Kobasew got a lot of attention when he had a great training camp, but Button couldn't sign him so he went to juniors.
IIRC there was very little fanfare before Nieuwendyk, Hull or Fleury joined the team. Maybe because our team was a lot better than. If Sven is even half as good as those forwards we'll be doing well.
