Truth is we’ll never really know what actually went down in these negotiations between Sundin & Co. However we do know a few things:
1. Eklund (Hockeybuzz.com) is an idiot. He basicly brought rumor upon rumor of Sundin coming to NY. I now know not to believe anything he writes.
2. Sather got screwed by the huge contracts given to drury redden and rozsival(I like Gomez). Why would a 37 year old pull a favre only to play for pennies?
3. Sather tried trades to Columbus and Dallas to clear cap room. However, how could they deal their best offensive defenseman? One can argue that their problem is defense, but that is because their offense lacks persistency putting too much pressure on the defense.
4. Sundin will not win a cup this year. He picked the wrong conference to get there. At least in the east he would have a chance. SJ and Detroit are much better than Vancouver . It doesn’t help that luongo is not healthy this year.
Anyway, I hope this is not a chronic problem for Sather because Spezza, Gaborik, and Bowmeester are on the block.

Well it's about time non-canadiens fans realize that hockeybuzz/eklund is a fake...he just recycles or tells over rumours that other sources have already said and then he adds in 10-20 teams into the mix of certain players...and then if that player signs with one of those 20 teams he claims that he got it right...
ReplyDeleteYeah, everyone knows Eklund is full of it. It's a known fact. To hockey fans, at least. And now, you know.
