In related news, Sleek has to learn how to spell "Evgeny Artyukhin". Anybody know what his nickname was in Tampa?
The Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday picked up left wing Drew Miller and a third-round pick in next year’s draft in exchange for wing Evgeny Artyukhin.
So long, Drew -- you definitely were a quirky player, but you were smart enough defensively and served as a good utility guy. Let's not forget that Drew Miller was on the ice for a pivotal goal against the Senators in the Cup Finals with the Selanne-McDonald line when Kunitz was hurt.
Drew 1, Ryan 0.
Welcome to Anaheim, Artoo. Go Ducks.

I think he was a decent enough checking line guy and PKer — he needed to be a bit larger, though, as I don’t believe he ever won a physical battle in Anaheim.
So my list of PK forwards now is this: Marchant, Brown, Nokelainen, Carter… May need to get another one, or else some offensive stars may get some SH minutes. And while Getzlaf may be in the cards anyway, he’s shown so far to be a poor PKer, results-wise.

when i think of getz on the pk i think of a opposing forward stealing the puck and getz putting his head down and “trying” to run to recover while the opposing forward leaves him in the dust..
i.e. his acceleration rate is very poor

Bar stool Bob does, from his comments on the trade:
We’ll see what Artie, I guess they call him Artie, we’ll see what he can adapt to with Randy.

Drew was on when
Selanne-McDonald line when Kunitz was hurt.
And now Selanne is the only guy from that sexy foursome left.
Nobody cares about your opinion.

R2 better be a good fighter, since now he’s a Duck and every time I see his name I imagine it in my head being said with the same inflection as the “hadouken” attack from Street Fighter.
UNRELATED: Handel is the most overrated composer ever...

If you say Goooo-Artyukhin with the same inflection, it sounds like the Dragon Punch.

Well that reinstates the hatred lost when you guys got rid of Pronger (Artyukhin destroyed Doughty when the Kings played Tampa last year, and the Kings famously did nothing about it). Hopefully will have some good fisticuffs as a result.
