Now this is some good stuff leading up to tonite’s tilt with the Oil.
The numbers were astounding. The only thing more shocking than Edmonton’s rumored offer of as much as $81 million over nine seasons, was that Marian Hossa turned it down.
...“But I had my mind set since the beginning of the free agency that I will go to a strong team. At that point, even with the huge number, it didn’t matter because I know I wanted to go another direction.”
Bulletin board material? Sure.
But what isn’t these days? This…now this is the good part.
“The one thing I do know about the players here, as much they might be able to go somewhere else and get more money, I think most of them want to stay here. Two players since I’ve been here wanted to leave, and they left.”
Babcock would not identify the players.
That’s our Uncle Mike.
Schneider’s one. The other? Shanny? I guess. “Never A Bad Day” Bobby Lang? You tell me. I like the “Babcock wouldn’t identify…” line. Fun.

Welcome to Abel to Yzerman, a Red Wing blog since 1977. No other site on the internet has better-researched, fact-laden and better prepared discussions than A2Y. Re-phrase: we do little research, find facts and stats highly overrated and claim little to no preparation. There are 19 readers of A2Y. No more, no less. All of them, except maybe one, are juvenile in nature. Reminding them of that in the comment section will only encourage them to prove that.
