CanadianGuitarist 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2007 I don't see it as a "Gretzky" rule. Gretzky wasn't touched not because he was a star, but because he had a guy who would beat the tar out of anyone who dared hit him. The idea that the stars shouldn't be touched because they're stars isn't bad, but there should be more substance to it. I see this as leading to a discussion of how the instigator rule should be abolished. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
treble 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2007 The way for hockey to get more popular is to have its most popular players injured. I don't think special rules should apply to star players, but I don't think headhunting them is a good idea, either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianGuitarist 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2007 Their most marketable stars being injured would do wonders for the league. So when you said that the first time, you meant it sincerely? I thought you were being facetious....I don't follow how Crosby or Ovechkin or Anze or Nash getting clobbered is a good thing for the marketability of the league.

Guest Report post Posted July 11, 2007 Lubomir Visnovsky got a contract extension at 5.65 per year. Doesn't start until next year. Guy is getting paid 2 million this year, biggest bargain in the league at that price. He's better than Timonen and getting paid less. Very good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the max 0 Report post Posted July 12, 2007 Alexei Yashin, according to his agent Mark Gandler, is not happy with the contract offers he has received from NHL teams. That's my favorite part. You mean a guy who has been forced out of TWO franchises, one of which is willing to pay HIM 17 million to not play for them anymore is having a hard time getting serious offers? Really? The captain of the team who was BENCHED, demoted to the fourth line and had 0 points in the playoffs isn't getting anything he's happy with? Go shit in your hat, Alexei.

I don't think he's the biggest bargain in the league...Kevin Bieksa is getting paid 550k this year. Visnovsky being a legit #1 notwithstanding, Bieksa's still on his rookie contract. Not like he had a choice in the matter. Visnovsky's had that low money deal for a while. About the schedule, we only play within the division in November. That'll be fun.

With the Rangers about to sign Marcel Hossa and Avery I don't think they will have enough money to get him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
