  1. The M's were bad deals. Some teams gambled on speed in the new NHL, and some figured the game would go right back to being a big man's game. Lou gambled wrong, but he was one of many to lose that bet.The Rolston deal was a good deal at the time. We needed goals, and Rolston had pushed 30 goals almost every year up until then. Same issue as Ryder, it's hard to tell when that train is going to stop. I guess by that logic, St Louis was stupid to sign Gretzky. His scoring dropped way off that year, so his signing must have been a mistake right? Hindsight makes a great GM of all of us. The biggest mistake of Lou's time in my opinion was Kovy. I know that's controversial, and also aided by hindsight, but we just gave up way too much, hurt our cap situation, made it harder to retain free agents, and diverted from the Devils formula that had worked so well up until then in the hopes that one guy could save the franchise. As for Martin, he was absolutely not going to resign in NJ. Lou is an honorable man. I don't think he was going to participate in a bidding war he knew he would lose just to raise the price for other teams. Right or wrong, I believe that's why he didn't put an offer out.
  2. I certainly understand the sentiment, just can't bring myself to it.
  3. Detroit to win would be great. Wouldn't mind seeing Zach and Minnesota win, though I guess I'm supposed to be bitter still. Can't help but like him even though he left us.
