Garth taking care of his boy. GM's should be foaming at the mouth to trade with this guy.

Incredible. Is there a bigger laughing stock in professional sports than the Isles? 15 years? If I hadn't seen it on TSN, I wouldn't believe it.

Could it get any worse for the Isles? They already have a bizarre "management by commitee" organizational structure, combined with Charles Wang's "you don't play if you are not signed by training camp" philosophy.

Also, no contracts get signed when he is on vacation(which he was this summer when other teams were making deals).

I only wish that the Wings could play the Isles more during the regular season.

Wang Chung is a joke.

Did the idiot not realize that Rick had TWO years left on his contract? Signing a goalie to a contract that long term is stupid. Especialy one that hasn't won shit.
