Although I'd love to see *that* top line, you can't put Yashin on a line with Alfie. It would be heart and anti-heart, like matter and anti-matter. A big explosion and the world of a clean up.

Also, he would not go for $2.5M and I would never want to give it to him.

Heh i didn't think about that, there is probably still some bad blood between Yashin and Alfie. I do remember in game 4 of the first series against Buffalo that had Alfie setting up Yashin for an OT goal, but that was long ago.

Im just desperate for a 60 point guy, i believe Yashin could do that. I don't think it would happen, but it would be a nice story

and just when i was gonna paint spezza above number 19... so would it be yashin #9?
heck, i still wear that jersey but if he'd come back i think i'll buy a ruttuu jersey and retire the yashin one for good.

Nice?

I wonder if he'd survive the first drive to the rink.
I'm sure there are more than a few fans that would be quite ready to run him off the road...he certainly did his best to piss off a few people while he was here.

Currently, adding Yashin to the Sens roster would not only be laughable, it would be down right pathetic. I realize the idea is to win now, but there is no shot the Sens can win now with the current roster.

Yashin would be a good 2nd, 3rd line center for a contending team looking for a cheap peice. In Ottawa I dont think there could be a worse fit.

To add poison into the water like Yashin, is to take the train off the tracks and put us back even farther. As it is, we'd be lucky to get to the ECF by 10/11 - probably more like 11/12 - and that's without adding a disgusting little bastard like Alexei Yashin.

Thats just it with Yashin. I think all the contract disputes had more to do with his agent than Yashin himself. My girlfriend of the time's friend lived next to him,and he really was a very nice guy. Carol Alt on the other hand . . .

All in all i doubt it will happen for a variety of reasons, it would just be nice to add a second line centre without having to subtract from the current roster or prospect pool.

There's a reason the Islanders spent 18 million dollars to be rid of him. He's a total and complete arsehole in every sense of the word. The definition of a 'me first' player.
