Heh. I don't think he's the answer either, but I was painting an "ideal scenario" where he was not injury prone, he'd be worth a sniff.

Yeah without the injuries maybe.. But then again I'd consider Picard just as good if not better and he is only 23, so we should be ok, as long as we sign a d-man here and there in the next couple of years... I don't see that being too much of a problem..

I would not get him at the expense of a better option. Like one of the Vancouver d's mentioned in the other thread.

Hell no. I don't think anyone mentioned 1st or 2nd. I said no higher than a 3rd.

PROS for TOR:
- Gaurantee yourself a 1st overall pick
- save a few million dollars in cap space
- lose him at end of season
- gets another top 20 pick likely

PROS for OTT:
- gets a goalie that can win you a game
