So you're on board with Tree is the next Pronger?

I think he said it best himself at the beginning of the season about Chara, the same would probably apply to Pronger.

"I would like to surpass and be better than Zdeno Chara,"

Why stop at Pronger? Pronger is his floor

rutherford was the gm who traded pronger.

here's an archived story from back then detailing the "blockbuster" nature of the trade.

"The next Larry Robinson"

Clearly struggling.

We're all hoping he does, but he has a long, long ways to go.

So far so good, he's proved all the doubters wrong including the GM & Coach this season.

Good find. I remember the trade at the time. Well it worked out for both sides just not how they imagined I guess.

That wasn't the expectation. You are twisting things. The story is bringing in a mature but still young Euro developed player who can make an offensive impact. That was the hope after MVP season. To harp on that he would or could not bring anything is kind of crazy.

Nobody new about the birth defect on knee. So don't get all superior about it. A partial tendon cut shouldn't take more then a year. They over played him in pre-season. Result was rest and rehab. He gets back is declared ready after AHL stint and now this set back. That's why you got to feel for him.

Rodin was on a high development wise to come and prove it in the NHL. Like Panarin was and did. Not saying he's the same talent. No one knows until shown. Only similar arc of story if he didn't have the recovery issue. So we can put the book on him away for now. The fragile jokes will follow too. We'll see if there is another chapter to this story next season or not.

I think he's wrong.

There are two others that agree with most of what he writes, unless they're both his alts?

We r on the verge of our 1st ever 1000 pt player.
Most teams cannot claim that.
Lets not taint it here folks

Hank hope u get it against the Panthers👍👍

This was talked about with Codes and ended well. There was no expectation raised that's just your false allegation.

To come in now and post this kind of garbage reaction is a total troll post. You know it. So does the ridicule troll support machine that follow after. They relish this type of negatively. It's not hockey talk. Or discussion.

Still not sure if you are one of their alts eiher. But when you slander, misquote and banter it's obvious what you are doing. It's not fun ribbing either as the difference is clear to all.

Anyone know why Beattle hasn't been rejoicing because Corrado is drawing back into the Leafs lineup? It's a festivus hockey buzz miracle
