what was nashville thinking?

[puck2]

it may not be Mcdonagh/Gomez, but it's getting close. Kevin Klien for a guy who is probably playing his last games in the NHL at age 24. What a steal

good post puck. ranger pre-game show started by highlighting Kevin Klien and what a revelation he has been to the New York Rangers.

What the Preds did to the Caps in the Erat/Latta for Forsberg trade was straight out theft. They now have a stud center who can't even drink legally yet. What a deal.

 

[puck2]

for sure. huge steal

Kevin Klein with the Preds was notorious for
coughing up the puck in the defensive zone;
Trotz, the then Pred coach, saw a chance to get
youth in MDZ and thus the trade was made.

You think Klein has something to prove tonight?

He certainly has been a positive surprise.

I think Kevin Klein was traded because they had Shea Weber as the top righty guy, had just drafted Seth Jones who they saw as the second righty guy, and figured why pay Kevin Klein to sit on the 3rd pair for the next however many years when they could potentially flip him and get a top 4 left handed guy to go with Josi, Weber and Jones. Unfortunately the gamble for them didnt pay off but the rationale was there.

I'm happy he's having succes and he has saved us a couple of times already this year, but if he stays on this pace and scores over 20 I'll post a video of myself jumping into the east river wearing nothing but his jersey.

Not the East River! LOL
