| Psychopath Registered: Jun. 01 | If Washington didn't exercise its option for Oates, the best move any team could make would be to sign Hull & Oates (Yes, like singing sensations Hall & Oates). When they were together they were fucking unstoppable. I don't think that's necessarily the answer for the Islanders troubles because they're rebuilding and if I were you guys I would want a long term solution. The sleeper out there, a player who gives his all every night who ANY team would want I would say would be Mike Keane. I hope my Canadiens bring him back, but that would be far too rational. He's got a great heart, he's a great worker, and a fantastic leader. He's not going to lead your team in scoring, but he's clutch and he scores when he needs to and fights when he needs to.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Mar. 01 | The Pens GM is also rumored to be interested in the islanders offer of cheap, young, talent that could help the pens become a powerhouse for the next ten years. so the Isles have a shot at Jagr as well This message was edited by Unicron on 6-17-01 @ 8:35 PM | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Jun. 01 | Definitely, I think Patrick's going to make a good deal for the Penguins either way you look at it. But if the Rangers are going to throw in $10 million - I mean with that sort of money Pittsburgh could go get a $2 million a year free agent and lock him up for five years. That's the brutal thing about the Rangers, they'll just throw money at anything. Graduated and Rooned by Rone on 6/16/01 | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Dec. 00 | quote: Are you crazy. What is Mike Keane going to do for anybody? He should just retire. But then again Im not really bias to the subject because I judge Keane from his 4 months of Shitty Hockey with the Rangers.  | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Jun. 01 | Well, I've seen Keane win three cups with different teams. The Rangers were just trying to cobble together free agents. It doesn't really work that way. Neil Smith wasn't using his money properly. If you give it time, Glenn Sather should be able to DESIGN a team. Graduated and Rooned by Rone on 6/16/01 | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Dec. 00 | Mike Keane is a role player who has 3 rings, that doesnt mean anything. Ron Harper has 5 NBA World Title Rings, that doesnt make him great. He wasnt responsible for them. neither is Keane. | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Jun. 01 | Fair enough, I just think Keane's more than just another average role player. Who would I much rather have on my team - Mike Keane or Alexi Yashin. I'd take Keane in a second. I wouldn't want a star who is a downright cancer in the dressing room. Obvioulsy you need other things like scoring and you can't build a team ENTIRELY of role players, but I would jump at the chance to get one, that's why Dallas did so well in picking up Kirk Muller - they bring more to the ice than just their offensive talent. Granted, that's the argument for Messier nowadays as well, but it still holds true to a degree. There are many who would say that a lot of Vancouver's success this past season was due to a lot of the work that Messier did in building up Markus Naslund to be a better captain. Good old intangibles I tell ya! Graduated and Rooned by Rone on 6/16/01 | ||||
