Yes, I saw it. I would like to think that "founding fathers of the NHL" would have been the first clue. Like he would ever say that. Or have someone say that for him.

Thanks man.

Per Eklund (so take it however you take stuff from Eklund):

"The Predators David Poile has been mentioned a ton today with the rumor that Suter is off the market and that the Preds are focused buyers and not sellers......."

In GM/Eklund speak, this can only mean one thing: Suter will be in orange and black before the 'Peg game

Actually it's 3. JSaq, MOAT and Gretzky.
