i agree kam... if we don't end up keeping PEJ i don't understand why we gave away Balkman for nothing.
100% political move. i think that's pretty apparent.
yeah but the political thing would be to keep him on the team... just having him fight for a roster spot & then cutting him later achieves nothing if u ask me... the idea should be to have this kid play games at the Garden, or at least suit up for the team & sit on the bench if nothing else... otherwise why bother? how does that foster any good will w/the fans or even w/his dad? we had a guy in Balkman who could actually play some minutes & give u some hustle & get the crowd into games w/some of his frantic style play... he wasn't a major factor in games but at least he effected some games... we gave that away to let PEJ practice w/this team in camp & then get cut? totally meaningless.
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.
