Rumored to be a max offer, maybe he wants to buy a few shares of the Express??

Congratulations Stu, I am proud of you buddy!


UPDATE: It's a done deal, 3-year contract.

I hope he enjoys playing pro hockey in Des Moines.

Good point about Des Moines. For those who don't keep up on the AHL, the Anaheim Ducks announced a few weeks ago that their AHL affiliate will play in Des Moines, Iowa. Des Moines used to be the home of the Iowa Stars, affiliated with the Dallas Stars. So good luck in Des Moines Stu.
