This deal has really grown on me too. I'm admittedly jealous of other teams who have been able to deploy young hotshot goalie prospects and have them perform well if not very well. We haven't done that since... Mike Vernon?
Seriously, every single one has either busted or plateaued before moving elsewhere. Kidd was just average (IIRC), and Kipper was in his late twenties by the time he came here...
