I'm pretty excited for Klimchuck. He originally got lost in the shuffle with guys like Gaudreau, Monahan and Bennett all coming up, which is probably a good thing. It lets him develop properly and not get rushed with too much pressure from media/fans and management (Baertschi).
I would be pretty happy if the chain of events went Kent Nilsson for a pick that turned into Joe Nieuwendyk, who was traded for a prospect (Iginla), who was traded for a pick (Klimchuck) who turned into something. Pretty neat story. All Klimchuck has to do is make the Hall of Fame now.....lol
