The other thing is to the person that hates Letang on the pp. Yeah he's not Gonchar on the pp but Gonchar would get smoked like Maatta sometimes when a guy would go with speed along the boards towards the net. Point is every player has their "flaws".

Jesse Marshall did an article last year on Schultz vs. Letang in the PP and they’re basically the same production wise.

Tidbits on my chat with GMJR:

• Thinks Pettersson will be Dumoulin-type player
• Has total belief that Murray will bounce back and isn’t interested in trading him
• Didn’t think it was fair to keep Sprong in current situation
• Didn’t use this trade to set up another

Also...

GMJR on Marcus Pettersson: "I don't want to put a timeframe on it, but in a year or two, we believe he can be a Brian Dumoulin kind of player. And I'll take a lot of those kinds of defensemen on my team."

I have to be honest, I thought for certain this was a primer trade, but JR says it's not.

Pretty sure that's what the Ducks said about him after the draft in 2014.

Couldn't they have at least traded for a RH D? It'll be interesting to see what Sprong can do out west. 2nd line to start?

With each passing game it's obvious they're really missing a RH D. I'm kind of glad this Sprong thing is over. Really sick of the subject.

I’m a huge Letang fan. One of the few guys on this team that plays hockey with a big set of balls strapped to him. I was laughing the other night when Malkin, yes Malkin the second best player on our team was coming to everyone’s aid. That’s how pussified this team has become.
