Yeah, and he helped win a Cup for the Red Wings.

Legace is still available, he hasn't even had a phone call yet from anyone-according to legace and his agent:

Legace would be better than old fart belfour, and I would even be fine with Hasek...

Give me the Dominator. He tied for the NHL lead in shutouts last season even missing a large chunk at the end after getting hurt. I'm bemused by the comments about Belfour that he's been to the finals, when Hasek not only has been there, but won a Stanley Cup with the Wings. That said, a rejuvenated and fit Belfour, even at 41, might have another solid year left and, if he doesn't, with a minimum salary plus incentives, it won't cost that much to find out. With Osgood around and Liv hardly inexperienced (though not in the NHL), we've got alternatives on board.

Regarding the dominator, any concerns with the salary cap?

They had to let go of McCarty and a couple others for that reason last year. I'm guessing Hasek is demanding a king's ransom.

I don't know about Hasek's expectations. I would guess he's probably in the same boat as Belfour, to be realistic.

He couldn't come out at what 40 yrs old? Coming off of a season ending injury... and demand a King's ransom. No one would bite on that.

I wouldn't be surprised if Hasek ends up signing for less than the Eagle. Depending of course on where he lands.

They're both prepared to sign for the minimum with performance incentives.

I've also heard that Belfour is a bit of a cancer in the locker room.

I'd rather have Hasek any day. At least Hasek has been good this century.

I HATE Belfour and his whacking players in the back of the legs and complaining to the refs. I can't imagine many skaters in the league would even WANT to play with him.

Man, you aren't kidding. There have been so many times that I've wanted to jump through the t.v. and attack the guy when he's played the habs and was treating the player's legs like batting practice.

The guy is DIRTY. Just chopping away, taking full, wind up hacks at the backs of guys legs.

I'm not a fan of, nor do I advocate or condone attemps at intentionally injuring a player. Nor do I ever wish for an injury to occure. But if I was that type of person, the Bald Eagle is the FIRST person I'd want someone to take a run at.
