Hazing the new guy

The St. Louis Blues just tendered an offer sheet to new Canuck Steve Bernier. Im sure this has everything to do with what kind of hockey player Bernier is and nothing to do with the Gillis' offer sheet to Backes earlier this summer. Says Davidson:

“Steve is a good young player who would play a big part in our youth movement,” said Davidson. “Our coaches and scouting staff are extremely positive about him.”

Translated from press-speak:

"Im going to show you that it's not okay to be a freshman!"

No more Mr. Nice Guy
No more Mr Cle-he-he-ean!

Gary Bettman may need a hall monitor to keep the kids in line.

I don't totally understand all the offer sheet rules but I'm suprised no one went after the Oilers. Maybe the other GMs are sick of Burke as well?

I would pay good money to see O'banyon smash Gillis with a paddle.
