Report: Selanne to come back for one more year....

[jammer2]

Nice to see a star like Temmu come back for one more kick at the bucket. Interesting enough, if Selanne gets 30 goals next season (entirely possible when looking at last years stats and recent history), he will move from 12th all time in goals into the top 10 and possibley the 7th spot. He could pass such legends as Lucky Luc Robitlle, Mario Lemieux, Steve Yserman and Mark Messier....very, very heady company. He's already considered one of the very top scorers of all time, to pass such greats would be an amazing accomplishment.....

OK, my cut and paste function is not working (how the hell does that happen?!) can somebody cut and paste the all time goal scoring leaders for the regualr season...wikipedia....geez.....this sucks...lol.

That doesn't look like the all time goal scoring list. Where are Brett and Bobby Hull?
