    Certainly not surprised.

    I didnt expect the Pens to pay him once he reached that 25 game threshold anyway...

    They are so bad, it does matter a whole lot anyway...
    Let's go PENS!

    Yea, he didn't have a very good record in the NHL.

    Ya...

    He started off fantastic, but I think the quality of players in fron tof him caught up real fast.

    Is he perfect? Certainly not... but for being 19 years old, I'd say he is going to be pretty darn good if they ever put a real NHL-calibur team in fron tof him, after he matures his game a little bit...

    Oh well, in a way it is good.... if he was leading the league in Save % or something, they would have sent him down anyway... at leats this way they have an excuse, and the fans might not complain about the move as much.


    Of course, with Mario and The Kid gone.... who are you gonna pay $50 per ticket to go see?? Alexei Morozov?!?!?
