I think PK will be very good with him.
- stormey

As long as it's only on the PP. PK COULD score 20 this year.

He was put on wavers for approx 2.8 mil and no one picked him up with all the injuries in the league.
If he comes back with the stars it will be remarkable indeed.
I think he is done.

Someone actually called him "a perennial 40 goal scorer" . Now I may be a monkey but don't you actually have to score 40 once before you can "perennial"


- RENATO6


I think the word "perennial" would put emphasis on his ability to do it more than once, in consecutive seasons.

OK so he was offered for free and no one picks him up to make their team better because of his attitude?
Sean Avery plays in the NHL.

No I think it was more production + attitude multiplied by salary...

Maybe spending the entire summer drunk is the biggest reason teams don't repeat?

He leaves out the part about Buffalo being a verifiable poop-hole, though. I suppose that's out of necessity. You can't exactly put that in your media kit as you attempt to woo UFAs.

Don't tell Sabres fans that.... They love their poophole city very much. They think it's shangra-la.

Perennial is about right, he scores more then 40, but it takes more then a year to do it.

now if he had said Annual then he would have been a leafie for sure.

The solution to this is to win it all, while drunk. That way, when you party all summer, you're still ready to go come October.

Not necessarily, they felt his production (whatever it was) could be achieved at a lower cost and with less headaches. Not completely due to production. The ROI simply was not there.

Not if he continues to go 10-15 games with no goals... But apparently he has fixed his streakiness over the summer. It's all good!
