Aug 28th, 2008 • Uncategorized
After three months of pondering and procrastinating about whether to continue his NHL career or retire, Colorado Avalanche captain Joe Sakic finally had an answer late Tuesday afternoon for his agent, Don Baizley.
The hockey player, 39, told Baizley that he had decided to play again and that it was time to cut a deal with Colorado general manager Francois Giguere.
By Wednesday morning, Baizley and Colorado had agreed on a one-year, $6-million contract, and the Avalanche made the announcement in the afternoon.
