Well it's a bit mean to suggest it's my faith in Axel. Jeff has a pretty solid track record of finding SIM chemistry in the second half of the season in past years. IIRC the last three years he's been outside the playoff picture half way through the year and has had a really solid second half. Today it's like flopping the 15 pick for the 16 pick I think. I guess we spin the roulette wheel and see where it lands. Overall I think the Rangers are a better team, but the Flames have Kipper and are in a weaker conference. I could get burned, I could make out well, but why not gamble a bit, it's fun and the clause was a bit goofy anyways.

In the other deal it was a tougher one to do. I like Alzner a lot, but I do wonder if he'll ever have enough of an offensive game to be become a top end guy. I think he'll play and have a good NHL career but I wonder if he'll be more of say a Cory Sarich than a Robyn Regehr. Wideman has played pretty well in the NHL taking a lot of minutes and still staying pretty effective. If he can play that way all year than he's a legit top 4 guy. Ruutu...well him and Simon on the same team is just funny. Legwand is a second line center but he's entering his prime years and maybe he can be like Daymond Langkow and find a way to pick his game up that little extra bit. The Habs first hopefully ends up high enough to get me a shot at a good player or a nice option in the trade market.
