CUP
Sunday, August 18, 2002 PIESTANY, Slovakia - Chalk up another title for Canadian hockey.
Canada's under-18 team has won the Eight Nations hockey tourney for the sixth straight time.
Mike Richards of the Kitchener Rangers had a hat trick as Canada hammered the Czech Republic 5-1 in today's final.
Oshawa Generals forward Nathan Horton and Corey Perry of the London Knights also scored for Canada while Medicine Hat's Kevin Nastiuk made 31 saves for the victory.
Canada was perfect in the tournament, going 3-0 in the round robin before beating Russia then the Czech Republic in the playoffs.
Canada also swept the tournament's player awards -- Nastiuk was named top goalie, Shawn Belle of the Tri-City Americans was picked as best defenceman and Winnipeg native Nigel Dawes of the Kootenay Ice was chosen top forward. Dawes and Belle were among ten Western Hockey Leaguers on this year's club.

Report: NHL rejects Holik, Kasparaitis contracts
The league office is reportedly objecting to the signing-bonus covenants in the contracts.
(posted Aug. 19, 11:32PM EDT)
NEW YORK -- The NHL has rejected the contracts Bobby Holik and Darius Kasparaitis signed with the New York Rangers and the dispute is to go to an arbitrator, according to a report from the New York Post.
The newspaper said the move to reject the deals was made Aug. 7 and the NHL Players Association responded with a grievance 48 hours later.
Holik signed a five-year, $45-million deal that includes a $10.7-million signing bonus with about $2.7 million given out the first season and $2 million each following season for the duration of the contract.
Kasparaitis signed a six-year, $25.5-million deal with $6-million in signing bonuses with $1 million given out each season for the duration of the contract.
Holik, 31, scored 25 goals, added 29 assists and had 97 penalty minutes with New Jersey last season. The six-foot-four, 230-pound centre is a two-time NHL all-star and was a key member of New Jersey's 1995 and 2000 Stanley Cup championship teams.
Kasparaitis, 29, qualified for unrestricted free agency because he played 10 years in the NHL and earned less than the league average salary of $1.64 million last season. Kasparaitis made $1.15 million with Pittsburgh and Colorado last season while recording two goals, 14 assists and 142 penalty minutes in 80 games.
They of course neglect to mention that he screwed over Colorado and they didn't bother to fight to keep him 'cause he sucks (and I don't mean that in the romantic, noble defenceman/goaltender way).

Auuuggghhh! Not the *Hawks!* (from, as always, sportsnet.ca)
Fleury signs with Hawks
Reports earlier in the week had the feisty winger in talks with Toronto, Florida and Phoenix.
(posted Aug. 15, 11:31AM EDT)
CHICAGO -- The Chicago Blackhawks signed veteran winger Theo Fleury to a two-year, $8-million contract Thursday, beating out the Phoenix Coyotes for the unrestricted free agent's services.
(PS - Clearly I got my Mac up and running again after changing out to a newer, bigger hard drive. Yay!)

Oh puh-LEASE (from sportsnet.ca):
Theoren Fleury is one of the last big name free agents left unsigned this offseason
(posted Aug. 12, 8:00AM EDT)
PHOENIX -- Wayne Gretzky and the Phoenix Coyotes are interested in signing free agent Theo Fleury, the Arizona Republic reported.
Gretzky, the team's managing partner, met with Fleury and his agent over the weekend and discussed what it would take to get the winger into a Coyotes uniform.
“That's our intention and we'd love to see it happen,” Gretzky told the paper.
Guess the Corndogs aren't as afraid of him as the Sharks are...
