According to TSN, the Canucks have offered Mats Sundin a two-year, $20-million contract.
That is seriously crazy!

I wonder why the Rangers didn't re-sign him - I thought they liked him out there.
I know he was popular with the fans.
So glad he's no longer in the East
IMO the Caps took a step back replacing Huet with Theodore. Huet looked good for them and seemed like a guy they could build a winner in front of...Theodore is just an average goaltender and not championship calibre. Bad day for the Caps.
What the Habs need is a real punisher on the blueline. Laraque up front is a start but if they could somehow add a real rock on D (think Scott Stevens in his prime) that would put them in a very nice position. I don't think there's a guy like that available though.
I think they have that—or at least someone that will grow into that role. His name is Mike Komisarek, future captain of the Canadiens.
CTU2fan, what did you think of the Umberger deal?
Have the Leafs made any new acquisitions at all or are they simply satisfied with all the success they've had with the current team?
NHL awards Winter Classic to Chicago
TSN.ca Staff
The NHL has awarded the 2009 Winter Classic to the Chicago Blackhawks, who will play host to the Detroit Red Wings on January 1, 2009 at Wrigley Field.
Wrigley Field was chosen over early favourite Yankee Stadium.
"We expect interest to be on an international level for this once-in-a-lifetime event," Blackhawks chairman Rocky Wirtz said.
Last season's Winter Classic between the Penguins and Sabres on January 1st drew an NHL record 71, 217 fans to Ralph Wilson Stadium in Buffalo.
"The NHL is delighted to bring its most historic rivalry to one of the most historic venues in sports," NHL commissioner Gary Bettman stated.
The meeting between the two clubs will be the 701st all time. No NHL opponents has played more regular season games against each other.
The Red Wings are also looking forward to being a part of history, even if they are not the hosts.
"We've been a candidate to play in this for a long time and everybody in our organization is excited about being a part of what is becoming an annual outdoor classic," Red Wings general manager Ken Holland said.
"It's a tremendous opportunity to promote our game, our league and our team and have a once-in-a-lifetime experience at the same time."
The Islanders have fired Coach Ted Nolan. No replacement has been named. I liked Nolan. Hopefully, he'll get a chance somewhere else.
The Islanders just announced Nolan's replacement. Scott Gordon, former AHL Coach of the Year, has been named as his successor. This is his first NHL coaching gig.
Maybe they'll get right this time.
did they sign him to a 15 yr contract?
Come on, he's not a goalie.
I remember when I used to be proud to root for the Isles. That was looooong ago.
Bossy.
NSW, do you agree that sports is cyclical by nature? Don't fret, the Isles will have their day in the sun in future, as will most teams (except for those perennial losers, the Maple Leafs) who are currently experiencing some trying times.
Take the Blackhawks for one. I predict good things for them soon, although they will never be as good as the Wolves.
Will you be attending the Winter Classic at Wrigley?
Good for you. Quite a year for you sports-wise, eh? Final Yankees homestand at Yankee Stadium, All-Star game, and outdoor hockey game at Wrigley.
