It takes time to get used to a new team, he has been thrown in at the deep end, if he continues to play like last night I for one will be happy.Quote:

Ellerby will be looked at as one of DL's best ever moves based upon what he gave up to get him.
Kyle Quincy has that one beat.Quote:

I think we are looking at long-term fix here.
Scott Stevens he is not. But a month from now, every GM will be looking for a guy just like him: a big tough d-man who can add a little blueline depth. DL scooped the rest of the league on this, give him credit.Quote:

Detroit has been looking for a d-man as well.Quote:

Looks like most of the Florida scouting reports were on target. Ellerby can skate well and has a good eye for passing. He's definitely been the cause of a few turnovers both games, but he seemed more confident and collected in his 2nd game. I think cat fans were right in that he'll play better with more minutes.
