Ouch, more 4th liners eh. | I'd rather bank my hopes with a 37 year old PPG player than a bunch of 4th line plugs...

Stinkin' Leafs just signed Niklas Hagman
And Holik's back to 2.5mil/1 year. Still too much for him if you ask me.

Ouch, more 4th liners eh. | well considering he's averaged a PPG his entire career, including recently, I don't see how his age is a problem when its only a 2 year deal. It's not like there is a whole lot else the Nucks can do to shore up the offense, and that is what Sundin is. Guaranteed offense.

Gillis is aiming for the 1st pick in next year's draft (and perhaps the year after that and the year after that)...

Was watching the video on tsn.ca titled "Money Talks". It's a pretty good watch as you listen to Pierre rip apart all the GM's in the league for giving players ridiculous amounts of money, and how they should learn from Ken Holland and the DET staff. Pretty true and funny. I really hope we don't get Sundin for 20 mill because that's just ludacris. Mayb 6 mill a year or 7 at most.

Detroit actually SITS DOWN AND PLANS OUT the direction they want their team to go in, instead of getting random players.
Detroit functions as a SQAUD, other gms are just looking for a top player to be a band aid

Good pick up for Maple Leafs. | Um...until 07/08, Hagman hadn't scored 30 or more points in a single season in his career. Yea, that's a guy worth $3 million. |

Vancouver's always been such a lame duck, never make any splashes with signings... we've made arguably a couple of the best and worst trades ever in the history of the league but signings wise? Nada.
I hope Gillis didn't spend all his time on the phone bartering with HOSSA and in doing so let all these other role player type guys slip through his fingers... that would suck even more than signing Hossa for huge money long-term (he's not worth it, he's not a winner no matter how skilled he is).
