Knowingly walking right into an emotional punch to the nuts doesn't seem like an awesome choice to me...but god damn if I ain't a sucker for punishment. I'd go for option 2 but only under the hope that somehow someway this time the hand of fate doesn't ball up it's fist and go right for the giggle-berries.

Why are you concerned about that? I mean if that's you're concern than there's so many reasons to stop complaining. We aren't doing anything with the 750K that he's making over what he should be. A player like Burrows should be making just under 4 mil. Having said that we also got an extremely underpaid Burrows for a lot of years. You think those two things might have something to do with each other? If you're not worried about what he's doing on the ice and the "only" concern is his cap hit then you're just being nit picky because you need something to complain about.

Taylor Pyatt did the same thing. It was about the only thing he was good for on that line.

LOL Definition is certainly important. I would say my definition is maintained success. IIRC King actually wasn't successful with the twins. He was moved up to the second line with them after doing pretty good and then didn't do much of anything. I believe the best thing to come out of that trio was a good name for a line. I wouldn't call what Bertuzzi or Klatt were successful. Bert was a very good player and didn't see any real improvement. (some would argue it was an awful experiment really) The argument is that anyone can have success with the twins. My argument is that that is simply not true. By my definition 3 players have had real success with the twins. Arvedsen did look good with them and I would add him to the list. He looked legit with them.

This statement has been proven to be false so many times it's not even funny. The number of players successful on a line with the Sedins compared to the number of players who have played on a line with them is pretty low. Trent Klatt Jason King Anson Carter Markus Naslund Mikael Samuelsson Alex Burrows Taylor Pyatt Radim Vrbata Todd Bertuzzi Jannick Hansen Jon Bernier Mason Raymond Jan Bulis (Bold are the ones with any real success)

I want to know if at 11 this guy grows a new arm or has a horrible accident at a nuclear power plant and grows extra fingers.

C'mon wally. Don't be that guy.

What if that's not the important thing to him?

Given what else you've said here Heretic this comment makes no sense at all.

Remember what Sundin did for the Sedins? I do. Also Trevor Linden never won a cup so why would we want him helping to build the team. Right?

Wait... People are silly enough to question Ryan Millers Talent? Are you the same people who called Luongo a plug by chance? I don't really want Miller but wow.

This deal is much more fair than some people think. It doesn't exactly (or at all) address what Edmonton needs but it's seems like in Edmonton change is good, standings are secondary.

I'm not sure that's the actual reason in this case.

I think reality sees a problem with that kind of thinking. Sooner or later it sets in for all of us.

WTF bro. Spoilers.

Yeah but it's not one that means anything.

After seeing him play last season I haven't seen a good argument as to why they shouldn't. In a world where they got Matthias though he may be the easier option to no sign rather than trade someone else. If they buyout booth I don't see a reason not to bring him back.

With Mitchell it was because of injuries and they were career threatening. "We" tried to keep Ehrhoff he just wanted too much. He's showing now he's not really worth it.

Well at least the fans will still be able to bitch. Jesus christ the playoffs aren't even over yet.

This will be what most likely happens.

We're going to agree to disagree on most of this but Quinn will not be in the Hall of fame based on being the GM of the Canucks. He was a mediocre GM at best for this team and a quick look at the moves he made look oddly similar to some of the bumbles gillis made over the last 3 years.

Hope not. Quinn wasn't a much better GM than Gillis really.Hopefully "Trevor" lets Benning run things and do things his way rather than try to copy a formula that didn't work. Don't care where a players from, just what he can do.
