Thank You, Joe Sakic: Avalance Star Makes One Fewer Retirement Question

 
After months of waiting, Joe Sakic has finally made up his mind to come back to Colorado. Mabye he should teach Mats Sundin how to decide between retiring or not. I'm not sure about the rest of you, but I'm tired of "The Great Wait of 2008." If Sundin dosn't make a decision by training camp, he's likely done. I think the NHL should go back to a free-agent season of July 1 to July 31, because this is just ridiculous. (link)
