1) I don't think many people think he's an upgrade on Wideman, I think most see him as a lateral move (but better fit due to his speed) at 15% of the price. And the $4M difference can fill another hole.
2) I don't give a #### what Nuck fans think - he, and their team, were crap. So what? Different situation. I look more at the track record in Boston. And yes, that was less than stellar. But it wasn't the steaming pile of crap that Vancouver was.
