Hats off HailMcJesus: great proposal that gets a good discussion going.
Most Wild fans
appear to overvalue Spurgeon, but that's because when you watch him on a regular basis, you realize how damn good of a defenseman he is. Number gazers on the stat sheets have no idea how effective he is, even against the big guys in the Western Conference.
He looks like a little boy, still, but he plays a smart 2 way defensive game.
That said, I think if I were the Wild GM, I would take that offer. The Wild are thin on prospects, and JP would be a nice add.
This pic always cracked me up - Spurgeon after his 1st goal. Prototypical NHL d'man there.
