meh- I'm not hating, I'm just goofin on your schtick. Why so serious?

I'm just suffering from a lack of sarcastic emoticons on my phone. I thought I would save him the trouble though.

I said floor. You wouldn't make it to the ice after EZBAKE made the fruitlessness of your effort abundantly clear in every one of a barrage of posts leading up to the game.

EZBAKE would mop the floor with all of you.

If it was indeed $1M I agree, but I think if it was $1M the deal would be done already. I get the feeling that a cool mil is the magic number which his pride doesn't want to go below. If McCosky is right and its more like $800k, then I could see how a little money could have a big effect and open up salary as a topic of discussion with other teams (which it appears to have done).

Pride can be a big thing. I'm sure he is smart enough to realize the constraints of what the Wings could provide, but to be wined dined and lowballed might sting for a first ballot HOFer. If he played a full year he could very well put up Bert numbers and end up with Eaves money. Everybody wants to win, but he has a Cup and getting another one is far from a slam dunk so I would bet his motivation in coming to Detroit would be more to take a victory lap in his home town. Taking a contract that is modestly above entry level probably might feel more like charity than something he earned and take away the home town good vibes.

Thanks! Well, like Duke Ellington said "there are two kinds of music: good music, and the other kind". I kinda go by that. I would venture to guess that cusimano has the biggest and most eclectic catalog around here though. I tend to stick to classics in any given genre. Diminuendo and Crescendo in Blue - Duke Ellington
