Who are you, Regis?? "Is that your final answer?!"

Haha.

Hossa -- that's fine, him and his brother can be a traveling road show, and I'm sure the folks that make the newspaper headlines can have some fun with the two of them being traded.

You've got a deal. Nice doing business with you Donny. Do me a favor and send me the official pronunciation for this Swedish guy...I guess I'm going to have to talk to Weinman and the NY media one of these days.

All the best,

Slats

Negotiate with an agent five minutes before the deadline...are you kidding me???? Besides, you child, it is JOSH Gratton, not Chris.

Sure, I'll take Montoya. All looks good to me except for Hollweg...I need Marcel to make this deal happen.

Final offer.

Sheesh, Donny! Relax. We all can't be in the office like you and e-mail every 2 minutes.
 
Chris Gratton, huh? Didn't know you guys picked him up. I am intrigued by that -- could be a nice complement to Shanny.

Not Hossa, but I'll do Hollweg...I think he can be of some value to you guys. You catch that 2-goal game he had last month?

You think I'm trading The 'Quette? No way, he's a keeper. What about the Cuban fella...Montoya? Me and Schoenfield were talking about him yesterday...Gernanded loves him. You always liked him, didn't you? Seems like everyone in the organization and around the league is high on him...could be worth a shot for you.

I'd like to have a conversation with Gratton's agent before we make the trade..see if he'd be interested in a 3 or 4-year deal.

Glen - It took you 2 hours to respond to me with the deadline looming? Come on pal...you gotta work with me here.

Vrbata is off the market. Jessiman? Please, that was YOUR call, Slats. I gave a strong recommendation to drafting Getzlaf, Parise, or Bernier that year.

Weekes? Uhh Glen, he's across the Hudson with Lou.

Make it Valiquette and Hossa, and I'll throw in my guys LeNeveu and Gratton.
 
Let me know ASAP.

DM --

You're a phony baloney, Maloney.

Morning round was great, I took $100 off of Dolan and $50 from Mills. And I'm now 4 up on big boy Dolan through 8 holes...the guy can't make a putt.

I watched this guy Sandstrom on my Treo...he looks awesome! You looking to deal him?

I read Vrbata's giving you problems with the contract...if you include him, I'm willing to part with Hugh Jessiman and Weekes...I remember how much you liked those two. We only have 15 minutes...we got a deal?

-Glen
