Scoopz,
That Hornqvist deal looks like a great contract for the Preds....
- Jalen
Watch for him to be a flash in the pan...
Someone always scores on a weak offense. Not to undervalue the player, but Torres, Stempniak or Guerin would put up similar numbers if given the same amount of ice time/ role on the team. Just look at what Martin Erat has accomplished.

I like the signing too Jalen, while I haven't seen much of Hornqvist he's looked good from what I have seen of him. it's affordable and if he is a flash in the pan like CA says the Preds should be able to easily ship him out.
