what is funny is that if Niles had made a deal for some non-playoff teams 5th defensemen, and then we go on this losing streak...all of you would be bitching and whining that he disruped the chemistry of this close knit team...trust me..some POS D-man from a team that sucks, would not have helped this team...you make deals, when you can get a Blake or some other guy that would make a difference...as god awful as Rory is...he is unfortunately better than any scrub we would have got in a trade....
