Here's the stunning part: this was all Kariya & Selanne's idea! They're former teammates, buddies, & represented by the same agent. Since they were both FAs, they got together & basically pointed at where they wanted to go to have a shot at the Cup next year. Their agent called the Avs GM & said they'd both take cuts to get one-yr deals. That's just freaking ridiculous.

The Avs are going to be FAR better this year than last, provided they can find a goalie. Of course they're going to have serious issues next summer when basically their entire team becomes FAs, but still, they look absolutely incredible now. The West is going to be tough next year, but I have faith. The Stars will prevail. [img]i/expressions/sun.gif[/img]
