He's not a top defenseman. He's a twig on skates that gets pushed around.
Food for thought:
EK 65 had that one 101 point season with the Sharks. EK 65 had 56 points with the Pens last year. If you throw out the 101 point season he had more points than any other season with the Sharks. He had 45, 40, 22, 35, and 101. Iād say all things considered he was pretty good on a so so team last year.
Fun fact EK65 was also on the ice for that #3 highlight Crosby assist
I would love to resign pettersson but i dont think they do a long term deal if they are trying to get younger. He's 28. do they sign more than a 4-5 year deal?
Belsky- you are consistently an idiot, you know NOTHING about Hockey. EK has NEVER been good on the power play-EVER! in his ENTIRE career!! So WHY do you keep asking is he going to improve and be a leader on the PP???
As long as Sullivan remains, it doesn't matter, they aren't a playoff team.
