Once they are off the team he might as well never cheered for them.

It'd be pretty interesting to go back to the NHL Season Long thread and see how many NISKANEN's!!! he dropped.

Just simply untrue, I love and continue to love a lot of our players including Orpik, not my fault he's past his prime and sucks arse now. Just stating the truth, he is pretty bad now and had a major knee injury to end the season in the playoffs to boot.

I said just a page or two back that Niskanen is a good player, but again, you overpaid and gave him a 7 year deal worth almost 6 per, that is insane for the player he is, good, not great. He was worth 5 million tops, I personally wouldn't go over 4.5 for him but that's me I know him a lot better than you do. There's not a writer/website out there that doesn't agree with that, him being overpaid for his talent level.

And most of the shite I say I just reiterate from twitter. I've liked all of our signings, sorry. NHL.com writer said we won the day yesterday, and I didn't even agree with that I thought the Stars probably won the day but maybe he was talking free agent signings only in which Spezza wouldn't count idk. Point is, I'm not the only one that says the same or similar and not just Pens fans either.

I was going to dislike it if we signed Kumelin to go with Malkin, for example. Was praying we didn't do that with all the rumors saying we wanted him.
