You are right, I did say that. I was really really high on Welch last year, but I really cooled on him. I still would have liked to not trade him because Iām afraid he is going to go Markus Naslund on us, but I think we have an abundance of young offesnive defensemen, so losing him really wonāt kill us.
haha. i agree. bravada def knows his Pens though, i agree on alot of what you say (except for maloneā¦lol). yelo69, not sayin i dont agree with alot of what youre sayin, but it sounds like you think we are a cup team right now and i dont believe thats the case. i think we are close but i dont see this team gettin passed the 2nd round. i hope im wrong though.
The team that Iām really afraid of after the trades today is Buffalo. They are hurting up front with Drury getting KOād, Briere being a little banged up, and others, but picking up Zubrus could be killer. That deal may be the Doug Weight deal of last year that put the Canes over the top. My concern with Buffalo is they picked up Ty Conklin. Ty Conklin? He got shit on in the finals last year. If Miller gets tired or even remotely injured, they are fucked.
San Jose gets Guerin. Wow. That is just adding fuel to the fire. Guerin, Thornton, Cheechoo, Marleu, plus they have Ehrhoff on the blue line and just picked up Rivet, fuck me, they are going to be really tough.
No, not saying a cup team yet, but closeā¦The trades today are short term[this season]. Hopefully they will do what they need to this off season, then let the fun beginā¦as long as they donāt Rooney out on usā¦
agreed.
