The other part of that deal that stinks is that you are getting Morrison back. Here's a mind blower for you. Centres are a dime a dozen. You could have Cullen for free.

Morrison is 3-7-8 and 3
Cullen is 7-4-2 and 5

I had Cullen and dropped him, and I plan on dropping Morrison as well.

Take away the pm, and you are getting nothing back for Vinnie.

Why you think Cujo is such a catch that you should give up a player who is going to end up top 10 in points is beyond me.

Because I want a solid goaltender, and Cujo has been solid.

He's also old and fragile, playing in the position that should better be named 'target'.

What'll you give me for Hasek?

So are half the men on your team?

Nothing; Phoenix is a defensive team and Ottawa is an offensive team. Cujo > Hasek in this regard.

ROFLMAO!

You have a goalie from a defensive team already.

I don't understand your point. Goalies are more valuable when their defense limits the amount of SOG. Phoenix usually has a low SOG count, and I prefer having good goalies on teams that keep SOG low. They tend to be low scoring game, which is good for goalie stats.

That's why Kipper is a catch.

Pheonix has had a kind stretch. They are 27.7 sh. ag.

Edmonton is 29.5 after a horrible stretch.

You already have Markennan.

The two big pickups for the Oilers were Pronger and Peca. The best defenseman in the league and a Selke award winner. You think the Oil are going to be bad defensively for long stretches?

The oilers are a streaky team, I'll drop Markannen when they start losing again.

The best defenseman in the league

He's not the best defensemen in the league, at least not anymore.

Suit yourself. Trade away a first round forward for a goalie who is one rush away from injury, and who is playing for a team that has had the best part of their season prior to now, and have the rough spots to look forward to.

If he gets injured I'll throw him on the IR and pick up a streaky goalie, like Markkanen.

Jarkko Ruutu

ROOT TOOTIN’

Do you remember Christian Ruutu? He was a large yellow fellow who played for the Canucks for five minutes. I’ll give you 25 cents for any Christian Ruutu memorabilia. I don’t really want it. I just want to know if it exists.

Jarkko Ruutu has been a Canuck since 1999. In the winter of 2003 I went to the Canucks’ official team store. After rummaging through piles of Naslund and Bertuzzi key chains and pillowcases, I asked the guy there if they had anything with Ruutu’s name on it and he LAUGHED IN MY FACE. He said if I really wanted to, they could probably get RUUTU stitched on the back of a jersey, but only if I really wanted it. He said all of this while laughing in my face.

Since Brent Sopel is gone, Jarrttuu is the only character player left. Naslund is religo, which means he’s not so into wagging his tongue in public. Bertuzzi is a giant loaf of pound you in the face cake, which tastes pretty boring if you ask me. Morrisson is a nice Canadian boy, but so is that donut shaped thing that floats (if it’s in Canada). Ohlund is a plain jerk. Just kidding. He seems really nice, like a flower or a white piece of paper. Trevor Linden speaks in full sentences, which is pleasant, except he never actually says anything. Daniel Sedin is Henrik Sedin, which is twice as boring. Cloutier suppresses his temper by speaking in one tone at a slow and boring speed. Gone are the days when he would skate across the rink to punch people in the face. And gone is Sopes, who could barely skate backwards because his hair would get in his eyes.

I am judging these guys from their TV interviews. Those are the big guys, the ones with the commercials and personalized foam fingers. They can do whatever they want on the ice if it makes them win. But I can’t get behind Naslund just because he is a great hockey player. I can’t walk around town with his name across my jugs if he isn’t going to wiggle his tongue back and forth. I would buy Ruutu jock straps. I’d buy Ruutu anal beads. You make it, and I’ll buy it. But maybe you shouldn’t make the items I suggest. Jarrttuu is a very respectable fellow. He wears glasses, you know.
