First off it would be no way in hell. That being said; NHL hockey blogger Greg Wyshynski wrote an article on Puck Daddy an article on
The 10 UFA left wingers you'd actually want on your team I have to disagree Greg, there is no way in hell I would keep watching my two favorite teams (Boston Bruins and Minnesota Wild) if they drafted this disgusting douche bag, nothing pleased me more than watching
Evander Kane drop that disgusting piece of human life form and give him what he had coming to him.
4. Matt Cooke(notes) (2009-10 Cap Hit: $1.2 million)
As insufferable as this idea might be, fans should be smiling if their team signs one of the NHL's best agitators.
"Best" in the sense that, well, he's a total pain in the ass -- although one wonders if the new ban on blindside hits means he'll need to alter his game a little. But also "best" in the sense he'll give you around 15 goals in a solid season; and, in the last two playoff campaigns with the Penguins, he has 13 points in 37 games.
The Penguins wouldn't mind him back, but signs are they aren't closing in on a new deal. The whole "you hate him as an opponent but love him on your team" thing can fall into hockey cliché sometimes, but it applies to Cooke. Hate him, but acknowledge he's a momentum changer.
I am interested in reading what others think? Do you think Cooke is a disgusting waste of skin or someone you could tolerate?
