I think perhaps most importantly this move brings some competitiveness, will to win and sandpaper to our roster. We're certainly going to be an extremely tough team to play against provided we can show some discipline. I also feel that Downie has matured quite a bit over the last five seasons. He's going to be smarter about the penalties and also better offensively than we'll ever remember.

1. I miss kapanen. That dude was awesome. If they have a chance, I hope they draft kasperi.

2. Mesz gets a lot of air time in that clip haha

I'd love Kasperi. After drafting Couturier, Laughton, and Morin I'd love to see us draft a high octane offensive player

Talbot was at his best on the 4th line whereas Downie can play anywhere in the lineup. He's definitely matured and will bring more grit and scoring. No brainer. Not sure if they'll do anything else or not but most likely.....

In the video, it appears that Downie really only gets hit twice...three times at the absolute most.

Hahaha, I read the title and thought, wait, we could have Lappy back as a PLAYER?!?!?!?!!?

Stupid 3 year old articles...

Sorry. :)

Sounds like Downie doesn't have a broken bone after all...

"On the injury front, the status of Steve Downie (concussion) was upgraded from being out indefinitely to being day-to-day."

From ESPN:

"The deal that saw Downie return to the team that drafted him in exchange for Max Talbot still smacks of an untold back story (it has been reported a preseason feud with captain Gabriel Landeskog was the impetus)..."
