Sorry--but Newbury is more the prototypical bottom liner than MZA is. The problem is some people think there's just no chance he's going to score--so if he can't help the offense why bother?--well, there's less chance that he's going to be outmuscled and hurt the defense than in MZA's case. Kris has played 17 games for us so far--a lot with limited ice time. He's had 5 fights in those 17 games, he's been good on face offs and hasn't hurt the team on the defensive end of things. He might not be a great player but you can get pretty much depend on what you get.
