Russo also says that the Wild are at least still in talks with LW Stephane Veilleux, who is set to become a free agent tomorrow. After his key season last year, it would be a stupid move to let him go. We could use him on the fourth line still scoring 23 points (or more) a season. Hell, he scored as many goals as Gabby this season! (OK, that's not fair, I know!)
Speaking of Gaby, his agent, Ron Salcer, is saying that Fletcher hasn't talked to them for at least 10 days and that "talk" 10 day ago in no way resembled an offer. Now, Salcer's been known to spout out B.S. but this actually wouldn't surprise me. I think Fletcher wants to find someone a little more reliable than Gaby. He refuses to comment on the situation at all and I think if he was talking with him he'd say so. If he's looking elsewhere, I hope he picks someone who doesn't have a groin of glass.
Speaking of, if the Canucks do land Gabby like it sounds like they (and he) really want, I hope he gets injured and plays 13 games again. Not because I hate Gaby (I don't), because I hate the Canucks and would be pretty bitter about them taking away our OTHER Slovak sensation (see Demitra, 2008). The only thing that would soothe that would be if we lured the Sedin twins over here but that is a very slim possibility. They are almost sure to be a. resigned with 'Couver or b. packing their bags for Toronto. Plus, Boogaard would cry. I don't think he'd be too keen on playing with the "pinky and the brain twins." If you don't know what I'm talking about I suggest you look up some Boogaard quotes...
