As much as I love to bust on Whitney Spears and call him soff and the like, he is one hell of a skater and next too Gonchar, he is our biggest offensive weapon on the blueline. Skating is by far his greatest asset and he apparently was unable to do so, to his standards last season. Whitney is still young and is really just now entering the "start" of his career as an NHL defenseman, the best is still to come from Mrs. Whitney. He is however still just that, pretty much a one dimensional D-man, offense only and he still looks lost in his own end. He's still afraid to get in front of the net and move some people around and he almost refuses to take a hit to make a play. Always has, more than likely always will. As I said earlier though, perhaps all that will change with maturity and he will turn into a complete D-man and be an key piece to the Penguin machine for a long time. And D, if you want, I can swing over the arena and pick you up a Whitney t-shirt, there's plenty on the shelves...
