Obviously the shit hit the fan over in forum city from this move. Who cares though, I'm sick of reading the forums.
Metropolit is a solid centerman and a great character guy. Sure he's no Lecavalier, but he'll give you every pint of blood he's got in his body to play at a fraction of the price. Essentially he's like Begin, only he hails from the very wrong side of the tracks and grew up with very little money support, a half-brother who's now in jail for a few terrible crimes, and a loving single-mother who gave him 50 cents every time he scored a goal while playing in his government funded leagues. He's living proof of how hard work and determination will carry you to your dreams.
Here's nice quote from his wife in the Boston Globe a while back:
"He's confident, even though he's had that confidence taken away from him so many times. And now, when I see people get all stressed out over something like, say, being a healthy scratch, I try to tell them, 'Look, it's a journey, and if you deserve it, it will come.'"Habs stole him for nothing. He's under contract until next year too. I pretty much salivate over a line with him centering Stewie and TK.
So welcome to the greatest team in the world, Glen. Sorry but #13 is taken.
