Bring Shanny back for one last hurrah!!! I think his leadership is priceless (even though we should only give him a $1 million dollar contract, don’t trade anyone in the event he gets hurt, and you need someone to fill in. You can never have too much character.

Question for you CBA gurus: Is there a limit to the number of times you can give player a 1 yr incentive laden contract whose excess cap amount can be carried over to the next season (i.e. like Shanny’s last year)? I thought I read last year that you could only do it once. Just wondering.
BTW those comments about youth & quickness going hand in hand…..is there anything quicker thatn Shanny’s release?!? Cna you say POWER PLAY SPECIALIST!

Brandon,

Were you implying that Shanny will captain this squad? I really don’t see that happening. I could be wrong but the fact that Drury and Gomer were brought here to take over, that Shanny, while leading this team as the great veteran he is, won’t be on the ice enough and let’s not forget is still officially not on this team.

I just can’t see him wearing the “C” after having been an afterthough addition to this squad.

I agree, this can’t make us any worse.

Shanny, cally, dawes, nas, orr, prucha, rissmiller, voros, zherdev, sjostrom. When shanny signs, these will be the wingers under nhl contracts. (you may add Fritsche into that group unless one of last years centers moves to wing)

Then theres… Moore, Korpi, Byers are all on the cusp of breaking in.

Thats 14 wingers in all (incl Fritsche) that either HAVE a spot, or have a CHANCE.

With only 8 wingers to dress, and another 1 or 2 in the stands (depending on cap situation, and injuries) and theres just not enough room for all of them.

Not a big mistake at all, if they brought back fleury or lindros that is a mistake. Nedved was on a good team back in’95 and Messier hated him soo they got rid of him.

Can people give Nedved a break. He was on some bad Ranger teams. He was the best player on team. Since Gretzky left. He probably wont make the team but I hope he has a good training camp anyway. Also big mistake bringing Shanny back. Enough said.
