You guys did great with this signing.
Devils fan here.
Complete warrior, lost a couple of steps when he broke his leg during the lockout. At his best, a shot-blocking, hard-checking machine. Character all around. Gutsy and ballsy to the core.
At his worst, he's getting pyloned and is lost in space screening your goalie.
Seriously - at 4.5m/yr for the next 4 years, he was death to our cap as a #5 Dman.
At 1m for a short term, the guy is gold.
Put him on your pk, and on your 3rd pair, and he'll be a monster for you.
Sad to see him off of our team - as his loss will hurt. Losing the contract won't.
