puck7x Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 Keep in mind that this is a Bruce Garrioch article... So take it with a grain of salt... http://www.canoe.ca/Slam030701/col_garrioch-sun.html The Ducks would like to bring back winger Teemu Selanne, who turned down a one-year option from San Jose, but he'll be seeking $6.5 million per year. Another option for Selanne might be the Canadiens. The Wings were trying to make a last-ditch effort to sign centre Sergei Fedorov. A four-year, $40-million offer remains on the table, but there's talk he could be headed to the Los Angeles Kings or Montreal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalhabs Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 but still I would love to have Fedorov on the team. He is both good offensive and defensive and speedy. To bad he is so expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puck7x Posted July 2, 2003 Author Share Posted July 2, 2003 More Garrioch montreal/fedorov rumours... It's believed the New York Rangers, Los Angeles, New Jersey and Montreal have shown an interest in Fedorov. Expect to see him take less than what he could have received from Detroit. I wonder where this guy is getting his info from? Or is he just making it up? http://www.canoe.ca/Slam030702/nhl_fa1-sun.html Oh and a Whitney-habs rumour... The Vancouver Canucks need a boost on their second forward line, the Montreal Canadiens need help on their power play and their offence in general. Whitney sounds like an affordable option. Though its not as much a rumour as it is speculation... http://www.canada.com/ottawa/story.asp?id=...48-661D80F27D34 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sakiqc Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 yeah, only speculation. it's hard to keep our hope on speculation. What is sure, it's that Fedorov is heading out Detroit http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story.asp?id=46149 theo I don't want to start any rumour, but Theodore was seen in Toronto today http://www.rds.ca/cgi-bin/nouvelles?site=r...rt=LNHCAN#83388 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoHabs2002 Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 I would talk to both Hatcher and Fedorov. I would offer both 5-year deals worth 25 million. That's it Five million per, nothing more. I would let them think about it and let them decide. No negotiation, no bargaining. We would have no chance with Hatcher, as Detroit already offered more, but I would at least show interest.

Zowpeb Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 If you are going to low ball them both that badly then why bother. It is widely known that Fedorov wants 10+ million per season and Hatcher wants 7 million per season. If Fedorov was offered 40 million over 4 years what in gods name makes you think they'll even consider or think about 25 million over 5 years? All that would do is make them seem unreasonable and not worth dealing with. It would make it even harder for us to attract quality players.

Habby1197 Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 The more I think about it... the more I want Fedorov on the Habs... Maybe a 3 year 24 million dollar deal I'm drooling over possible lines... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a 3 year 24 million dollar deal I'm drooling over possible lines... 8 million a year for him? Thats almost double of our highest paid players. What happens if Koivu gets more points then him while making 4-5 million per year? It would look pretty dumb... I want Fedorov but not for more then 6 million per year , so its pretty much impossible. Unless of course NO ONE out there is willing on giving him more.... yeah right... Kastsitsyn - Fedorov - Perezhogin :-^:-^:-^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ch_nl Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 I hope that Sergei listen to his father and comes to Montreal. Anything new? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sakiqc Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 Originally posted by ch_nlAnything new? Well... it appears the offers are now around 8M$/season. Also, there was an interesting Pat Brisson quote today : source: http://www.freep.com/sports/redwings/nhl15...15_20030715.htm "We want to make sure Sergei is in the right environment," he said. "Sergei is a great player, a superstar, but he can't do his stuff all by himself. He needs a supporting cast. "He definitely wants to be in a position where he goes to the rink smiling every day and has a chance to win." IMO, that means the door is closed for Anaheim and Montreal.

Habs77 Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 Gainey said from day 1 he was NOT interested in Fedorov... no door has closed, we were never interested. Seriously guys, you need to move on. I even read today that his agent is now saying Detroit is still a possibility... completely taking back his ealier comments that Fedorov would definitely not be returning to the Wings. Man did Sergei get some bad advice when he refused that original 5 year 50M deal... ah well, that's what greed will get you. (mind you greed ain't that bad, it'll still get him around 8M per ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sakiqc Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 And you think Gainey cannot hide his game ? Or change his mind? I'm pretty sure there could have been a way to give 32M$ for 4 years to Sergei. As for the payroll chart, it would not be weird or bad if Sergei makes 8M$ while Theo makes 6 and Saku 5. How do you think will get Saku when he becomes a UFA? And Theo? 8 M$ is not astronomic for a player of Fedorov caliber. Only problem.. he's asking more than 50M$ 5 years (what i doubt will happen).. and he wants a supporting cast (what we won't have until pere, kast, higgs, hossa and pleky develop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habs77 Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 If Gainey says he's not interested, he's not interested. Gainey also hinted that if he'd ever bring in someone, it would be relatively young who could help the team for a long time. Fedorov, who'll turn 34 in december, does not fit into that description. So forget Fedorov... If we do anything, it'll be by trade IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
