13/14th forward. But at least we know there's a legit heavyweight ready to dress unlike the rotation we usually go through in the first half of the season. The contract works, the player works.

It's not a bad signing at all. He's cheap. He fills a need.

I like that he broke the news of his own signing via his Twitter account. What a boss.

Did you not watch any Preds games last season???

Anyways, he's back for another year and cheap as hell. Good enforcer to have to play a handful of games.

Good enforcer and locker room guy. With Tootoo gone we need a guy like him and he is cheap. 13/14th forward to use when we go up against another enforcer and can play for a few minutes on the 4th line in a pinch if we have an injury. Him and Goose can pummel anybody who wants to try anything against our guys.

His twitter feed is pretty hilarious. Talks a lot about other sports and what sissys they are, and modern warfare....or at least he used to play a lot.

I wish I could have heard the negotiations for this deal.

Poile- "Hey Brian, we'd like to bring you--"
Ern- "Done."
Poile- "But I haven't even said money or--"
Ern- "1 year, league minimum. Done"

Glad he's back. Seems like a good guy, and size/toughness is never a bad thing.

Don't understand the signing to be honest. I'll expect him to be the 13th forward most nights.

Duhhhh, it's to beat up Tootoo in all our games vs Red Wings, plus he's a cool locker room guy. Every team could use an enforcer at some point in the season.

Hopefully he gets more games this year, and it's a 1-way contract.
