Miko's like 7'5" and Saku's 4'10"!

lol..I'm fine with Saku leaving...never thought he was staying, i think he will def. end up with the Wild and I say good luck to him. He has been good for us and he gaves us good memories, no cup but good memories. I will always remember his first match after beating cancer...i get goosebumps when i think about the ovation.

Wow, very interesting signing. My initial thought was that the signing was way too much for him, but after looking at his stats, it's not bad. Obviously Burke is still taking a risk.

Season Team GP G A PTS +/- PIM PCT
2008 Toronto 78 20 28 48 -8 92 16.71
2007 Montreal 24 3 6 9 -4 8 13.0

It's a business. GMs can't let emotions get in the way of doing the "right" thing. Anyways, he had all season to sign some players, however he chose to wait. Now that the shoe is on the other foot...

Of course all this is speculation. Strictly based on Karine's question.

Karine's response which is based on what is reported on rds.ca lol...

which also reports that Bob wants to get another D-man and a supporting player so I really think its byebye Kovy...shame...
