Nah, not the superstar

Blues continue to make moves, though.

ST. LOUIS – St. Louis Blues President John Davidson announced today they have acquired forward T.J. Hensick from the Colorado Avalanche in exchange for forward Julian Talbot.

Hensick, 24, played in seven games for Colorado last season, recording three points (1g, 2a) and played in 58 games last season for Lake Erie of the American Hockey League, scoring 20 goals and adding 50 assists for 70 points. In 2008-09 he played in 61 games for the Avalanche and recorded 21 points (4g, 17a). The 5’10”, 190 lb. Howell, Michigan native was originally drafted by Colorado in the 3rd round (88th overall) of the 2005 NHL Entry Draft.

Talbot, 25, played in 76 games in 2009-10 for Peoria and recorded 32 points (17g, 15a). He has spent the last three seasons in Peoria.

you son of a....

Oh, come on.

As a Pens fan there should be no way that you actually thought it was Max.

The Pens would give up Crosby before Max.

nah, i was pretty sure it wasn't max. too important to the lockerroom. and there's that tool that shows me the first few words of a thread before i click on it....but, there was a moment.

Julian has got mad skills! Never heard of Max, though. Cousin or something?

 

[quoipourquoi]

Oh, fuck that, Colorado! Hensick was awesome on the Monsters and never got the chance to succeed in Denver.

meh, st louis won, but hensick wasn't really gonna fit in with the big boys anyway with Stastny-Duchene-O'Reilly up the gut for years, so I'm not gonna have any heartache over it, doubt he would have been qualified anyway
