Beat me to it.
Also, I'll repeat what I said in the Brendan Smith thread as it still applies: Dan Girardi or gtfo!

Colored me un-impressed
I don’t know which hole this fills.
4C, Lorentz to wing, Leivo to press box?
Ex Broadway South? 4C improvement.. I guess.So what are we now, the home of wayward former Rangers?
I mean, fine, I guess. He's cheap.
I’m sure we can find a less stellar goalie that played for the Rangers.
He used to be really fast, maybe we're banking on Burniston being able to turn him around with the new explosiveness training he used with Jordan?Pierre McGuire was a fixture on Ottawa radio in the mornings before getting his new gig.
Last year he was adamant that Stepan was cooked and had lost a step big time.
I don't see how this fits into the Canes skate em into the ground philosophy
It's a long off season, plenty of time for big moves yet, but every time I see one of these weird fringe moves I just get a little shpilkes going on.
I was hoping that we'd get an E. Staal signing tweet for this role, but for sentimental reasons.
To me, the Bottom 6 is a weird mishmash at this point. I'm not sure what they're going for. It's not a noticeably physical group overall. It's not all that good offensively. Save for Staal, it's not known for defense either.
If this is it, the positive thing about this group is half of them are not under contract for 22-23.
I can't keep track of all the cheap marginal players and have no idea if we have any actual money left to spend or not.

Another potential thing that might be going on, on top of protecting Jack Drury in the AHL, is a bit of a DeAngelo whispering campaign: load the team with veteran voices that all came from the Rangers back when he had his most peaceful seasons in the NHL. I don't know if it's just a coincidence that all of these former Rangers are signing on just as DeAngelo has been brought in. It probably is, but it's a thing to consider.
Stepan never played with DeAngelo. He was traded for him. This particular move is unrelated to a narrative that is applicable to the Smith signing.

I dunno. I shed a sentimental tear when we brought Freddy back.It has never been clearer than this past week that we don't do that anymore. At all. Ever.
