NeverForgetMac25 483 Report post Posted July 3, 2008 $1.5 is a shade spendy for BGL, but a good pickup to watch over their skill guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shannyfan1414 0 Report post Posted July 4, 2008 I'm surprised that the pens didn't bring him back. I thought that he did a nice job there of watching over the Kid. So do the Pens have a tough guy anymore? No more GL or Roberts. Is there somone that i'm forgeting about? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
