And it's worth mentioning that he was far from that when he was here (although perhaps he would have fared better under Carlyle) and we have an abundance of young blueliners coming along and enough veterans that we could afford to make that trade and what we got in return was a steal - particularly the throw in contract dump of a forward in whom the coach and management had lost confidence.
Here, all he does is contribute.
Even if Beauch's play had improved here we had a greater need that Lupul fills.
Well, I'd imagine that Anaheim, with Selanne, Ryan and Perry to score on the wing probably feel the same way in reverse about the respective needs Lupul and Beauchemin filled. I mean it's not like Lupul was as good with Anaheim as he's been here either.
