Sanguinetti is one point off the overall OHL defence scoring lead right now and leads the league in defenceman goals.

On Draft Day in the AHL after I took Tobias Enstrom with the last pick in the Third Round of the Junior draft this year Gruven told me that he didn't think he was going to make Atlanta's opening night roster.

He wasn't going to until Don Waddell heard he was drafted by the M's.

I'll start off with mine; being the heavy investment I put into Backstrom, which not a few people felt was over-payment. Backstrom is second in rookie scoring currently with 44 points. It's also kind of lost that I got Jere Lehtinen out of that deal, who I turned into Loui Eriksson and Valterri Filpulla (If we want to get into the worst trades, we can look at what I traded Erikkson for lol).
Also, for Serge, don't forget our $100 bet that within the next three years Backstrom will have a 70 point season and Sanguinetti will have a 35 point season. Backstrom's on pace for 65 points this season, so it looks pretty likely he'll hold up his half of it. Sanguinetti is one point off the overall OHL defence scoring lead right now and leads the league in defenceman goals.
