Hull says he'd consider a return to St. Louis

ST. LOUIS -- If he becomes a free agent at the end of this season, Detroit's Brett Hull said he'd seriously consider returning to the Blues, according to a report from weekend anchor Dan Eassa at KPLR television station in St. Louis.

"I had a lot of great years there," said Hull, who played for the
Blues for 10 years, from 1988-98. "Obviously, that would be a place
that I would definitely listen to."

Hull can become an unrestricted free agent July 1, or, if he scores 35 goals, a clause will be triggered in his contract giving him another season at $4.5 million. To date, Hull has 33 goals.

Okay, what's wrong with *this* picture?

"If you score 35 goals we'll give you another 4.5 million. Never mind that the Rangers paid Bobby Holik $9 million a year to score <--checks -- uh, SIXTEEN goals with five games left to play in the season. No, no, sorry, Brettski, you're just not worth as much as Bobby Holik."

Okay, bear with me - if Brett scores 35 goals a year for the next five years, he will meet/surpass Wayne Gretzky's goals record.

Are you with me?

Brett Hull - 4.5 million a year. 712 (and counting) lifetime goals.

Bobby Holik? 9 million a year for the next four years. 240 (and counting) lifetime goals.

*snarl*

This is a truly interesting proposal for the NHL salary problems and upcoming bargaining.

We're all busy. Or depressed. It's so hard to get excited about the Avs when I have to put up with "Fuckberg" this and "Fuckberg" that and "Oh, Fuckberg scored the OT game winner!"

BLERSH.
