I can’t comment on that. All I would say is what I’ve said before, which is we’re constantly looking to improve our team. We won’t stop doing that. But I don’t think it’s appropriate to discuss individual players.

(My thought: Sexton’s response leads me to believe the Panthers are interested and are exploring the possibility of signing Tanguay)

Actually I spoke to Pelts’ agent the other day and I think he’s going to end up playing in Europe this year.

We did. I had one chat with his agent and his response to me was [Koivu] was fairly well down the road with several other teams, and that he would talk with Saku, which he did. They got back [to us] and they were interested, but the other teams pressed forward to get things done. They were farther down the pipe than we were

so, they pursued Koivu, although I doubt very hard. and I agree with Steve that Sexton’s reluctance to answer about Tanguay means they are interested…..still not getting my hopes up, but more points for Sexton.

BTW, can those people on the Herald and Sentinel comment sections complain about anything else. Now it’s the preseason schedule and the “were deep enough to field two teams” comment. You’re right Whale, there’s always something for them to bitch about.

Just beat me to it, Alter!!!
