How are you not a "fan" of Caber AND a pick for Van Ryn? Must believe the false negativity that surrounded him. He's been a huge veteran presence for the Panthers and has been very important according to all reports.
Salei was a penalty machine and isn't nearly as good as Skrastins has been. The guy is good with the puck and blocks EVERYTHING! He's been a very solid defenseman while here.
Olli had to go, both parties needed a change in scenary. Ballard's also been a huge presence in the locker room while giving a solid defensive presence as well as doing very well offensively. Boynton's been pretty solid while here, save for a few lapses, and he sticks up for his teammates. Olli mailed it in last year while trying to get JM fired.
again, the team needed a solid netminder.
