What do you all think about this trade.

I would like to see some stst on this kid,so if anyone has any please post :skeptical

havent found many stats on him but someone has to have them.From what i've heard is that he is a big strong tough kid that can handle himself which makes zed expendable. Plus Sutter always seems to be getting after zed for dumb thing and also opens a spot for a younger kid to step into the mix.Also never under estimate sutter seems to do well in most trades that he makes. Boy sure have noticed one thing though is that red deer is getting alot bigger and will be tough to play against.

I always thought 2 things about Zet. One, that he would be a steady d-man and two, provide some heavy weight toughness as he got older.

To that end, he had no puck carring skills and as of last year, the only thing he seemed to be able to do consistantly was fire the puck off the glass, normally for a dumb icing call. Secondly, he didn't fit the heavy weight bill either by choice or statue.

Hopefully he can provide leadership and improve his skill level under a different set of circumsances, that is a new team and new coach.

well i really didnt like zetariuk...i think one of the main reasons he got noticed was that he played with dion..but thats just my opinion lol

I agree that Zets didn't do a whole lot to make magic happen. With this year forecasting a lot of building for the Rebs, hopefully young Klotz can fit in well. I think this trade could work out well for us.
