He was a part of the Jagr trade... While Kris Beech was the main piece of that trade, I found Lupischuk to be intriquing because of the Pen's need for a PowerPlay QB-type defenseman... someone who can score from the blueline... we haven't really had one since Larry Murphy... you might say Sergei Zubiv, but he never shot the puck!

I really hope Lupischuk continues to develop!
