Sure. it's not that serious to me. Somehow me stating that if we had a rookie with 8pts in 13 playoffs we would be excited is controversial. If that rookie just put up 2pts in the third period for a comeback win in the Stanley Cup finals we would be excited without a doubt.

The best he would have done would be Brodie, while hemmed in his own zone because Brodie's partner was Engelland.

Going into this much detail completely misses the point. I'm not trying to break down if TT could have cracked our lineup and what he potentially would or wouldn't have done in the playoffs. I'm not saying we should have drafted him. I'm not saying Mark Jankowski sucks. I just find it funny how critical some of you are and how your trying to downplay his success just because he is a player we could have drafted and didn't. Some sour grapes around here.
