good depth signing, another solid vet to help bring along the kids...and if we are in some kind of pinch he can play 4th line minutes for us for a brief stretch..
not complaining about any of the depth moves that Bowman is making. He truly does want to build from within and by doing that you have to teach these kids how to win and how to be professionals, no better way to do that then sign players who have played in the NHL and can mentor and help teach the youth.
About time they are taking the AHL serious and I applaud them and Bowman for it. We have to start having our kids play meaningful games in the AHL (playoffs), they need to be breed winners and not be a part of suck ass teams.
Hopefully this year depending on how many kids make the big squad, we should make the playoffs.
