Well then....

The Red Wings are getting Cujo. The Leafs are getting Belfour.

Hmmmmm.

I think Cujo is ready to make the jump to money goalie. He certainly wasn't the weakest link for the Maple Leafs.

I still maintain Richter would have been a better choice than Cujo. Cujo's going to make it very difficult for Detroit to keep some of its key players.

If Detroit manages to dredge up the money to re-sign most of its team, then Cujo was a good choice. If they lose someone (Chelios is a likely candidate), then it's a bad decision. Being down Bowman, Hasek, and Chelios significantly weakens Detroit.

Well, Chelios has made it clear that Detroit is still his first choice, despite being a free-agent...as long as the Wings make a decent offer to him, he should go back to the Wings rather easily.

I do't know what Cujo is being paid by the Wings, but I heard (somewhere) that he was willing to sign for less, for a chance to play for a cup. I agree that Richter (despite his bad knees) would have been a better choice, mainly because I don't think Cujo has what it takes - I don't see him taking that next step; i.e., actually leading the Wings to the Cup. He's not the man for the job...

The terms I heard were something like 24 million for three years. (Less than what the Leafs were offering him.)
