Just be careful of the sheet mental it can do a lot of damage as well as hurt a lot of people.

If you thing about it's labor against workers. Labor is team owners and worker are the player. The main problem is what size to make the salary cap, and length of all contracts. To fit the money that each team has to work with for each contract. Each of these contract take a slice of that cap. You have to remember you will have to freeze it at some point to prevent the team from going broke.

Remember where Larry and Doug played there hockey was The Hawks taught them every thing they learned as players. They both know how to make a team a winner.

Hi hf101, the post dated Jul 21,2012. Doug Wilson was drafted in 1977 by the Chicago Blackhawks. He played there for 14

seasons. Not in the hall yet. Still hard working as the GM of the Sharks.

If you have anymore questions. Send me a PM.

All I can say the owner meant what he sad you will always our captain

When you look at Logan and Rick thread they have they are core players of there team. You build the team around them. You see the younger player looking up to them. You put them in the position guiding them. You don't take away at all. You better take a look what is going to be the best for team improvement and not because of money either. Do you want to be a contender for the cup and to keep the fan in there seats.

Here is the third part of my blog.

Then in 1991 Doug made the choice to wave the no trade clause to make his move to another

team. The team he chose was the San Jose Sharks. To the Sharks he brought a hard working

defense men with great skills. That the new team could build on. All his hard work was rewarded

with being made the teams first captain. To guide such players as Kelly Kesios, Rob Zettler, and

Jeff Odgers. The challenges were many for a young team but that is what he needed and wanted in

Then in 1993 Doug retired from active play leaving with 237-goals, 590-assist, 827-points, and

1,024 regular season games. In the playoff games there were 80-points in 95 postseason games.

Here are a few things I found interesting about Doug Wilson. Three time post season all-star games. Seven time in the NHL all-star game. A Canadian Cup and Rendez Vous, 1984 Canada

Cup. Played on the best line in hockey the K.L.M. Then he went on to be the President of the Players

Association. Also formed the NHL Alumni Association.

After a couple of years away he came back to the Sharks as Director of Player Development. He

took care of contracts, offer sheets and all of the out of country scouts. Then he became the GM that is today.

A legend is someone who is loyal, and put a lot of hard work into something he likes. Even tho he doesn't have a Stanley Cup. Is Doug Wilson a legend in hockey?

What in the world are these hockey players thinking.

Last night I was tired posted it to the wrong place..will try again.

Doug was a defense men with a slight build. With such a slight build he had a great skating

ability. He loved having a lot of body contact. Also the worked at clearing the net so the goal

could be scored. Worked hard and loved doing it all.

Soundness in the defensive zone play and again loved the body contact. Great knack

in the offensive zone in front of the net. These abilities gave him 40 point 11 times. Most

goals scored by a defense men with 39 and the most point with 85.

As a young player your first roommate was Stan Milkito (check spelling of names).

Then you have teammates the likes of Bobby Orr, Keith Magnisons.

I would like to share some things I knew growing up. Please read it and in joy it as much as I have.

Doug Wilson was born July 5, 1957 in Ottawa Canada.

He started his 17 year hockey career with the Ottawa 67's. It's a city and a team surrounded in

anything hockey. When he became an 67's he knew, he would have the best chance to learn

hockey as a young player. He knew the hard work and the ice time would be there for him to

develop with.

And develop he did. The skating speed, body contact, and a slap shot. He became a two way

playing deference-men. As a result off this development in his junior skating. There is 105

junior games, within these games you have 51-goals, and 116 assists. Best of all there was 167

points. There was an all star deference-men in juniors. He had 9-goals, 30-assists, in 31 games

in the playoffs.

to be continued

With Mr Nash he is the only one who can wave the on trade clause in his contract. He has sated that he would like to play with Mr Thornton and knew some of the coaching staff.
