"Word is that the Bruins may be preparing to offer Hossa a seven year MAX contract of 11.3 per for 7.."
WOW.... And they also say that demitra wont make a move yet, until hossa and campbell are off the market. I guess if they are off the market, his Stock goes up, cash in more $$$

We gotta sign them all soon enough. and HOSSA for 6+ years at a crazy salary would make us lose some of our talent pool...
Sundin is a pretty logical move. but the $ is a bit ridiculous, however the 2 year term, is good.

So the Sundin deal is actually $5 million per year with a $5 million signing bonus for each year. Regardless it's still $10 mill per year we're paying him. Sigh

God, why the hell do we need Sundin for? Sure he scored a few goals last season but the man is past his prime and not worth taking a risk for the money he's asking for.

uhh no, he was still pretty awesome last season. Sundin's always on his prime. The only question is his heart right now

definitely. i don't think sundin is anywhere near washed up. he's been carrying the leafs on his back for his entire career and hasn't really shown any wear yet.
