Well, we need grit, and Dalpe isn't on waivers.
I saw Boychuk at a charity golf tournament in summer 2011, and he is just ripped. He landed 16 hits in 16 games playing a small amount of minutes for Carolina last season, and can skate well enough to establish a forecheck, unlike Petrell and Smyth.
We should pick him up to see if he can add some speed, energy, and competitiveness to our old, slow bottom 6. If he doesn't work out, just let him go again.
