Seems to me he fits the identity of this team; a still relatively young guy, obviously talented, and devoted to a team for the majority of his career that was in a "rebuild" and worked with the coaching staff and GM to try and make it happen. With 19 goals and 40 points this year on the CBJs for Chrissakes. B-Rich has roughly the same and he's playing for the first place team (which may or may not deserve to be in first place, but, still). I don't hear about him being a head-case, or injury prone, or any of the negatives that have come along with other acquisitions before (Gabby, Jagr, etc). I really don't see that much of a downside.Petehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11475304953684560462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169155003164451698.post-29635929531967053902012-02-19T10:38:54.096-05:002012-02-19T10:38:54.096-05:00As much as I'd love to see this happen as it m...As much as I'd love to see this happen as it makes more sense than Nash, sadly Nash is the more typical target for The Incredible Invisible GM.<br /><br />Blow Jackets get Dubinsky, Kreider, DelZotto, and a high draft pick or two. We get Nash, and his contract, and the attendant expectations. Lots of mediocre play follows coupled with restricted player movement a-la 2007-09 salary cap, and Dolan buys the GM a new cigar for making sure the "brightest stars always shine on Broadway", thus ensuring justification for high ticket prices paying for the MSG refit.<br /><br />And, of course, the kids will go to the land of Buckeyes and turn into solid players to insult us further.

Ryan Kesler. Both players has 8 GvA and Kesler (53GP) has 32 TkA and Pahlsson (57GP) has 33 TkA.<br /><br />Pahlsson's Avg TkA/Game would today rank as #3 behind Callahan and Stepan and ahead of names like Richards and Dubinsky.Joakimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12032598260298470701noreply@blogger.com
