Huh! One-year deals for the Sisters. That's kind of surprising.

I wonder if Nonis (the GM) is tired of waiting for them to blossom and is giving thema last chance?

Or, more likley, they stand to become UFA's next year and are only willing to sign for a year.

The Flyers bought Leclair out, and I think the new CBA prevents him from signing with Philly.

That it does.

I recall you saying last season that they were finally start justify their draft position, or am I misremembering?
 

The last hockey season (03-04) the Sedin's were better then they had been previously. IMO They still have yet to live up to the hype. I thought maybe the Cunucks might not qualify them, allow them to leave and sign another big name free agent, ala Kariya or Niedrmayer. Of course, that was before every major name was signed.

Nope, you aren't misremembering. I thought that last season they actually looked like they were turning into credible hockey players (rather than the "youngsters with unlimited potential" that they had been snice we drafted them)

And strangely, they were turning into two very different types of player (which I found odd given that they are indentical twins)

Daniel was looking like a Sniping Goal scorer. he had a Four-Goal/2 Assist game int he middle of his best run last year.

Henrik was becoming a high-skill mucker, sort of aking to younger and more talented Amrtin Gelinas. Digging in corners, throwing hits and scoring goals semi-often.

I thought that if they continued to develop on pace with what we had seen that year, they would be an astonishing pair.

I guess we'll see what the year in Sweden did to them (by all accounts they were both great)
 


LOL! :) Well Glen looks like being in NY doesn't do much for you, no matter the cash incentives.

Not surprise Lindros went to Toronto. That's where he wanted to play BEFORE the whole trade with the former Nordiques/present Avs.
