Ottawa gets Sweatty

[puckhead]

Lee Sweatt signs w/ the Sens.

Thanks for this, Lee

by my count canucks are batting 5 for 15 in terms of re-signing their free agents

10 of the 39 guys who had time on the regular season roster wont be back ... lotsa turnover among the mostly fringe guys

Trimming of the fat or cutting off of the nose?

our core is intact.
the 4th line got victimized big-time in the finals (granted, they weren't alone in that regard).
I don't think anyone is shedding any tears for the guys who aren't back - except for Ehrhoff, but we couldn't match that bidding war.


Tambellini, Torres, Glass, Bolduc, Rypien, Joel Perreauly, Shirokov, ... if I'm missing anyone, they are of that same caliber.

Actually, there's a Sweatty Bill still in the Nucks organization (brother Sweatt)

which is why Im disappointed Lee is leaving ... Canucks could have led the league in most sets of brothers with 4 dammit!!!

edit/all the bruthas on the Jets dont count

Perhaps Ottawa should go after Semin now...

That could be a fun line.

I still say that somebody needs to combine the talents of Jarkko Ruutu, Jordin Tootoo, and Jonathan Cheechoo.

Ruutu - Tootoo - Cheechoo would drive Bob Cole crazy.

The Canucks added some toughness in Duco for Shirokov who signed with a team in the KHL. At least they might have solved one issue.

I always wanted to see Recchi, Ricci, Reekie and Richer out there together, especially if Craig Laughlin had to announce it.

LOL!!

I doubt he would have made an attempt.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

wtf ... he retired today to pursue business interests

 

[mattola]

that is strange. must be a good op for him

 

[puckhead]

so Billy Sweatt snubbed the Leafs last year, and Brother Lee snubbs the Sens now.
seems odd he'd sign and then change his mind though.
