I understand people being pissed about bleeding mid-round picks for the Fantenbergs and Forborts of the hockey world ... short-term depth players that really don't move the needle at all. I hate that too. But this is the sort of move I can get behind ... Vladar could potentially be a long-term piece for us. Will be interesting to see if he can take that step from the AHL to regular NHL backup duty. Let's hope we've got a good one here.
