I think you missed the point.

Does that mean you think he'll stay on that pace in Ohio? 48 games at the pace he was putting up #'s post trade would put him around 30ish points and +12 or so this season?

I love Team USA guys, so I'd love to see JJ post up that kind of season. But I don't think anybody would call me crazy if I was skeptical to take the over on that kind if +/-.

Definitely an instance I hope I'm wrong.

I can't see anyone being a plus on that team over 48 games. But I do think he will put up better numbers for them than he ever put up in LA...and he will likely be wearing the "C" for them

Manchester is already extremely thin on D as it is. IMO no one should come up to play the D slot and DL should try to get an affordable Dman who has NHL experience. I know the NHL > AHL but I think one or 2 still need another season in Manchester first. Maybe once Mitchell or Scuds leave then sure. (I give at least one of those guys 1 or 2 more years tops with the Kings) For 1 mil or less it wouldn't be a bad idea and hopefully it would be a 2 way deal so he could go to Manchester to help them out. Anyways this is just my opinion.

Oops never mind. Saw he signed with St Louis. I read this first before seeing that heh.

You keep spelling his first name wrong... There's no D in Rany...

Good Reddence.
