They all do stuff for several sports outlets though for the most part. It's not like ESPN is the only place you can go to find information from them.

Fair enough, but none of those people work for free. If ESPN really completely didn't care about hockey, they wouldn't be paying them (except Buccigross, who is also a Sportscenter Anchor).

We've all been there. I have a saying, when your think you know everything you know nothing.


As far as Stewart, its one year on the deal, he's an experienced player. How bad can it be?

At worst we trade him for more than he's worth and we move on.

Hey Goose, I was definitely wrong about Stewart's goal scoring prowess. For some reason I had in my head that he had scored 28 goals twice in about 60 games each season. But it appears I was wrong or confusing him with someone else, maybe E Kane? I thought he scored at about a rate of 35g/82 games. But he is more like a 25/82. So I agree that 25-30 goals is more than we should expect. And I was wrong to say that your logic was faulty. I was basing that off my mistaken belief that Stewart scored more than he did.

I offer to you my sincerest apologies. And I promise to start doing my homework so that I can keep up next time.

I may be an arrogant, egotistical, know-it-all. But I will admit when I am wrong, and I will apologize when people deserve it. My bad Goose. Sorry.

No problem. It happens.

My biggest piece of advice, feel free to voice your opinions. Just be respectful about it. Calling names, saying people need to wear a helment, and things of that nature aren't going to get you very far around here. Unless you're looking to get yourself banned.

I'm sure I've given wrong information before. I appreciate the apology though.

Considering ESPN is part owner of TSN, are they really paying them anything extra?

It's a minority share. None of Strang, Burnside, or Buccigross are employed by TSN.
