Interesting because you love PJ and he didn't play a complete game. He was a 1 trick pony. And for a defensive F, he wasn't even very good on the PK. For years he was the B's #1 pk F, and for years they were in the bottom half of the league in PK %.
Shawn Thornton was a 1 trick pony.
Noel "6 Points" Acciari is a 1 trick pony.
So can we please stop with this "complete game" bunk? A "2way" player means they can play offense and defense. There are guys on the team who are as offensively "irresponsible" as some of the offensive guys that are "1 trick ponies" are defensively.
It's fine if you as a coach, gm or organization believes that a player who is a one way player defensively is better than a 1 way player offensively. I mean, I disagree, but at least be honest.
And again, I have no problem with trading Donato or getting back Coyle.... good deal. But perhaps the reason this team has the same number of championships in the last 45 years as the Carolina Hurriances is because of this kind of thinking that a guy who is a black hole on offense is actually a "2 way player".
