Rooney has good speed and has played smart, sound hockey. Frankly, I think he will look great with Backlund and Coleman (if that is where he lines up), and all the talk about his past possession numbers is meaningless because, with those guys, he will have great numbers.

Well he's signed for two seasons, so I'll guess we'll get a very long look and see who is right on this one.
