Haha wasn't baiting you, just making a Ponikarovsky joke.
I loved him 11-12, Poni version 2.0 in 2013 was a disaster though.
I think that trade would have worked out better if we had used that pick on Steve Sullivan in February, instead of Poni, Sullivan had 2 fewer points in 21 fewer games played with us that season.
I was in favor of the second Poni trade and wanted him re signed in 2012 before he left to Winnipeg, while we waited on Parise.
I just never expected him to turn into floating space junk just less than a year later. I even predicted he would be in the KHL within a year after us, he wound up not even playing another year in the league. Straight to the KHL after that, probably cause he couldn't get an NHL contract after that season because he was so horrible.
Is Ponikarovsky currently in the KHL? 8 points in 32 games last season, 15 points in 51 games the season before in 13-14. He's scored 8 goals in 83 games since leaving the NHL, I bet Kalinin had more than that in the last 2 years. Jesus Christ he sucks horribly. You would think he would have been a decent KHL player, he was as bad in the KHL as he was his last season in the NHL.
