The Gronk will do well in Raleigh and of course he'll get to play with Eric and possibly Jared if he can make the big club. What are the Pens getting back with Sutter? As a Thrashers fan I've seen the kid play and he seems to have a pretty good upside.

WTF... Corvo? again... what next resign Ray?

I'm more comfortable with J. Staal now, with the 10 year deal.

Either we are trying to not go the way of the Yotes, or we needed additional capital for all the off season contract additions. I'll consider it good news either way.
