Yeah, and you were soooooooo concerned about the future when you won the championship twice (with two different teams I may add). Fact is no one knows how to win the championship with a 75 million dollar payroll in this league because it's never been done. All I know is that today Woywitka is rated 58 and Stajan is rated 61. Woywitka has a whopping 7 assists in 31 games in the AHL this year and has yet to play an NHL game. Stajan had 27 points in 69 NHL games last year and has 23 in 32 AHL games this year. But the cold hard fact is he can't be rerated, yeah he should probably be a 65-66OV rated player, but he isn't. I'm not a commissioner so I don't know what the hell the league plans for ratings so the best I can do is go by what I know now. From all the bitching and complaining thats resulted from last years league wide rerate I highly doubt the league is going to waste time doing it again considering there was no NHL season to base a rerate on. Lombardi has serious injury concerns and has barely skated since taking that elbow from Hatcher. For all I know is he's the next Brett Lindros, and you yourself have said that all the guys on the real life Flames suck and aren't worth their weight in sh*t when it comes to ratings. The pick is far from useless, and Visnevski is the right age and coming off his best NHL season so his rating should improve. Players can be replaced, but time can't. This deal was used to buy me time. The Turco trade last year was brutal I admit it first and foremost. I hardly think I'll find myself complaining about missing the playoffs this year because I traded those three players.
