Jim at Hockeybird is talking of the troubled Tom Poti:
There have been abundant rumors that Poti might be dealt, but it seems as if there are few buyers out there for a $2.36 million dollar defenseman that isn't great defensively and only has a couple of assists in eight games. As Larry Brooks points out in his NY Post article today, it might prove virtually impossible to move Poti at that price, especially since "the Blueshirts didn't get so much as a nibble on him during the Deadline Purge of '03."I always subscribe to the theory of "where there is smoke, there is fire", and unfortunately for Poti, there are reasons why there are no bidders for him, and there are reasons why fans in both of the only two cities in which he has played despise him.
I wonder if when Poti left Boston University he ever thought he was on his way to becoming the Ed Whitson of the NHL.
