-Those 3 names are irrelevant,they were brought in as rentals and we either didn't have the cap room to re-sign them or didn't want to.
-Sulzer and connauton wouldn't make this teams top 8. stop crying.
-the chances of 4th round picks making it are somewhere around 12%
-the second might end up stinging a bit but MG had to improve the team and that was a good gamble compared to what jagr,Igninla,Boumeester got.
C0ho played 12 playoff games 8 months before the trade... he was useless (1 assist in 12 games). At least Kassian could bang and crash.
Well if you went by Penners 2.5 seasons as a king compared to Kassians 2.5 seasons its pretty close...
Penner had 117 games 11 goals 37 points 63 PIM
Kass had 116 games 18 goals 30 points 149 PIM
Truth of the matter is Penner isn't a good comparison, he is slower and doesn't hit or fight very much at all. he uses his big immovable body and linemates a lot like a poor mans Joe Thornton. Put him on the 3rd or 4th line and he puts up worse numbers than kass.
