As long as its not Jeff Finger 2.0, you should be OK.

That was one of the biggest head scratching signings in a long time. I remember saying who?

That already happened. His name is Andrew MacDonald.

Nah. Finger was a much better defenseman than AMAC could ever hope to be.

Rissling was a nut case.
I remember being at the game when Michel Dion got a puck right between the eyes. He fell straight back, but still finished the period. The masks back in those days didn't help much, but without it .he may have been killed.

Good point. I guess AMac needs his own category. So sad...

Seriously, anyone know why Anaheim scratched Belesky the other night? As an armchair GM, I am interested.

I believe it was a 2nd and a 4th. The second was traded with the other second we had to move up and draft Ho' Sang.

What do you guys think of Ho Sang? He's definitely got skill, but I have a feeling he'll need to mature a lot before he can step onto NHL ice.

He looks like he's either:

a) poopting his pants
b) Watching someone get mauled by a bear
c) Strung out on coke

Then again, since the 3 aren't mutually independent, it could be a combo.

That seems to be the consensus on him. He's a little bit of a project has to put on some weight and muscle like any other kid coming up through the ranks. For a late first in a weak draft I liked the pick. Has incredible talent just has to harness his energy a bit.

I don't know why, I just get the feeling that he has a little bit too much Max Domi in him. At some point in the NHL, Domi's gonna mouth off to the wrong guy and end up eating through a straw for 6 weeks. At least I hope that happens to him.

MAF is leading the league in shorthanded save percentage. Just wanted to add that, because his "nice" season (two days in a row with that half-hearted compliment) shouldn't be gauged simply on ES SV %.
