Dominik Hasek made a statement today officially announcing that he is returning to the NHL. He will stay with Detroit and CUJO will accept a trade to the right team. From the Sporting News:

All Holland would say Tuesday was that the team would move one of the goalies.

"I will talk with Curtis this afternoon," Holland said on the same conference call. "This has been tough on him. But we'll take it one step at a time."

Hasek left little doubt where he thinks he would be next season.

"My desire is to play with the Detroit Red Wings," Hasek said. "That's my goal and nothing else."

It will be interesting to see what Detroit does. Do they trade Cujo or Legace and for what?

Legace is much younger and cheaper. GM Ken Holland has already said that either Hasek or CUJO will be the one traded. Hasek will not play for anyone else and Holland knows that, so CUJO will go.

I have heard rumors of CUJO to Boston for Martin Lapointe. I hope if that happens that there is a draft pick or two involved in that as well.
