Who is this Seth Goldberg and why is he so good?

He is really impressing me today via tape delay.

Yeah, I read that but I still have never really heard of him until watching today's game.

slightly off topic...but its rochester...

why would you trade buggs combs, last years most improved player and second leading scorer on your team. or perhaps more importantly why would you trade him for a third round pick in next years supplemental draft.

anyone with me in thinking that this was a bad idea?

I'm sure it has something to do with drafting 2 attackmen, Joe Walters and Chris Unterstein. If you include those two with Goldberg and John Grant, that is 4 top quality attackmen. To me it looks like Combs was the odd man out.
