Turco - Will he pull a Kipper?

[ross10019]

I am a new Turco owner, and had to give up some assets to get him. I did it because I think he\'s a definite buy low with his awful start. I think his situation is remarkably similar to Kipper\'s in Calgary. A good, balanced team with a decent to good D, which starts out terribly due in part to his bad goaltending, but without a true backup to spell him.

The Flames are now hot, as is Kipper, and his owners are smiling now after putting up with a bad first few weeks.

I think Turco is in the same league as Kipper. He may not have put up as stellar numbers over the years, but all around he has been almost as valuable to his team (excluding playoffs, until the last 2 years).

I think it\'s just a matter of time before Dallas starts to roll again, and when they do things will start to click, both for the team and for Turco. The team is just too good to continue with this terribly inconsistent play, same for Turco, and they won\'t be looking to Tobias Stephen to help them out except for the spot start.

So count me among those who thinks that Turco will soon \"pull a Kipper\". That\'s not because I just acquired him (although of course it was THE reason why I did), just an objective assessment based on the goalie and the team.

Would be interested in hearing your thoughts!
