Any Brett Hull fans?

Brett had a press confrence today introuduced him to the coyotes.

I'm not sure im a huge Hull fan... it seems like he just waits around too much for the one-timer.

I'm a Hull fan now. He is a Yote and if he helps bring back the White out to the desert then I don't care if he doesn't move from infront of the net. We need someone who can actually score goals and if its Hull then great. Welcome to AZ HULL!

I definately like him more on my team. 3rd most goals in NHL history! Sure, he's getting up in age, but I think he still has some great hockey left in him. Plus, he took a big paycut so its really a low risk but huge reward situation.

Totally agree, I love the signings this off-season. Lets hope they can get there crap together and end the labor dispute.

This is definitely a step in the right direction for the franchise. Nice to see he will be wearing #9 too. I never thought I would see a Hull wearing 9 again. I missed it a great deal when Bobby left Chicago in 1972.

I just hope he does not come down with Coyote-itis and forget how to score like Amonte did while he was here.

Hull should be a threat every time he is on the ice, particularly on the power play.

If this is the end of his career, it is fitting that he finish wearing his dad's number with the franchise his dad helped put on the map.

The off season acquisitions are very positive. Hull, Ricci, Devereaux and O'Donnel are all solid players with good experience. As long as Nagy stays healthy, they should be able to form two very good lines for scoring.

This team will be much more exciting to watch this season, assuming of course there is one at all.

He's okay. I don't think he's worth the hype. Who was it on KDUS who said he's the second most vocal hockey player behind Roenick? Yep, we all know how Gretz loved JR...Not!

I think it will be good for the team to have a vocal player once again. Hull has really toned it down quite a bit since his vocal days. Just hearing what he said in his press conference was very different from the pre-Stanley Cup champion Hull of a few years back.

Ron Francis found a way to be very productive in his later years with the Hurricanes, Hull should be able to do the same thing here. He is not used to being on a loser, so hopefully his winning attitude will carry over. The same could not be said for JR because he came here from another loser, the Hawks.

Brett Hull is the reason I am a hockey fan. As for Gretzky liking Hull, they were friends before Gretzky was traded to St. Louis, and is likely one of the major reasons why Hull is in Phoenix.

I've watched Brett all my life, he's lost a step or two, but he's still got a Hullava shot, and he's totally underrated as a passer and as a leader.
