NHL: Hasek returns?

[Seth]

Silly Hasek

If Detroit wants a 100 year old goalie back then let them. Hasek's been out of serious training for a year now and he isn't any younger.

Also, i'd hate to see what happens to his rep as a player if he isn't as good anymore. There's so much young goalie talent coming into the league.....He should just enjoy retirement or something. Look at Michael Jordan


Oh well, but Cujo's arguably just as good as Hasek, he just needs to get used to detroit.

there are older goalies then him.

he's not 100.... oh. that was a joke

its not detroit talkign him into it. it would be his decision to come back. and detroits contract still holds with him untill a certain point and he would become a free agent.

hasek actually has stayed in shape. he has been playing hockey. just not a goalie ;P

hasek is a better goalie then cujo. or was at least. detroit is VERY VERY VERY picky about goalies. and they'll give up and turn on a goalie in a second.
but your 'get used to detroit' line is kinda bleh. he had the same amount of time to get used to detroit as hasek did. (not saying he isnt used to detroit i like cujo detroit just ran into a wall in playoffs or i think his record woulda been better)

stats wise hasek is better tho.

detroit really liked haseks work ethic and attitude better then many of the goalies we've had. we got some great young goalies being stored away and playing in minors or other leagues.

Hasek is not conscerned about his rep. he left cuz he didnt have the desire to play. not because he won and wanted to leave on that note. And sometimes taking time off gets you that fire to play again.

really i dunno what i want. if detroit got hasek. i do like him as a goalie a little more. but he woudlnt be around long.

Cujo would be around longer. but not all that long either.

IF hasek went to detroit. and detroit wanted him.... Cujo would undoubtally wave his no trade clause, and leading teams to get him would prolly be Philly or NY Rangers.

i know Colorado is looking for a keep. and i thought i read Vancouver is keeping and eye out. But i'd have a tough time seeing detroit trade him to a Western power team. unless he really really pushed for it.


im fine with either keep. most likely it will be cujo and hasek wont come back. But as i said. we got some great young ones on the harizon so its all good

[Seth]

Unfortunately Vancouver's pay roll doesn't even remotely allow them to pick up a goalie like cujo. Colorado's backup goalie makes more than twice Cloutier's wage. Also, Brian Burke can be stubborn. IMO cloutier isn't the kind of goalie that can take you to a cup. But meh, i'd like to see cujo go back to the east.

Mesa don't want colorado to get cujo.

If hasek comes back it will be only for more money. I think he's stupid of doing this, because first you say you retire and now you wanna come back. and what about cujo. okay? he's not the best and he made mistakles in the playoffs, but what about his contract. Number 2 goalie? i don't think he'll fall for that. unless he wants the money he couldn't care less. but what hasek is doing coming back, for 12 m$ is wrong?

[Null]

hasek wouldnt be getting more money. he'd be getting the same as what he got before. also same as what Cujo is getting now.

[Dragon-Fly]

ya but what about cujo? who's gonna trade a good player for him. plus there's rumours, of rangers picking him up and trading dunham to Boston. Is that TRUE??????

[Null]

actually theres quite a few teams that would want cujo.

Cujo has said he will waive his no trade clause if he has a say in where he goes.


Wings have given him a list of possible places.

Rumors include Him going to Rangers for Lindros.

another Rumor has him going to Boston for Lapoint back.

there was even a very odd rumor about him for Jagr, which is BS, cuz washington doesnt need a goalie.


i could see him possibly going to Vancouver if they are looking for one. i still doubt he'd goto Colorado.
