Coyotes Re-sign LeNeveu

I've never had a problem with my AT&T phone service.  I always get a dial tone.  The wire connecting me to the wall helps. :-P

But don't you waste a bunch of seconds on every call waiting for that dial to spin back around?  :-D

Nobody like the guy who stays on-topic.

Does he have a touch-screen?

My impression was that the Phoenix system was stifling his development, and that he could be a solid goalie for almost any other team.  What does the resigning mean?  Are the Coyotes hoarding goalies, or are they genuinely interested in making Lenny their #1 goalie?

Stated another way, is the resigning good or bad for his professional development and progress?

I'm going to say bad, unless they are locking him up for a future trade. The problem  is that no one in the NHL needs a goalie more than the Coyotes. The best thing for him now is to make the team out of camp, and win a spot in rotation, if possible, depending on who the Coyotes sign as the 'starter'. Another problem he is going to have is that the Coyotes need to spend $3-4 million to meet the cap minimum. So the will likely be spending that on a goalie. and for 600k, they can afford to keep him on dry ice. If he can make the team out of camp and stick all season, he can manage a trade or become an UFA at the end of the year. Getting out of Arizona (or Texas) is best for him in the long run, But he needs a year in the bigs before he's of any value to  any other team, because there are a lot of goalies out there right now.

[quote Robb][quote Rita][quote ugarte][quote CowbellGuy]Buried in another story about signings is the fact that Lenny got signed for another year by the Yotes. It's on TSN.com but I can't copy and paste the link on my iPhone. Sorry[/quote]
Purported news being reported by Age: LeNeveu signing
Actual news being reported by Age: I have an iPhone! nyah nyah nyah![/quote]

I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking that. I am not much into new gadgets and stuff, but I would be tempted to get one if it wasn't so expensive.[/quote]

At the risk of John-Spencering this thread, I just don't get the iPhone hype.  I've had a Siemens pocket-PC since December of 2005 that 1) is a Cingular/AT&T cell phone, 2) synchronizes seemlessly with Outlook, 3) has 8 Gb of memory, 4) plays MP3s, and 5) displays pictures nicely.  Admittedly, I haven't really read up on the iPhone, so maybe it is actually something new, but from what I've seen, the big news is "Apple finally catches up to the rest of the world.  Again."[/quote]

Robb, are you related to Rob Malda (aka CmdTaco of slashdot fame) by any chance? Because if you don't remember, here's what Taco wrote about the iPod at its' launch - "No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame."

What you and Taco both fail to realize is that a user experience is about far more than bullet points and feature lists. I know engineers can find this hard to understand, because well, they are engineers,  but a "UI/user experience that doesn't suck" can be a major driver of consumer choice even  it won't ever show up on a spec sheet,

That said, I don't have an iPhone, nor will I get one anytime soon. I just got a Nokia N770 internet tablet - it runs linux, has an active user community, and only costs $140.  That said, nokia spend a LOT of time on the little things - the UI, the finish on the materials, the lack of bloat (even at the cost of bullets on the product box). But anyway, there is more to product success than being first to market with feature $FOO.

jeh, my comment was going to be "But is it pretty?" I think you've summed it up in about 100 times more words, though
