yeah holy, picked it up big time this year, actually just realized last year he had a decent season too, havent really paid much attention to MN or staal.
He's thriving now that he doesn't have to put a team on his back. I think the pressure got to him in Carolina. He seems more relaxed in Minnesota, it's a better fit. It's a great deal for Minnesota, Chuck Fletcher gets the W for signing him, that's for sure.
