6+ million for a dude to grab a broom, chase a piece of rubber and put on shoes with knives at the bottom.

leight, but baseball players make a lot more to grab a stick, hit a ball, and run in a circle.

Basketball players make more to jog back and forth and place a ball into a ring.

Football players make more to play keep away and fall all over each other.

Not unless it's a broken ankle. And apparently it was due to an altercation with a teammate. Imagine if that happened here!

Kesler hasn't played very well overall the last couple/few seasons. It's not just a decline in production, the two way game hasn't been as good. He's almost 30 now, and he's got some miles on him and a few injuries.

He should be fine for a couple more seasons, but it's not as if he's a top second line center anymore. He won't be a 1-2 punch with Getzlaff like Boston has in Krejci & Bergeron, or Dallas in Seguin & Spezza.

I'm not disagreeing with you but taking over Koivu's role should be easier on Kesler then let's say asking Heatley to replace Selanne or Ryan's role. I like Koivu but he hasn't been that great since being cut lose from Montreal.

Sure, but it's not as if he's a huge upgrade. Koivu played well for the Ducks, Kesler is still decent, but he's not a guy who I'd want to be paying $5mm to.

I'd be surprised if Heatley does a lot. He looked uninterested last season and seemed unfazed when he was a playoff passenger. Maybe being forced to play for a small contract will fire him up, but not sold he will do much. 20 goals is possible, but his overall game is bad

Nice, though I have been hearing rumors that Disney plans on re-releasing the original trilogy in its original form. Lets hope so.

Besides the ones you mentioned, I'm looking forward to the last ride of the old guard in San Jose, the inevitable collapse of the Maple Leafs, and Tampa Bay with all its new pieces.

Oh god, try living in an area with Toronto Maple Leafs die hards. Three years ago I worked with a kid who I actually got along with very well up until we had a simple disagreement over Dion Phaneuf. He hated Phaneuf, wants him traded, he's a pylon, Cody Franson is better. I was willing to listen until the Franson comments. So I mentioned that I'm sure the Flyers would take him and make him a star again (just after the Pronger injury). Kid still gets offended and starts arguing to know end, which I wasn't aware it was that big a deal.

Long story short. We went 1-2 against the Leafs last season. He has me blocked on Facebook. Every time the Leafs beat us, this punk sends me trash talks after the game and then blocks me quickly so I can't respond.

Who knows, being on a line with Getzlaf and Perry may light a fire under his drunken butt.

I'm not even a Kesler fan.

Heatley I felt was still a decent player still when he was traded to the Wild. His stats wouldn't suggest it during his last season with the Sharks but not only terrible, just not matching was his contract would suggest. Problem to me there was Heatley wasn't seeing time with Thornton anymore during that last season. Spezza is a work class passer too. I personally am not a Mikko Koivu guy. Maybe Getzlaf can help.

Can I do that? He has me blocked, he only unblocks me long enough to send me the trash talk.

I recall some time ago Lucas claimed they couldn't release the theatrical cuts because the original masters were so worn from all the edits and rereleases. Wouldn't he look awful silly if Disney did just that!

Heatley-Getzlaf-Perry should be a very talented and formidable line.

In fact I'm jealous that we could'nt sign him to a 1 year, 1 mill deal ourselves. That would be a great LW for Giroux.

George Lucas is awful. He destroyed my childhood, with his stupid edits and dialogue changes. Screw that greedy bastard.

Heatley just seems completely disinterested at times, no idea if he's just coasting on his fat salary or if the injuries took their toll.
