Good point. I remember a big game down the stretch where Sabres beat Wild i want to say in OT. Stafford might've got the hat trick on the OT winner? Might be off because Marc Andre Gragianni did something in that game as well. - Hatboro_Swords
I was at that game. It was Stafford in OT, it came out of nowhere.

unproven kid wouldn't of been enough - DirtyDan
But a first round pick and an unproven kid goalie drafted in the seventh round was “enough”.
But that’s neither here nor there, Lundell was/is highly regarded by FL, (imo) they would never have offered him in the deal. At least not without Reinhart agreeing to sign an extension right at time of the deal. Zito traded for reino with no guarantee that he would ever play for the Panthers.

I coined the name SSTT. I knew it all along. Yeah right. I can't believe how good he is. I hope it isn't one of those flash in the pan Drew Stafford years. Maybe around goal #25 I was thinking it still could be, but there's no way. He makes everyone on the line better. I say stick with Skinner and Tuch on that line next year too. Goalofsson should play with Krebs and someone like Asplund to do the dirty work.
Props to you. You willed him to be good for your hate of ROR. - Hatboro_Swords
I think there's a huge difference between his season this year and Stafford's. Stafford never drove play, never went to the front of the net. He was a perimeter player benefitting from Roy and Vanek. I saw it that one season and I always said trade him while his value is high, personally.
Tage looks like a legit 1st line player. He is huge, he can stick handle, skate and his shot is insane.
