Ya, I remember at the time being confused as to why - if you're trading for a Sharks back-up G - Sutter took some press box warmer I had never heard of in Kiprusoff over Toskala, who at the time was deemed capable of being a legit starter in this league, stuck behind an all-star goalie in Nabokov. Shows what I know...
