Oh hell, I don't LIKE him either, but I'd sure rather have him playing FOR me than against me. I have no proof but I'd bet a substantial amount of money Clarke brought him in as an enforcer once he realized Donald Brashear is actually a player.
Agree with seyone that Detroit is gonna run out of gas either in the first or second round, too old. I'm surprised they've gotten this far, but then again, they've just now reached the tough part of their schedule.
Shmoo: Normally I'd agree that's too much to give up for a 40 year old BUT,
#1 They HAD to replace Jeremy Roenick on a moments notice and can you think of a better replacement than Adam Oats?
#2 The Flyers have draft picks coming out their ass. For any other team to give up a 1st, 2nd AND 3rd pick would be devastating but the Flyers STILL have more than most teams. Also, concerning the goalie whatisname, he's a hell of a net minder but we've already got two that would be starters for most teams and our minor league team has another hot prospect too.
Oh, did I forget to mention? GO FLYERS!!!
