Confirmed with Link: Alfie is coming back!!!!

[Goat Boy]

What are the next reachable milestones for him? Other than 1111 pots (coming very soon!), can't think of anything.

18 assists to 700?

Where is that thread where everyone felt he would retire?

The one where he actually told people himself he was retiring?

That might be the thread but it was hardly official, obviously. Just goes to show you how wrong people are.

He may have or may not have told people he was retiring but if he did, apparently he forgot to tell the Ottawa media, Bryan Murray and the rest of his team.

Congratulation on learning the art of auto-********.

What?

I found the thread

Anyways, it looks like everyone that thought he was done were wrong, and that's all I am trying to point out here.

What is a great day for the Senators and most of their fans is clearly a let down for the Alfie haters.

But most people weren't calling for him to retire, or thinking he was. Mainly everyone thought a year or two, and mainly it was concern about his back, since he was coming off back surgery. Old thread, different context, folks were hoping his health was good enough to continue.

Est-ce possible que Daniel Alfredsson joue ailleurs qu'Ottawa la saison prochaine ? On me dit que Oui. Mais les Sénateurs sont sa priorité.

The english translation made me laugh. "Can Alfredsson play in a different city next season? I'm told yes." Well duh he would be a UFA. Could someone be drafted with the first overall selection? Find out next!

RSS break a story like this..
I call BS. He's still in Sweden, how would someone at RDS break a story like this.

 

[Milan the God*]

There's obviously a chance, as there is with every player in the NHL.

Doubtful, though. This is a no risk, high reward rumour.

 

[Iamok]

He's not going anywhere. I'd guess that whoever the source is, was speculating what Alfie could possibly do rather than what is intentions actually were.

 

[albator71]

Listen, if Alfie plays some where else, I will buy a Leafs jersey. There's no chance.

 

[Ouroboros]

There's been a weird vibe surrounding this whole thing, from most media types saying Alfie will cost more than the Sens may have bargained for and now to some speculation that he's open to playing elsewhere.

I don't know...

 

[Iamok]

The "media types" were speculating about a price tag before Alfie has even spoken to management about his return. It means nothing.

 

[Ouroboros]

We'll see. I don't think he'll play for another team, but I do think he'll be paid market value next season.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Well we're going to find out just how badly Melnyk is hurting financially

If Alfie goes somewhere else you can be certain it'll be due to money issues

Alfie won't be going somewhere else. Book it!!!!
