Just saw it on ESPNEWS's ticker, but it doesn't have it on their site yet...

Anyways, Phoenix sure is going after a lot of free agent talent... wonder how much the deal is worth, though. He's a good player...

Mike Comrie was not a free agent (well, at least not an unrestricted free agent).

Last season Phoenix traded Sean Burke, a wiinger and a prospect to Philly in exchange for Comrie. Therefore Phoenix had the rights to Comrie and signed him before his arbitration hearing on Saturday.

Since he went from $1.65 million last year to a two year deal with $4 million then I hardly think that Pheonix is throwing money around with respect to Comrie.

Now, the deal for 40yr old unresticted agent Brett Hull on the other hand, is considered "generous"...

In related news, Phoenix has unretired #9 for Brett:

Sorry, I wasn't implying that he was a free agent, just that they're going after a lot of free agents and then they signed him.

And, yeah, I saw the stuff about Hull... and the jersey being "unretired". I'm not sure if it's a PR stunt or if it's actually meaningful. Most likely PR.

Well they're unretiring Bobby Hull's #9 for Brett Hull. I don't think that Dad will mind sharing the honour. They'll probably reretire #9 for both of them in two years or whenever Brett retires.

Brett and Bobby don't exactly have a good relationship... that and Brett has publically gotten P.O.'d when clubs offered the number 9 to him because his father wore it.

      The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?

      Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with adblockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Opera Air'. It still has some bloat, but nowhere near as much as Brave browser, for example. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. I have a system wide Adblocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the the web browser, but over the whole thing. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt adblocker because of that.
