Very capable, which he was, is not a "sensation". |
It's also an interesting player vs. player battle to watch this season. We let Ryan go and traded for Pitlick effectively for 4 inches and 15 lbs of difference.
So who will have the better net positive on their team? Ryan or Pitlick?
...and that's even ignoring that we spent a pick on Pitlick.
