Their whole goal should be to accumulate and coach smart, reliable, dependable players. To that end, I would look to trade Alexander Semin, whether it's now or down the line, to perhaps add a piece but certainly free up his cap number. He is outrageously skilled, but the Caps have plenty of skill, and I question whether he will grow into a reliable two-way player.

Buccigross has never watched Semin PK.

Once anyone sees Semin pull off a Datsyukian ripoff better than Datsyuk himself, that person will convert. Bucci hasn’t seen it yet.

I just wish we’d all be able to see Semin on PK more. If Bucci would have complained about Semin’s penchant for taking bad penalties then he’d have a somewhat better leg to stand on. Bucci’s EC preview was what I have come to expect from him. Part on target, part off and a little too much love for his Pens.
We’re really spoiled, aren’t we? The world’s top four offensive players (IMO, not including the health factor) are 25 or under. Top offensive defenseman is under 25. Some great goalies (Fleury, Ward, Mason) are under 25.
