Granted Niskanen was more horrible than what Goose is for us now, but he was thrust into a major role way too soon- let's not forget that- and seeing how well he's doing in Pittsburgh even when he's not producing, is pretty obvious.
i guess to me it seems easier to me to show the patience for a player to return to a proven level than it is to wait for a player who's never or hardly been there. it is an interesting parallel that both players performed better in pitt... what does that say about the rest of our team/ system?
