Wow, Is this a common term being thrown around in rural hockey communities these days?
PK isn't seen as a true elite talent in a lot of peoples eyes because of his defensive game (or lack there of).
His offensive game is respected by all and is why he won the Norris Trophy. There was a reason that a recent Norris winner was given limited ice time during the olympics (and almost held off the roster entirely).
I do agree that he can be a game-breaker though and seems like a guy you can build a winning team around. I would compare him to Giordano in terms of drive and wanting his team to win.
Montreal is crazy for letting it come to this. If it's a 1 year deal, then pony up the money and hope he wants to sign long term next year.
