cujo said:That's right folks, you heard the Hatcher deal here first.
Booo... Hatcher wears panties. In a related story, so does Modano. And Beckham I guess.
Michael Griffiths said:AvsGirl, yeah, that's a good point. Upon thinking further, there is no way the Avs would trade Kariya or Selanne to Detroit or anyone else. They could perhaps trade Hejduk or Tanguay for Cujo (fulfilling needs for both teams), perhaps involving younger players too...but I agree: it would more likely end up being a 3 way deal with some other team.
AvsGirl41 said:I'd deal Reinprecht, but I think everyone knows he's not all he is hyped to be.

That already happened this morning in a threesome trade:
To Buffalo: Chris Drury, Steve Begin
To Calgary: Steve Reinprecht, Rhett Warrener
To Colorado: Buffalo's 1st Round Pick from 2002.
Why did you trade Drury Mr. Button? Even as a non-Flames fan I want to throw something at you.
Michael Griffiths said:Brian Burke is such a moron...well, not all the time, but this is one of the times he is. He's *so* full of sour grapes for not getting Kariya, so he called him disloyal, etc, for signing only a 1 year deal with Colorado after Anaheim paid him so handsomely for so many years, and treated him so well. Like Brian Burke wouldn't have signed Paul Kariya for 1.2 million???? And like Pierre Lacroix didn't jump at the same deal? Yeah, right. It's clearly a deal that makes sense for both parties. Burke is pissed cause he left a message for Paul 2 days ago, and Baizley (his agent) called back saying he was instructed to call Colorado...and the deal soon done. Want to see some disloyalty, Brian? Take a look at what you're doing with Trent Klatt.

Red Ships of Scalla-Festa said:am i the only one who thinks buffalo is starting to look like a much better team since last years trade deadline?

On a side note, it's amazing how many long-term deals have been made recently with the labor strike looming. Some teams like Detroit could be screwed... come 2004.
AvsGirl41 said:You know, I really liked Hasek, but this whole thing has made me lose alot of respect for him. You don't just come out of retirement a mere year later. It's just not right.
Am I the only one who thinks so?
kobayashi said:i disagree. he retired and then he changed his mind. what's wrong with that?
