I remember the year before, a lot of San Jose fans were fawning over Kiprusoff, but I played it off as fans overrating their own prosepcts. Then the year we traded for him, he was struggling at the time.
Wasn't the rumour at the time that it could have been either Toskala or Kiprusoff but San Jose decided to trade Kiprusoff instead? Interesting to think how different things would have gone.
