Pick ‘Em (Now With 20/20 Hindsight!): Mo Or Emmy

I think it’s fair to say that when the Caps traded Steve Eminger to the Philadelphia Flyers at last year’s draft and subsequently used the pick acquired in the deal to snag John Carlson, it was hailed as a good (and potentially great) move by GMGM.

I think it’s also fair to say that when an arbitrator awarded Shaone Morrisonn a one-year, $1.9 million contract later in the summer, many folks were surprised (and outside of Mo and his agent, not pleasantly so).

Since then, Emmy has been traded again (to Tampa Basement) and Mo has played a bit below expectations (though he has bounced around from blueline partner to partner, and playing with Mike Green and Sean Collins are two vastly different experiences).

The question, then, is knowing what you know now, who would you rather have right now – Mo or Emmy?

Here are some numbers:

	GP	G	A	P	+/-	PIM	PPG	SHG	GWG	GTG	SOG	PCT
Shaone Morrisonn	38	1	3	4	-2	32	0	0	1	0	22	4.5

	GP	G	A	P	+/-	PIM	PPG	SHG	GWG	GTG	SOG	PCT
Steve Eminger	45	4	14	18	3	32	2	0	0	1	56	7.1

And some more:

	GP	Hits	BkS	GvA	TkA	Corsi	TOI/G	SH TOI/G	PP TOI/G
Shaone Morrisonn	38	55	52	15	10	9.9	17:43	2:52	0:03

	GP	Hits	BkS	GvA	TkA	Corsi	TOI/G	SH TOI/G	PP TOI/G
Steve Eminger	45	44	64	17	6	1.2	16:50	2:22	2:15

And perhaps the most important number of all:

	2008-09 Salary
Shaone Morrisonn	$1,900,000

	2008-09 Salary
Steve Eminger	$1,200,000
