Maybe the Coyotes keep both him and Sean Burke, hope they both get hot at the deadline and then take the best deal. I played eight year in the minors and to this day I have nothing to show for except sore bones. Can't they come up with a guide that will help the player for life after hockey, because it's not like we made millions and could retire. The sad part about all this half of the players in the minors can play in the NHL but it's to get there. I'm sure Gary Bettman would hire me tomorrow.
Some guys get the big contract and just lose the desire.
I hope he's not one them and that he was in an early season slump or something. As far as surprises, I'd have to say Mathieu Schneider or Brian Leetch. Evgeni Nabokov has also been great with no fanfare. However, if the Avs picked him over Marc Denis, they must think he's No. 1 goaltender material. And with Patrick Roy's impending free agency, who knows, maybe Aebischer gets that chance next season.
