Here’s an article with that quote and much more to understand MG’s thought process right now.

After reading this my first thought was ‘should we put together a care package for Raycroft’s stay in Manitoba?’. My second thought was ’Mathieu Schneider is alive?".

If Chelios did come over for a season, play him for 20 meh regular season games(helloooo, Coyotes!), let him dazzle the youngin’s with his Stanley Cup bling then sit his old ass for the playoff unless disaster strikes.
We can pay him in Tapioca pudding.

I still get a kick out of Gillis saying he’ll make room for Sundin if he decides to play here again. That a hell of a lot of room to make! Not gonna happen.

What have I been saying…Raycroft will be Sanford’s backup in Winnipeg.

Are you being sarcastic? How does that link prove that Raycroft will play backup to Sanford? Schneider has a lot to prove in camp. Has he matured enough to play at the NHL level? Sure, he was a stud in the AHL playoffs, but the NHL is a whole knew story.

Any chance they trade for Kaberle or is that just totally out of the question due to salary?

I’d dump Demitra. Not sure why they signed Raycroft.

by Kovy27 on Jul 8, 2009 12:25 AM PDT reply actions

Kaberle has reportedly stated he wants to remain in the east. Since he has the conch in waiving his no trade clause, I’d say it’s safe to assume he stays in that conference.
He’d be a great addition though, no doubt.
