He's a bottom 6 player. It's fine. There's no reason to act like he's more than he is or that this is some sort of amazing player. He's a bottom 6 chaos merchant. If the Avs are happy with that, good for them, but going back and reading this thread, most devils fans seemed pretty even about what he was and appears to continue to be.
2.5 mil also won’t be as much of the cap in 5-6 years, so they’ve basically locked in a sandpaper vet for little money. If he can stay decently healthy I just don’t get the negativity from some here- you gotta find a trustworthy 4th liner a few years from now, this dude should be good for it. He’ll get banged up, you try out prospects a bit, then Woods returns and it’s fine. Don’t think he’s the type to fall too hard off a cliff, and the contract is easily moved towards the end anyways.
