if letang was that great , he wouldve made the team. and are you suggesting that his offensive output is goin to be more than a guy who lead all nhl defensmen in points for some of last years season (gonchar)?..no, he wont. Letang will get his chance. im sure he’ll see some time on the big club this year.
also, gonchar is a slow starter and he might not always make the best decsisions in the zone, but he’s well-worth having and more than makes up for it. if you want to pin Anaheims (and carolinas, for that mater) ability to cycle in our zone at will, on Gonchar then i think you need to take another look. plus, fleury has been soft in thes first two games. its early tho.
