This probably isnt too surprising. Either way, good to see him back another year.

Yeah this is a great signing for hockey in general. Sakic is a class act and a great player.

Maybe he saw the Yzerman vs. Sakic thread and wanted to break Stevie Y's numbers :lol:

I read the deal was worth $6.75 mil, a million more than what he made last season.

good to hear - hes one of my favorite players growing up - loved those detroit/colorado games
"I definitely knew he traveled, but I didn't know they were going to call it. That was one of them situations in which a great player made a move...and they called the call. And I was like, 'Oh, man, there is a God.'

Although its 6.75 he still had a great year this year. He hasn't really shown any signs of slowing down.

I hope the Leafs extend/re-sign Sundin so they will suck that much longer :)
