God bless Kevin Lowe for that. I love it. I especially love how sour it makes Brian Burke when it comes up.
This isn't Eastside Hockey Manager. Other GMs can and should poach RFA's if they can. The Vanek deal definitely hurt Buffalo and, to date, I like the Penner deal for Edmonton and it definitely had a negative effect on the Ducks. I guess time will tell with the draft pick that was surrendered.
