But, that trade almost took us to the promised land. Had he re-signed with us, as all the indications were that he was going to until the last minute, this would have been a mute point. I mean Colby, as much as I loved him, was no Hossa. Tyler Kennedy has taken over Colby's role in the team. Look out for him this year. He is gritty, fast, likes to get his nose dirty, and plays way above his weight. Another of those undersized guys whose heart doesn't match the size of his frame. We just had the misfortune of the timing. Too many players became free agent at the same time, and with salary cap constraints, the departures were inevitable. What makes matter worse for us is not having No.1 and 2 D men for four-six months. Gonchar won't be back till Feb. Ryan Whitney not till Dec. None played a single game this season. Letang is filling up admirably BTW.
