After all who wants to be upstaged by ex-teammates?<br /><br />Now it's time to relax and enjoy the summer. No one knows how this team will turn out next year. There are reasons to be worried and reasons to be optimistic and we'll just have to wait to see how it turns out.<br /><br />I do have one suggestion for Martin on how he could motivate Sergei - just post a copy of Grabovski's new contract on Sergei's stall.DBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08774116563390591423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435571560723564995.post-12544548906619483032009-07-07T04:12:06.773-11:002009-07-07T04:12:06.773-11:00Call it superstition, but I'm beginning to bel...Call it superstition, but I'm beginning to believe that the predictions offered by the pundits every season, the teams they (and everyone) pegs to do well and hype up are just the teams that don't succeed and contradict the hype. Of course, there are some exceptions (i.e., Detroit). But I'm actually feeling a strange sense of comfort about our chances next season. No one expects us to be very good. What a relief! We have a legit top line (assuming our three acquisitions play together). The brothers K and Pleks absolutely MUST have a decent to good season if they want to play anywhere other than the KHL (or for pocket-change salary, relatively speaking) during the year to follow; they'll have motivation. I've faith in our young guys (my wife informed me last night that D'agostini is still her "hockey boyfriend"). And we still have Markov. Still, I'll be nervous to encounter Ottawa, but 5 mil does seem like too much for Kovy.Darren Biffordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17400526498613989489noreply@blogger.com
