Sakic is back

Patrick Kane's idol will come back for one more season. Colorado Avalanche star Joe Sakic has announced he'll come back for a 20th season after spending most of the summer mulling retirement. Class act. Great player.

The Sabres will see him Oct. 25 in the Pepsi Center, the site of some political meeting this week.

Plenty of comments in the story from Sakic's agent, Winnipeg-based Don Baizley. He's also the agent for Teppo Numminen.

Now the hockey world awaits a decision from Mats Sundin. (Yawn.)
