I see Jason's point about wanting equal "value", but I also see Scott's point too.

Here are the top Goalies:
M. Kiprusoff (Cgy - G) = 56pts
M. Brodeur (NJ - G)  = 45pts
D. Hasek (Ott - G) = 43pts
M. Legace (Det - G) = 42pts
M. Turco (Dal - G) = 41pts

Now, would I give up Hasek (43pts) (when he was healthy I mean) for Pierre Marc-Bouchard (45pts), a guy who is not even on anyone's roster?  Uh... no.  To give up the best goalie in the league, I'd expect a top-flight guy in return just like Scott.  I mean, Brent had to dangle Ilya Kovalchuk (78pts) to get himself a top-flight goalie...

I guess maybe that is a sign that maybe Goalies were a bit undervalued in our league this year, but given the "goalie" hoarding problem we have, it would've been even WORSE if goalies were worth more.   

My dad joked last night how it would be just like the Vikings to end up trading Daunte to Oakland to re-unite him with Randy and then watch them roll to a superbowl in Oakland.   

Hmmm...

+ RW Mattias Weinhandl (from NYI via waivers)
+ D Martin Skoula (from Dallas)
+ D Shawn Belle  (from Dallas)
+ 1st Round Draft Pick (from Edmonton)

- RW Alexandre Daigle (waivers, now unassigned)
- G Dwayne Roloson (to Edmonton)
- D Willie Mitchell (to Dallas)
- 2nd Round Draft Pick (to Dallas)

Looks like we dumped a few guys who will be unrestricted free agents next year and that's it.  Also, considering we sent Roli to one of the teams ahead of us in the playoff race, I'm assuming that means we are giving up for this year.

I keep hearing lots of talk that the Wild saved their free agent money this year so they would have it to spend next year, but I don't know if I believe that just yet.   

I think he means "Baseball Canada" and not a Canadian Baseball team, considering that the 92/93 Blue Jays were not exactly an all-Canadian team.

And I agree with Mikey - I might actually watch these games if they weren't on in the middle of the day...

I wonder how much these sets will end up costing...

Think they will be the same as the rest or think they will try to squeeze a few more bucks out of you to get them?

I don't think the Snowspeeder or Cannon will fit on the standard card so it will be interesting to see how they package them.

Jesse is having some PC problems, so I'm taking care of things for him on this one...



I'm sure he will be by later to let you all know his thoughts on doing this review!

Early samples or not I disagree with Jeff.

That's it, you're on my "naughty" list.  Plus, I'm going to tell on you... 

Uh, anyway, I expect there will be more/better info on the mail away once these figures hit in larger numbers.  I just think that this particular figure should not be considered as exactly what the "final" product may be.
