Also find it curious that Stajan, 3 PP goals & 2 PIM through 5 games & even more puzzling, Hagman, 2 goals, 1 assist & no PIM's thru 5 games were benched against Colorado. All when we have prized FA aquisition, Beauchemin whom leads the team with a -5, Jason Blake, 1 goal, 1 assist & -6, John Mitchell, 2 assists & -5 .... I could go on, but I won't.
On the ice, the best players have clearly been Rickard Wallin, Ian White and as much as I hate to say it, Ponikarovsky, whom amazingly is a +4.
The players that brought this team to an impressive preseason record are not all presently on the team. I'm talking about having Stalberg, Bozak, Hanson & Kadri all in the same game. From what I read from I believe Saskhab though; once a player is in Junior, they cannot be recalled by an NHL club?
In conclusion to my morning bitch; what a shit move trading Kubina (3 games, 3 assist, +3) for Exelby (3 games, -1). Just as a refersher, here's a breakdown:
27-Jul-09 Toronto Maple Leafs traded Colin Stuart, Anton Stralman and a seventh-round draft pick in 2012 to the Calgary Flames for Wayne Primeau and a second-round draft pick in 2011.
01-Jul-09 Atlanta Thrashers traded Garnet Exelby and Colin Stuart to the Toronto Maple Leafs for Pavel Kubina and Tim Stapleton.
This is all Kubina could bring in? Pfffffffttttttt .... whavever dude.
