This makes me really happy, and shines some specific light on the Rivet move earlier. Klesla is a good D man, very reliable and a steadying influence on the kids. And as such he's been untouchable. There are rumors every year that there were teams interested in him, but they just couldn't give him up. Now Rivet should be that voice of experience. Hate to see Rusty go, but to make an omelet, you gotta break some eggs.
Putting Upshall back with Umberger right at a time when Calvert is coming into his own is freaking awesome. Those guys will be VISIBLE energy. I will take that any day of the week.
Jackets now have forwards out the Wazoo. Huselius and Voracek suddenly became outside looking in guys...
And Lepisto is very much like Klesla, just younger.
