I think this is a great move. Hejduk needs to go on a tear this season. Although I was a bit surprised that Alex Tanguay only got a one-year deal recently with the Av's...

That is good news. Do you think he will be able to fill the void left by Forsberg? or are they going to get someone else to do that?

I think "The Duke" is the man. Can't worry about Peter's departure. A line with Tanguay-Sakic-Hejduk is a nice thing to see. Just gotta get out the gate with a full head of steam.
