You know what, I personally don't think he is all that he is cracked up to be. I would not pay more than 5 mil for him. He looked not all that great to me in the playoffs. If he came here and was paid 5mil, I would not be upset at all.

you're right, he's under contract until 2011.

but i think i'm being misunderstanded here.

what i was describing is the Yotes prospect depth chart (exception for Doan). of course there will be some veteran in the line-up, I can't agree more with that.

Food for thought: What is your opinion on Maloney trying to use Hossa as a carrot to lure his brother over (ala Burke and the Neidermeyer bros)? Just curious and would love to hear your thoughts.

I'm going from memory here and not double-checking for lack of time, but I believe Jovo signed a 6 or 7 year contract only a couple years ago. Also has a no trade clause. He'll probably be around for some time.

Big time Yotes fan here. Used to have season tickets until I moved away - only thing I miss in the desert is the Yotes.

By the way, do you have a source on the Wheeler UFA comment? I hadn't heard this and I will be truly disappointed if its true. Sorry to have to ask for a source, but until I get to you know your work better, I like to have soemthing to fall back on. Thanks.

If Montoya is ready to take over, Bryz will be traded at the deadline the last year of his contract for playoff rental (veteran d-man for exemple). Bryz will be 32 when his contract ends and I expect him to return to Russia and play for the KHL. Bryz is not the goalie of the future for the Yotes. Montoya is. This year, Bryz will be number 1 and Montoya will play 15-20 games. Next year, they will split 50-50. and the year after, Montoya should be ready to take over.

quote myself : *so in couple of years :* .......

couple of years meaning 2-3 years, when all their contracts will be expired

Lots of Yotes fans on here. Just tired of all the watered down Leaf stuff.
