I haven't heard anything about Lowe coming here to Vancouver, but it would be 
nice. With the Canucks already having signed Messier, Ledyard, Irbe, and 
Ohlund, Lowe would be the icing on the cake. I would really like to se 
Canadian teams rule the NHL again. i hope that with the guys we just got, 
Vancouver can be a cup contender again. They came close in 94, but with the 
guys they have now, they might actually be able to do it. The deal that the 
Rangers have offered Sakic is a $15 million signing bonus, and $2 million a 
year for 3 years. It equals out to $21 million over three years. They put all 
the money up this year so that the Avelanche will be less likely to be able 
to match. I sure hope they do, I have been a Nordiques/Avelanche fan for 
quite a few years (they are my favorite team other than Vancouver), and Sakic 
is my favorite player. I hate the Rangers more than any other team, so I 
would be really dissapointed to see Burnaby Joe go there.
