I'd guess he's just waiting for the right shoe to drop (Schneider trade) and then he'll ink with the team once it's cap-legal.<BR/><BR/>As an aside, in packing up some old stuff last night I found some material that I'll be posting sometime in the coming week that helps answer the question: "How nerdy was Sleek back in the 2001-02 and 2002-03 season?"

Those things are magical.<BR/><BR/>There's an interview floating around somewhere at Janne Ninnimaa's wedding with Teemu saying that he's going back to California, so who knows. I'm just glad he's not getting the Sundin treatment in the media.Miss.
