Wow...that was not that exciting...anyways, both AHL and NHL all-star games are over, i watched parts of both of the games, they were ok...better than any other sports all-star game... I actually think the NHL should go back to the North America vs. The World style of all star game, cause it may actually make the players care alittle more about their team...
Anyways, i've been getting an email from a Janne hater basically telling us that we should give up on Janne... I spoke for the entire Pesonation when i said that we don't care that we are backed up against the wall, we will show determination and dedication... And seriously, could Janne be any worse than the rest of the Pens right now?
Kevin and I had an interesting conversation the other day on whether come trade deadline the Pens will be buyers or sellers... I said sellers, kevins said buyers... Who knows, one thing i know is that at this point i'd rather miss the playoffs than give up more draft picks... But then again, other than drafting the obvious (the lip and ugly), the Pens have not been drafting that well...
If you think back to the 2006 draft... the pens passed on Toews, Nicklas Backstom (we passed on him because of the Penguins dislike for anything from the Scandanavian Peninsula), Phil Kessel, we picked up Jordan Staal who is playing fine, but you cannot compare him to anybody else that was drafted the same year in the top.....
Anyways, it's crunch time for the Pens and Janne... I honestly don't expect Janne to come up to the pens the rest of the year, and next year is up in the air. But seeing that we do have a severe salary cap issue, brining him in as a cheap winger might not be a bad idea...
Anyways...stay tuned...go pens...go janne
