Among the many things wrong with this - Ek, 29 is not young, most players peak from about 23-27 and almost all start to decline when they hit 30.

This is like Richard Park all over again, though not quite as bad.

Not many, hopefully - considering the completely unnecessary semicolon and the fact that he said "erodes the said credibility".

Both are telltale signs of someone without a true understanding of the language trying their hardest to sound like a masterful writer.

How many times did you read this over before hitting submit, just to be sure there wasn't a single spelling or grammar mistake?

No. some other writer referred to Andrei Markov as an "elite" dman...people on here throw around the term "elite" or "superstar" and it really takes away from the true superstars which are the top 20-30 players(maybe 40)

superstar is a big stretch, but this literally might the first time ive ever agreed with ek.

michalek has a ton of elite tools, but his inconsistency is maddening. I don't get it. dude should be a 70+ guy a year. at least a 60 guy.

39 this year?? jesus

He will go to Buffalo.

Why? Because Tim Murray

- buffalofan19


What's to even say Tim Murray would bring him just because he was in Ottawa doesn't automatically mean he's coming to Buffalo? He knows very well about his injury history and his lack of production.

I suggest you change the headline to is Milan Michalek one of the best ufas available.....
- mykokes


I agree with you here. I think maybe the title was intended to spark interest, because we all know its quite silly to say hes near superstardom.

cmon' jabroni!
