remind me…what did we get for that draft pick we sent San Jose’s way?

Caps got SJ’s 2007 second round pick (which they then traded to Philly for their 2007 third round pick (#84-Phil Desimone) and 2008 second round pick (#58-Dmitri Kugryshev)) and 2008 second round pick (#57-Eric Mestery).

So the Caps got the picks used on Desimone, Kugryshev and Mestery for the pick used on Petrecki.

One of those guys that never really could put it together and become something special…

Interesting player, played his best with Ovie (no surprise) and still has a scoring touch. He had a 4 goal game earlier this year, so he still has that potential.

Never seemed to live up to the potential though….

Didn't he play on the same line as Lindros and leclair

in Philly?

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words—"mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

Hey may have at times, but the main guy with Lindros and Leclair was Renberg.

Remember when Hugs called Zubie “the complete package?” Good times.

He was really here for 6 years? Wow.

Football's boring. Get over it.

I remember rooting for this guy back in the day. I was sure he was going to turn into our next big-time player. He would show moments of brilliance, but they were few and far between. Very frustrating.
