No love for Isles, Oilers, Thrashers

The NHL now has three franchises that operate in free agent no-mans land. The Islanders, Atlanta and Edmonton simply cannot get players to sign unless absurd money is thrown at them, and in the case of Marian Hossa leaving approximately $90M on the table from the Oilers, not even then. Indeed, we're told the threat that had the most effect in Tampa's ownership's ultimately successful attempt to coerce Dan Boyle into waiving his no-trade clause four months after passing up free agency in order to attain it, was, "If you don't, we'll put you on waivers and you'll be playing in Atlanta."
