[Devils-list] More Milbury Idiocy

[Rick Berk]

I can see why Milbury did the deal.  I know a guy in Islanders PR, and
Milbury is under pressure to put fannies in seats this year.  But
personally, I just think he would have been better off with Jagr (who
Pittsburgh is shopping) or even Roenick, if they had to go this way.  The
Aucoin deal is nice for them as well, but to me Yashin is just so full of
headaches and pitfalls that it's just not worth the risk.
