Just happened to browse some threads cuz its the off-season.
I must say, this is quite amusing. Only in a hockey-mad fan forum are arguments sprung from a very low key free-agent signing.
Seriously, who the heck cares if he "will truly be worth a second-rounder". I don't think anyone is qualified to argue that right now until we see how he is a few years down the line.
Now to settle this, my view is he "will be truly worth a second-rounder", because he will likely be no better than our 2nd rounder in 1985 (Joe Nieuwendyk), and really, he cannot be any worse than our 2nd rounder in 2003 (Tim Ramholt).... LOL
