[quote=2TurboZ;797568]Its hard to argue the Vanek deal wasnt a knee jerk reaction to losing briere and drury. **Its also hard to look at vanek as being worth his deal.[/**quote] well said. ---

> [@Dlucas](#): > > uhh…unless I’m reading this incorrectly…the NHL now has a cap. I meant that baseball doesn’t have one, opposed to the NHL. Teams with $$$ can buy their star players, where the poor cities are pretty much SOL unless they get someone who doesn’t care about $$$ as much (fat chance these days) guess I should of picked better wording 😛 ---

2 different types of players…goal scorer …and playmaker…i just think ovechkin is more dynamic…he can hit, pass, and score with the best of them…and so can crosby but crosby is more of a playmaker forward…similar to a jason speza and joe thornton. ---
