I would prefer that he went neither way. Save our prospects and run with what we have. Gonna be a labour disruption anyway, so we might as well wait it out. Thanks Weber, Suter, Parise!!

I'd rather he said, "I quit", then we could tank this season in peace!

Burke is a stubborn (frank), he built our farm team (beauty) he gave us some hope (thanks) but now we need a shark like Holmgren that is willing to put everything on the line... cap circumvention contracts, offer sheets and selling babies on the black market to ice a winning team...

Long term thats gunna kill them and you know that, if I was a Philly fan i woulda been pissed to see Carter and Richards holding the cup.... But ya I agree that having a GM like Homer would be entertaining

Bryzgalov will be the great equalizer, he'll kill them in the playoffs. Many years of Philly frustration, until that contract is gone.

At the end of the day, it's all about winning...not making friends and looking like the good guy.

Totally agree.

All of these teams signing players to long contracts will severly regret them in about 5-6 years. At that point there will be many teams trying to trade bloated contracts (ala Lu) but no one will bite...

Good Ol' NHL... Gary will go down in history...

Thank the owners. Can't blame players for taking more money.

Hmmm let me think about that.....

You don't need him!

I want Rielly to play at the world juniors so bad, it has been a while since we had a player on Canada to root extra hard for.

He will. It's highly doubtful a guy that missed so much time will be in the NHL next year, he still needs some work on his game. Kadri on Canada wasn't really as fun since he played the role of citizen douchebag

I really hope team canada goes young this year. (frank) the need to invite past invitees, loyalty means poop (frank) all.

Tell us how you really feel.

Come on, we've lost too much with too many stars. No other nation provides so many top picks or such continuous top end talent, but they handcuff themselves by needing to give spots to former invitees. Bronze is pretty mediocre for them.
