L.Sweatt
Since Angus has been talking up Lee Sweatt and making heady comparisons to Rafalski, thought I'd see what people think of his future. 2 points in his first 3 games, if he keeps up that career pace....
In my deep roto keeper (40-man farm), here are my farm d-men; would you drop any of them to add Sweatt?
I.Cole
S.Elliott
C.Franson
M.Goncharov
S.Kampfer
V.Voynov

I read that with interest also. A few months ago Taormina was being compared to Rafalski too. It is probably premature to drop anyone for him, but if you did, I think the only guys you should even consider are Cole and Elliott.
Maybe drop one of your remote goalie prospects for him instead? If that's possible.

"It's such a fine line between stupid, and clever."
You know who else was overlooked because he was small, started his career in Finland, then came back to the NHL in his mid-twenties?
Cory Murphy.

nope...he didn't
Friedman's column was from Feb 1st
""7. Looking at Lee Sweatt, can't help but think Brian Rafalski. Both were four-year NCAA defencemen who had zero interest from the NHL. Both became huge stars in Finland. Sweatt returned to North America at age 25, Rafalski at 26. If the Canuck turns out half as good as the Red Wing, Vancouver is getting a heckuva player. ""
and then Angus Feb. 3rd
"I hate making comparisons for the wrong reasons… but Lee Sweatt and Brian Rafalski have a ton of similarities. Both are former NCAA stars who went to Finland after getting zero NHL interest. Rafalski was 26 when he came to New Jersey, Sweatt is currently 25."
hmmmmmm

Guess I should been clearer.... It wasn't his article that he had first mentioned Sweatt's likeliness to Rafalski.... Possibly it was on twitter. Not that it really matters but I had seen Angus mention it before Freidman's article.... just wanted to give credit where it was due so people aren't thinking he jacked the idea from Freidman.
Edit: hmmmmm
