what a gentleman. he says, since he's 37 next month, he thinks it is only fair to both sides that he sign a ONE year deal. since there is a chance, he says, though not likely, that he might retire after a year. he says any player over 35 has that hanging over him. hear that, Chelios?
he's played all 17 seasons with the Avs. i love hearing that.

Yeah, I saw him sign a one year deal...didn't know the story behind him...great player...and you seldom see them play all their years for one team anymore.

you gotta admit, though, if he can play, let him play, and i think than once he looses his touch, he'll know when to retire. not like he need the money from playing a dozen and a half seazons, lol.

I'm betting that if anyone knows when to quit, it will be Sakic. he's always been such a smart player, and a smart man.

He's not all that smart...after all, he could be playing for a real team like the Blue Jackets.
