100k is 100k. I'd chalk...(made a couple edits)<br /><br />100k is 100k. I'd chalk it up to one of the following:<br /><br />1. Hometown overpay;<br /><br />2. A good agent;<br /><br />3. Or Tambilleni wants leverage in wooing Rob Niedermayer (they're cousins! Thanks Wikipedia!).<br /><br />I recall seeing a story that quoted Rob as saying that he didn't want to play anywhere other than Anaheim. Can't find the story now, but I seem to recall it on TSN sometime around the start of the month. Anyway, it seems unlikley that it has anything to do with the Strudwick signing, but Rob has always expressed a lot of joy in playing pro hockey with his brother. Could Strudwick's relation to him cause Tambi's hand to add those extra dollars to the offer? Unlikely, I know, but it's a slow day. As far as adding Rob, I think he fits the gameplan (especially if Heatley stays put):<br /><br />- Adds size<br />- Adds grit<br />- Versatile winger, shoots left<br />- PK/checking skills<br /><br />Vaguely intriguing, no?Downright Fiercehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15689408494027837196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14549434.post-21695177692119928122009-07-16T10:50:31.639-06:002009-07-16T10:50:31.639-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Downright Fiercehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15689408494027837196noreply@blogger.com
