A lot of guys are.

5 or 6 teams could though.

He's getting paid. The difference would be the immortality factor.

well, ya. Half the city lost their jobs and moved way 5-6 years ago... Tends to have that effect

good morning fellas

I didn't think Ryan would sign in Ottawa, mostly because I did not think Melnyk would agree to that.

They have the smallest budget in the NHL, so they're really building around Bobby Ryan now.

yes burn i'm sure you're reading the Detroit Free Press every day and watching the daily local sports reports. i'm sure there's been no flare up of the discussion because they just played the Leafs and will play them again tomorrow. sorry burn, but this just isn't the story everywhere else that it is in Toronto.

OK. If you say so..... Babcock said he wished he didn't get asked that question everyday, but hey DD said it's not a story in detroit. Sure thing.

This is not true. It's a huge story in Detroit and it'll grow all season.

Getting paid couple mil more than anyone would pay tends to do that.

Morning fellas, how is everyone today ?

Can't make fun of that. Good value and good on the Senators for locking up a player.
