That aside, i think we will see a healthy dose of Anton to increase his trade value over the next few weks

Really? I don't think you are vindicated at all and more trying to push your opinion as fact. IMO he's been by far the best of the 5+ defenders and IMO could possibly replace Giordano as the 4th defenseman. Much better than Sarich or Smith. I think like Moon you have already made up your mind on him and outside of winning a Norris nothing is going to change your opinion of him. He's a good skater and positionally sound. He's a little weak along the boards and coughs up the puck on occasion but most of the time he quietly goes about his business. Couldn't ask for a better depth defenseman IMO.
