We're counting on a guy that has a huge heart but little talent to play 2nd pairing minutes for the first time in his career at the age of 35, this same guy has mostly been a 6th7th defenseman and was a healthy scratch throughout his career the same defenseman we picked up at age 30 and released later. This is our number 3 guy on defense right now.
We lost Hamhuis - 2M - Arnott - 4.5m and Ellis 2M - That's 9.5M savings - Are we asking too much to say spend some of that money to make us a better team, right now, we are not....
