So who knows, maybe Nedved's holdout was a blessing in disguise.<BR/><BR/>Regardless, in the late 90s, when Nedved held out again, this time on the Penguins, I wasn't surprised, and Petr, to me, became the symbol of what was wrong with professional athletes - contantly holding out, looking for more money - out-of-touch, greedy and selfish. His career peaked with that 99 point season in 1996 as a 25 year old - he was never able to regain that form after sitting out that entire season a couple years after that great year.<BR/><BR/>I thught Bure and Nedved would make a great team for the Canucks - turned out Petr wanted none of that. Too bad for him.C-fanSince88https://www.blogger.com/profile/12466109745674918581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28366573.post-49253577789119178842008-04-18T09:43:00.000-07:002008-04-18T09:43:00.000-07:00As a Seattle Thunderbird fan, I would have loved s...As a Seattle Thunderbird fan, I would have loved seeing Peter back in the WHL for another season.<BR/><BR/>Of course, I was also a Canucks fan at the time.
