Yeah well a few think i'm ripping him off for gonchar. I don't think I am. The way I see it is he's getting three assets back for one great player. Honestly I don't think Leclaire is worth a bag of pucks. Bulin is 12 games above 500 his Save percentage and G.AA are among the leagues best and on top of that goalies of his calibre like a Belfour or Cujo play well into their late 30s.

Bulin is only 36 and his groin injury is by all accounts minor. The general consensus by Hawks fans on HF is Bulin is their clear cut #1. Although Huet was brought in to claim that role, he hasn't been able to take the job away.

Draft Picks do have value in the league imo especially the top 5 picks. SOB is not chopped liver either. He was the pims runner up last year and is on pace for over 200 this year runner up only to Carcillo.

It's obviously not such a cut and dried issue as they make it out to be as I've had a few others on the yahoo board claim I'm the one getting hosed too.
