I actually don't know how this counts as a credible source, but apparently it does.

That's more like it.

It's credible. Twitter also confirmed that Straightman Stu is a weenie. That's pretty airtight stuff.

guess things broke off with Minni

at least it is not back to Montreal, good on Koivu for going to Anaheim.

that's alot of money though

No surprise, we had it on here weeks ago that he was going to sign there.

Is that where Eklund stole it from?

Long term deal off the table perhaps? Wanted to play with Selanne?

I thought he got his rumours from his dog and tennis balls.

No idea, I don't line his pockets anymore by going to that joke of a site.

You think? If it wasn't for Fisher's salary, I think I would prefer Koivu at that salary to the Kovy signing...then again, chances are slim we would've been able to get him for the same deal.

3.25 is alot for a player who's half the player he was in his prime. and his prime wasnt even that good.

he's a great person though, I'll say that much.

Pretty good numbers last year considering the injury.  Before the sens came along, Koivu was my favourite player so I guess I'm biased but I think 3.25 for a 2nd line center is pretty good.  Would have been anouther nice influence on Spezz....but such is life, we've got our own problems to deal with now...
