The irony in that guy's idiotic statement is that you were in fact comparing Coho to Gretzky when you said that if the greatest player of all time can be traded then certainly a lesser player can be traded. Of course this is an accurate statement. |

Off-topic, but here's an interesting article about the Semin signing. Thought I'd share it...
‘Heartless’ Semin Signed One-Year Contract Because He Was Too Lazy to Sign Multi-Year, GM’s Say
NHL general managers around the league have claimed that enigmatic yet talented winger Alexander Semin signed a one-year contract because he was too lazy to sign longer and not because there is a prejudice against Russian players.
“I offered him a 6-year deal,” said Hurricanes GM Jim Rutherford. “But the one-year contract was shorter and easier to read. So he signed that one. That’s what lazy players with no heart do.”
An investigation by Real Hockey News set out to find out why Semin, a player who has scored 408 points in 459 games while maintaining a +65, was only given a one-year contract while players with less impressive stats, such as Zach Parise (502 gp, 410 pts, +57) and Jordan Staal (431 gp, 248 pts, +53), who were each given extremely lucrative, long-term contracts. Parise signed a 13-year, $90 million with the Minnesota Wild and Staal signed a 10-year, $60 million with the Carolina Hurricanes.
Many commentators and fans suspected that the favorable attention on Parise and Staal was due to longstanding prejudiced amongst many of the NHL’s mostly Canadian brass, especially after TSN analysts Pierre McGuire and Marc Crawford obliterated the character of Semin on live TV, calling him everything from “lazy” and “heartless” to “the kind of guy who would kick you in the knee and poop in your mom’s corn flakes.”
However, an interview with several GM’s around the league who claimed to have made multi-year offers to Semin reveals that the one-year contract Semin signed was not a result of widespread prejudice, but because Semin just did not care, really.
“We thought he would be a good fit with Sidney Crosby,” Pittsburgh Penguins GM Ray Shero said. “So I considered giving him 5 years at $6 million. More than fair for a guy who doesn’t have heart and is a known cancer in the locker room. But he would just fall asleep during the talks. I’d try to wake him but he would just drool all over himself.”
When asked to elaborate on what Shero meant by Semin not having a heart and being a “cancer in the locker room,” Shero shrugged. “I don’t know. That’s what I heard.”
Columbus Blue Jackets GM, Scott Howson, had a similar story about Semin.
“Look, we barely have a team anymore,” Howson said. “So I needed somebody. Anybody. But I would call Semin’s agent and offer him a great, multi-year contract and you know what his agent would call me back with? He’d say Semin doesn’t feel like looking at a map to see where Columbus is, so he’s not interested. You believe that?”
Buffalo Sabres GM Darcy Regier said he would have liked to make a long-term offer to Semin, but was not able to start negotiations.
“I thought I had his number around here somewhere,” Regier said as he shuffled through post-it notes and graham crackers on his desk. “Where did I put that darn thing?”

CTV is only worth it for the Olympics. And you can get CTV with a rooftop or even an attic antenna if you are north of the city of Buffalo. The same goes for CBC. You can even get them in HD (which Time Warner does not provide). Google CBC HD Buffalo and you'll get an education. |

I'm not impressed by him. All his comments aside, he was a dud in both the 2011 and 2012 World Juniors. |
