I just have to say, thank god for that. Wilson simply isn't an upgrade, what an awful contract they gave him. 3 years, 20 million (starting next season I guess).

Huh, this is all interesting context wise. I heard a Riccardi comment last night...he was asked about the potential of trading Troy Glaus. His answer? "Well, I won't be trading Troy for Jack Wilson, I can tell you that much". I thought it was kind of an odd comment, but I didn't know about the Wilson rumours at that point in time.
