The only comparison between Taylor Pyatt and Ryane Clowe is that they are both hockey players. Clowe is everything this team has been missing since Brandon Prust left. Rough, physical and hard noised. You want a guy to make Chris Neil pay, this is your guy. And while I am painfully aware he hasn't scored any goals this year, He's averaged 20 a year over the past 5 years. You wouldn't be getting him for this price if he was having an average year.
I like Clowe a lot. I get to see him play quite a bit and understand his limits. He is not Rocket Richard. I also know that for a long time he's been the one heart and soul player on a team without much heart or soul. That's a big burden to carry.
I think Pyatt may actually be headed back to Phoenix. After all, what would the deadline be without a Coyote-Ranger trade?
