So with all this in mind I have one last question for you:
Thanks,

This is what really got me... not so much that we got him, but I'm sure others were offering him the rookie max + NHL spot and burn a year off his ELC, and he takes a ATO to play for our minor league team?
really (pleasantly) surprised
