Guest Low Roller Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Something is fucked up when Jeff "Giving you the" Finger gets a better deal with the Leafs than Kostitsyn gets with the Habs.This must be the case of an agent bullying senior citizen Cliff Fletcher into a lucrative contract for his client. Thank God Bob Gainey is still on the ball, and is surrounded by great assistants in Pierre Gauthier and Julien Brisebois, not to mention Trevor Timmons, player development guru.So are we adding Mats Sundin to the list of Brenden Shanahan and Daniel Briere yet?

Booche Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 So are we adding Mats Sundin to the list of Brenden Shanahan and Daniel Briere yet? Dont be fucking stupid. None of them should be judged for making an executive decision. You put yourself in their shoes my friend.......but "Boo" them if it is going to take them off their game.Plus Sundin hasnt signed anywhere yet.The fuckingcocksucker.

Guest Low Roller Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Isn't the list of Brenden Shanahan and Daniel Briere exactly that- Players who have made an "executive decision".I didn't call the list "greedy fuckers" or "people with smaller penises than Bob Gainey", in which case you can file grievance against my post for obvious slander.And don't kid yourself, Sundin is on that list.

peipunk Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 I was gonna say I didn't think Streit was a 4 million dollar man....as much as I do like him. But it seems like maybe thats the going rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badams Posted July 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 [color:blue]Free agent forward Mats Sundin has thanked teams which have shown interest in him but says he's not ready to make a decision on his playing future right now.The 37-year old released the following statement on Wednesday:"I would like to thank all the teams who have expressed such sincere interest in my services."The numerous options provided to me were impressive and I have no doubt that each one presented a unique opportunity for me to finish my career in a terrific hockey environment."I spent a great deal of time yesterday reflecting upon the teams who stepped forward and the opportunities that each provided."Unfortunately, I am simply not close to being ready to make a decision about resuming my career at this time."I wish all the teams the very best and thank them for their interest."I have always respected Sundin and the loyalty he has shown to the Leafs however I am beginning to think he is not the player the Habs need. Sure it would still be nice to sign him but I don't think I will be as excited about it as I once was.I can't figure this guy out...Does he want to win? Does he want money?Does he want to retire?I know it's a tough decision for him but he should have been thinking of this months ago. I think he has an abundance of talent but lacks the fire. Maybe I am just tired of hearing all the rumors and a little disappointed the Habs haven't landed anyone yet. Maybe I am pissed that Hossa went to Det or maybe I am just hungover...It's just at this point I figure Sundin can just stay home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanada Kev Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 I truly don't think that Sundin is going to lift any team to the Cup next year. It will be interesting to see how he fits into the lineup somewhere else, but I just don't see him being the inspiration/leader that will get a team there (unlike Bourque).I'm guessing that Sundin will be in a Rangers sweater next season, if he plays at all. In the meantime, Detroit will once again be a monster, and who knows what Tampa will do, but they could be a force to be reckoned with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Low Roller Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Our prospect pool is deep enough, and besides, I predicted this move earlier this week.Greg Pateryn is only 18, yet he's already 6'2" and 212 pounds. Another D prospect developing in the NCAA.I wonder if this trade is part of the rights to Sundin deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Low Roller Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 From Danis to Denis.RDS called it a couple of weeks ago. The Islanders signed UFA Yann Danis yesterday, so today the Habs signed Marc Denis to a two-way one year deal. So the Habs have added FOUR french-canadians to their roster: Tanguay, Laracque, Denis, and Desjardins (well sure, only two will actually play in the NHL). I hope that shut that french fucker Rejean Tremblay from La Presse up now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that him again who complained after the draft that they didnt take any french-canadians even though they traded for Tanguay?Whoever he was sure showed his idiocy.
