    I agree that is is fair to be a little pessimistic about not bringing in one of the top proven scorers. But... You completely blow your point by then raving about Domask's scoring.

    Why do you assume we are going to do booty ball again? We did it because it worked for Domask. Brad is good at letting guys play to their strengths.
