At Blue Notes, Steve Zipay has this..."...how about defenseman Fedor Tyutin earning a gold medal against Canada in the World Championships? Good for him. Maybe the experience will help him progress even more next season. Easy to forget that he played all 82 games this season, finished 11th in the league in hits with 218 and will turn 25 in July...
On available d-men...
There's Wade Redden, Brian Campbell (let other teams overpay), Ron Hainsey, Brooks Orpik, Mike Commodore, John-Michael Liles, Mark Streit. The Panthers didn't lock up RFA Jay Bouwmeester when they had a chance, and you wonder if he's not itching to escape Florida now. Worth exploring. Let's see, Bouwmeester or Michal Rozsival? JB."
...congrats to Tyutin on winning the gold. I feel that Tyutin sometimes gets a bad rap for his short comings on the pp despite the fact that he has no business being there. He's a physical defenseman and that's it. I don't see Pittsburgh putting Brooks Orpik on their power play. Renney is the one who should be criticized, not Tyutin. Hopefully, Sather can bring in a power play point man in the off-season so Tyutin can go back to focusing on playing defense.
