Never said weneeded him, just reporting what I heard.
We NEED Gaborik, but we can't afford him. We can afford Shanny, but don't need him.

Agreed, but I couldn't fit that in the witty way I put the previous post. :roll:

Oh yeah, the question wasn't directed at you, it was just a rhetorical pondering...sorry for the confusion...I understand what you were doing, don't worry![]()
Gaborik is sexy as hell...we do need him...

Plus, he's a right-handed shot. He could add balance to the PP playing on the left wing boards. I wouldn't be upset if they didn't sign Shanahan, but I don't think having him would make the Penguins worse.

They don't need Gaborik but he would be an awesome player to have on the team. They don't want Shanny, and he would not be an awesome player to have on the team.

I mean, if we're talking 1 yr, $1 million AND ditching Sydor, I guess so...but I like to have that wiggle room with the cap going into the deadline...
At this point, signing Shanny cancels the wiggle room and I'm not a fan of that...

And comparing LeClair (a constant underachiever) to Shanny (one of the best power forwards ever) is a little silly.

That I will agree with, I mispoke. I just mean that Shanny is on the downswing of his career just as LeClair was, and could end up being a huge disappointment for people who hear the name "LeClair" or "shanahan" and pick their heads up in misplaced excitement.

This I agree with. The people that are expecting the Shanahan from 1998 are going to be very disappointed.
