I like hard working guys...and that video on YouTube shows he's good for getting the crowd fired up. Not a bad signing. Affordable and better than some of the 4th liners we have now.

It wasn't an outrageous offer like Kevin Lowe's absurd $4.5m for Penner or $10m (although actually 7.something per season) for Thomas Vanek.

Checked out some of the new rumors:
- Habs looking at Bertuzzi - if HOSSA deal fails.
- Sanford supposedly signed a 1 year deal with Vancouver.
- Avery is entertaining offers from Vancouver and Calgary. [would be a disaster if he goes to Cgy.. Elisha + phaneuff]
- Naslund is close to re-signing, with Vancouver.
Looks like a lot of clubs are holding out for hossa, but have back up
players as a fall back. I hate how the GM's are putting all their eggs
in 1 basket, while quality role players that COULD lead or help a team
win, are being signed, and signed cheap.

I hope we did sign Sanford, I never understood why it seemed to be assumed he wasn't coming back. He's a good backup.

I am just glad he didnt sign with Oilers or any teams that is in our division.
But Red Wings, in same conference as we are, we have to go thru them.

Hossa signed 1 year deal for 7.4 mil with Detroit, thats just scary. i think this gives the Canucks more competition for Sundin now

Atleast i think so.
Thats probally why he chose to go to detroit.
PLUS+ its a 1 year deal, if he lights it up,
watch his contract offers go up next year, cause the cap goes up
Which possibly means more $ for that mofo.
I think Van has the highest offer for sundin.
Montreal has a 2 year 8mil per offer out there.
and alot of other teams are trying hard to get him now...
If he declines 10 mil, takes a lesser pay roll for a different team...
That would be a BITCH SLAP to us
