Brett might be a good player.....but let another GM and organisation decide. Would any other GM mention BS's progress in the same breath as Pelech? This quote reminds me of a scene out of brokeback mountain:

“Both he and Brett, both turning 20 this year, are doing a great job playing in this league. It’s not easy, but it helps that they have each other and both are from a hockey background. They handle the lifestyle change very well.’’

I wish i knew how to quit BS....

Is there anyone in QC land who can add some colour whether there is anyone else who is "doing a great job playing in this league"?

I want to puke.
I will preface my comments by saying that Sutter played an excellent game this past Wednesday. However, he has had maybe four or five good games all season, but aside from that he has looked completely out of place. In my opinion, he should not be in the AHL. He rarely sees more than five shifts a period, unless McGill is throwing one of his tantrums and sitting down some players. I have noticed a little improvement, but there is absolutely no comparison between how far Pelech as come this season and how far Sutter has come. I wouldn't be afraid to put Pelech in a sixth or seventh D spot on the big club right now. Pelech makes mistakes, but he stays cool and is able to correct them immediately. Sutter is, as far as I'm concerned, just taking roster spot that could be occupied by Ryan Donally or Adam Cracknell.
