Weber for Edler ... hockey trade

 

[Bizzle McDizzle]

If I had already made over a hundred million dollars in my career, I would think a Cup, location, and fit would be more important to me than two million bucks.

extremely easy to say from our viewpoint

for all we know, he hated half the team in Philly, hated the city, or really loves the city of Dallas, or is completely broke from gambling debts or bad investments, and yes 2 MILLION dollars can make a pretty big difference.
Do we know for a fact what Philly offered? (we may, I really don't know, serious question)
for all we know, Phillys plan for him next year were 3rd line, which made him mad.

It's just too simple to make it all about what WE think is the right thing for OTHERS to do without knowing jack squat about them, their situation, their family life, their finances, and what is the right thing for the player based on their own personal situation.

I just think we, as fans, are FAR to quick to judge things from our high-horse of fandom that we know absolutely nothing about, and project our views on others and how they should think, feel, and act.


my .02

I will never fault someone for chasing a extra 2MILLION dollars n what is most likely their last ever contract.
I damn sure wouldn't turn it down.

maybe I'm just a little too swayed by the notion of FREEDOM today, swept up in the day

Shea Weber's options post-Suter: 1) accept Q.O at $7.5 mil. 2) wait for offer sheet. 3) sign longterm with Preds. 4) push for trade

Weber for Edler ... hockey trade

have forwarded this to my Rep with the Canucks we have to make it so

i think its pretty simple to see what the likes of Jagr and Whitney are thinking just by taking their age/the fact theyve previously won cups/their real and rumoured financial losses

you look at the perspective of a different guy ... Shane Doan ... not a cup winner/financially successful away from hockey ... if there was one guy who might sign a contract for below perceived market value for a chance to win ... it's him

@SHEEHYHOCKEY Client Ryan Suter plans on making a decision today.

Rumour jumping about is Parise and Suter are going to sign together in either Detroit or Minnesota.

In my best Keanu Reeves voice: "Woah!"

Detroit makes much more sense if they want to win. Minnesota has a terrible defense and a terrible head coach.

They are also rumored to be requesting a jumbo suite with a single queen bed to share on the road and have been reported seen shopping for a quaint cottage on a lake to share, one perfect for Sunday morning mimosas on the porch and a place for an herb garden.

Steve Sullivan has agreed to a one-year deal with the Phoenix Coyotes

should have called DAllas

 

[jstewismybastardson]

it would be a big old punch in the minni wild fans nads if their hometown boy goes to detroit ... gotta be the wild if Mike Russo is to be believed

 

[sbb122]

Steve Sullivan has agreed to a 1 year deal with the Phoenix Coyotes.

/damn mattola you are quick

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

I think they end up on rival teams in the midwest. I am just sure where or with whom.

Meanwhile, Matt Carle is rubbing his hot little hands with glee thinking about what king sized offer is coming his way once Suter decides where he's going...

 

[jstewismybastardson]

lol i heard the Parise interview and he keeps saying "we ... we ... we" when talking about making this decision and was thinking the same thing as this tweet

Maybe Suter is his hockey fiance.

i want them to go to Detroit for our rivalry and great hockey. but Minnesota could use those stars and it would make the NW all the more interesting.
