Good man.
Northeast Division
Felix Potvin - Bruins - could still be a backup goalie somewhere, but the reigns will be handed over to Andrew Raycroft.
James Patrick - Sabres - class guy, but at 42....how long would he hold up?
Patrice Brisebois - Habs - he prolly won't retire, but he is very pricey, and very mediocre, albeit not old, 34.
Dominik Hasek - Senators - oddball extraordinaire. Says the league has to start up....it will. But will he stick around?
Peter Bondra - Sens - offered up nothing at the end of the last season. Waste of money.
The Toronto Dusties
Belfour - way too much money for a 40 year old goalie. Dem bones iz aboot to break.
Leetch - not the same player he once was.....and pricey.
Roberts - old, not very productive and expensive.....bad mix with the new CBA
Nieuwendyk - a bit like Roberts
Mogilny said he was going to retire, and Owen Nolan would cost Toronto a pretty penny as well.
Scott Stevens, battered, pricey, old.
Mariusz Czerkawski......prolly headed back to Europe.
Sean Burke.....old goalie caught in a numbers game in Philly.
John Leclair - old, awful contract, no production, injury problems.....Philly needs to waive goodbye.
Tony Amonte - Flyers don't want to deal with the salary, lack of production.
Vlad Malakhov - already left Philly
Rangers - Kasparaitis, Mironov, Messier, Holik, Jagr.....either too old, or too expensive. Rangers need to gut out the fat salaries and mediocre production.
Mario Lemieux should retire, but he prolly won't.
Other names around the league who are either aging, too expensive, dropping production, injury problems....or a combination: Glen Wesley, Shawn McEachern, Bret Hedican, Rod Brindamour, Sean Hill, Scott Mellanby, Alex Karpotsev, Tim Taylor, Arturs Irbe, Luke Richardson, the Detroit Dusties: Cujo, Chelios, Schneider, Hatcher, Lang, Yzerman......Jason York, Al MacInnis, Eric Weinrich, Dallas Drake, Bryan Savage, Igor Ulanov, Vincent Damphousse, maybe Rob Blake, Sergei Zubov, Don Sweeney, Pierre Turgeon, Rob Dimaio, Romie Chokemagic, Stephane Quintal, Luc Robitaille, Jason Allison, Adam Deadmarsh, Trent Klatt, probably Brett Hull........and probably some others.
