I don't think I would even take Sustr over Riikola...and we have him buried so, no. I don't think we need any defensive depth with Freidman, POJ, Riikola as your 7/8/9 batch. I mean, if we're tapping into our reserves that much, we have other issues.
On Rust, can anyone tell me who the last team to trade their #2 wing AND win a Cup was?
The goal is the Cup. Period. They are #2 in the division and just put a beating on Tampa and played Carolina exceptionally well. They are in the mix, I don't give a good god damn f*** what their age is, who is a UFA, and what our pick total in the coming draft is, nor do I care about the current strength of our prospect pool.
