Excellent analysis. Points per game is the best way to rank players.
If it got Bure into the hall...
Bure got into the Hall because he was one of the greatest pure goal scorers the league has ever seen. Also, the league obviously gives deference to those Russians who helped begin the influx into the league of defectors from the Soviet Union (coughLarionovcough).
Shanny will get there, no doubt.
Shanny will get there, no doubt.
Bure is one of the greatest goal scorers ever. Shanahan was one of the greatest power fowards ever. Lindros was easily the best player in the NHL right there with Jagr in his first 8 years.
Sundin deserves to be in the hall but not in his first year of eligibility. Oates and Bure waited 7 years to get in.
So Feaster trades for Wideman's rights and signs him to a stupid deal (5 years, 26.25 mill).
Suter is going to get 20mil per year.

The Wideman signing makes me so happy... as an Oilers fan.:naughty:
Lockout seems inevitable if players like Wideman are getting 5+ mil a year for 5 years
Yeah right. I don't see any news on this. Link?
I'm actually unsure if a 12 years contract was really the best thing in Crosby's case. If he stays injured for the rest of his career and only plays half seasons, that could be a really hindering factor in the Penguins case. While they have a great team atm this could play against them.
Is anybody else having a really hard time picturing Brodeur playing for a different team? I always hate it when a player sticks with a team for their entire career and then plays a couple years longer than they should with random teams and put up bad numbers. It just seems like it tarnishes their amazing career to me.
Yeah, it seems really weird. The only reason I can think of as to why it has come to this is because the Devils ownership is in a bigger mess than we thought.
They should do like Mike Bossy. Play 9 seasons scoring over 50 goals, retire at 30 after the 10th season the moment you only manage 38.
If Mike Bossy's back hadn't been such shite, he would've been a top-5 scorer all-time :(
I'm taking my talents to west mall Alberta.

Happy the Oilers finally got a highly sought after FA, but I'm going to keep my expectations for him reasonable considering this is his first NHL season.
