@ducksuck,
Seriously?? Anyone that thick-headed is just asking to be called out. Man.

Even though he’s getting old and banged-up, Modin has more skill and talent in one hand than Ivanans has in his entire hulking body.

i know i was talking with someone on here about how Modin should play and he was saying that Ivananas would be better for the team well i won’t go and rub in their face but really he is better than the Jones deal if the kings don’t get the cup all the kings do is pay the contract.. really 2 goals 1 assist and we don’t give up anything and if we do it has to be a 7th I’m sorry but what a great trade Halpern will come around but Purcell(who sucks) and a 3rd round for him is more than a 7th and we probably won’t even get to the finals let alone win it so great trade i love it more experience and great game last night GO KINGS!!!

@Dominick,
Yes, in particular I recall that one dimwit called DL “the most overrated GM in the league.” I hope he’ll be man enough to step up when the Kings actually have to part with that 7th Rounder for Modin. ;-)

Seriously, Modin has already justified the trade of a low pick for him, just in what he’s done since he came over. He’s contributed beyond what anyone could reasonably have expected, and he’s shown that he’s hardly the broken-down, washed-up wimp that some folks in Columbus thought they were giving up.

What impresses me is that he has scored both of his goals without having to tap into what is supposedly the one weapon he has left, his booming slapshot. Both of his goals have come on the backhand, which means that he’s going to the net and using his size where it does the most damage. That should make him a good complement for Fro’s puck-possession skills.
