According to the Associated Press, "Joe Sakic had too good of a season to even consider retiring... The Colorado Avalanche captain signed a one-year deal Monday to remain in Denver. Sakic had 36 goals and 64 assists this season, giving him 100 points for the first time since 2000-01. He tied for sixth in the NHL in points." The article says Sakic thought briefly about going free-agent, but decided to comeback to Colorado because it was "home." So can he keep playing at this kind of a level?

Must be disappointing for them still, to be out of the playoffs.
he had a good year - he reminds me of Sundin (okay he's better) - a great leader who racks up the points - his major concern is always the team.

i think he can continue to play at this level for another two yrs, but even if he doesnt thats not why he is so valued, as blue touched on he is a great leader.
