Yeah and then we can sign Daigle & Stefan and we're all good.


Rundblad was a mid-1st rounder who had maintained his value over the past 2 years.
Turris was a high 1st rounder who has done just about everything he could over the past 4 years to diminish his value.

So when Turris puts up a 60 point pace the remainder of the season and continues to produce at that level moving forward will you admit you were wrong in assessing his talent?

in your eyes but your eyes dont matter.

There was a lot of interest in Turris so obviously a lot of GMs thought he still had potential

and just about everything he could? Na that would be Filatov

You mean the Penguins have so many injuries they're icing an AHL team (+ Malkin), and Fleury is just being bombarded on a nightly basis, right?

I'm sure that's what you meant.

Apparently not enough. Regardless of production all I've seen is a player that's worth something. That's what I saw before he got to Ottawa as well.

The Pens line up is hard to look at right now. Hasek in his prime wouldn't fair much better.

No, I will continue to deny that he has any talent whatsoever... and will continue to bemoan the loss Rundblad after he's long since flamed out of professional hockey and become a balding, overweight, burn-out, beer leaguer at the age of 29.

12/17 will be a day that will live in infamy as the day we got Munson'ed!

Fleury is an average goalie that plays for a great team. Not sure why people keep holding him up as a star.
