I was ashamed of being a kings fan after watching Roenick make a laughing stock of the team. Sure we had our problems this year with Sean Avery among other things. But Roenick was a major distraction.
Roenick is a bit of a chump. When he was focussed and on his game he was a real force. But his mouth gets him into trouble. I thought when he broke his jaw a couple seasons ago he'd shut up but I was wrong...it just made him even more vocal. I happy to hear that he plans to concentrate on his game again.
If I am Dave Nonis I would seriously consider meeting with Roenick and working out a deal. You could probably sign him for $1 million. You never know he could turn into a Selanne. It is a risk but the risk is reduced because of the low price. I would do it.
I completely agree with Ryan. I strongly doubt that he will have a comeback season like Selanne's but he said he's willing to play in Canada for cheap so I'd test that statement and see how desperate he really is. He could be a good cost-efficient player.
Ya if he is concentrating on his game then he'd be a good asset to any team, including the Canucks. but the real question is, would he be a cancer in the dressing room? You need to have some seriously strong lockerroom leadership for Roenick not to cause bigtime waves. I'm not sure if the Canucks have it. Naslund is the s*** on the ice but his low key leadership style has always been in question.
