Mika Zibanejad
Louis Leblanc
2012 1st Rounder (SJS)

Paul Stastny

[Florida Chris]

Florida confirms

[bma]

I think it's reasonable.

[The BBKL Insider]

No overpayment here

Even steven

[Chris]

I told Florida Chris that Leblanc isn't a slouch. He has enormous potential and opportunity next year with Gomez as his only competition for the second line. Desharnais should move back to the 3rd line at some point I think.

Maybe just me... But I think it's overpayment; but as Kareem can tell ya, won't find me on the PS bandwagon.

I LOVE this deal for Chris, Paul Stastny is a stud, I expect him to get back to his career ppg rate, and soon. Perhaps a change of scenery would do him some good as well.

[Chris]

It took me several months to extract him from Chris, but given the resources I've been utilizing, I think I finally have that FOW guy I've badly lacked when I took over this team. I fully expect Stastny to rebound as the Avalanche have been mediocre the last few years and it's hard for anyone to be enthusiastic to come to the rink every day when you're losing.

Ooooooh aaaaaaah, it's like watching fireworks!!

[Arian The Insider]
