Why Not Yandle - The Final Chapter?

PrintPhoenix signed RFA defenseman Keith Yandle today to a 5 year, $26.25 million contract, "temporarily" putting to bed speculation that the Bruins might deal for the local product. The signing also prevents me from having to join Yandle Anonymous for what would seem to be least another 3-4 years.
What was also somewhat interesting about the signing is that it seems another local puck moving defenseman, Ryan Whitney, broke the story via Twitter.

Dear Michael Taylor,
You stole my avatar. It’s all good though, because you used the term “Yandle Anonymous”.
Sincerely yours,

Kick his ass, Seabass!
You stole my avatar.
LOL. Trend setter.

My apologies, you were here first. Updated the av. Glad you liked Yandle Anonymous. I’m taking the reality of no Yandle one day at a time.

You really didn’t have to change it, I was just giving you crap! You are more than welcome to use Seabass – it’s a classic!
Remember, there are twelve steps to Yandle anonymous – the first is admitting your team will not be acquiring him.
Kick his ass, Seabass!

If that's the first step. . .
This process is going to take awhile.

The first step is admitting your team doesn’t have Yandle and that you want him.

Already Making Progress
I like this first step better. I hit that step in 2009 when I realized that our team had 5 non-Chara defensemen who weren’t Keith Yandle, and I wanted to replace any of them with Keith Yandle.
What’s the next step?

THE TWELVE STEPS OF ALCOHOLICS YANDLE ANONYMOUS
- We admitted we were powerless over
alcoholYandle — that our lives had become unmanageable. - Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
- Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
- Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
- Admitted to God, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
- Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
- Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
- Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.
- Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
- Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
- Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
- Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to
alcoholicsYandleholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
So, basically, start going to church, I guess.

Yandle deal lacks a NTC, which is sure to inspire false trade rumors and speculation at the deadline over the next few years a la Kaberle. Hopefully with better results.
I can't seriously be asked to summarize my sports fandom in a short blurb for all to see, can I?

I’m a Weberite. Though believing in that is a lot like playing the lottery every day and throwing away any tickets that aren’t jackpot winners.

So you’re saying there’s a chance. . .
by Michael Taylor on Jul 6, 2011 9:41 AM EDT up reply actions
Right.
And there’s a chance Bobby Orr is coming out of retirement, too.
Kick his ass, Seabass!
