Hes a good ol' boy. Hopefully he beats up Wilson again

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Hopefully a 5th /shrug

 

[NK94]

This is what happens when you hire Burke and allow him to do things.

Truculence!

 

[Prairie Habs]

Surprised he's still in the league honestly

 

[Static]

Better player than he's given credit for. Hope he sees some playoff minutes.

 

[Dr Quincy]

Great player for them to be spending assets on.

 

[Jannik Hansen]

This guy looked like a stud 4th liner his first year in Montreal.

 

[GKJ]

If there's one thing Ron Hextall loves, it's low-ceiling 4th liners.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

This guy looked like a stud 4th liner his first year in Montreal.

He’s not terrible but mostly there for fighting/protection

 

[Joel Ward]

Should inject proper levels of pugnacity, testosterone, truculence and belligerence into that lineup.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Thanks I hate it.

Probably something like Riikola for him.

 

[Trade]

Oh joy

 

[Beendair Donedat]

He’s as tough as they come in today’s NHL and can play as a fourth liner as well. Hope to see him feed Tom Wilson a steady diet of right hands in the near future.

 

[MMC]

No reason for Penguins fans to be upset about this, Ducks fans all pretty much universally liked him, even though we aren't exactly sad to see him go.

 

[BillyOcean]

Hey, they didn't drop 20 spots in a draft and get rid of a center prospect to do it either. Incredible.

 

[ziggyjoe212]

I'm guessing this guy is the Wilson deterrent if we play DC in the playoffs.

 

[terranraida]

he was a tough dude and a good 4th liner. maybe he was tired of fighting MacDermont every Kings game? I'll miss him that's for sure.

 

[Leonardo87]

I liked Des on the Ducks, stood up for teammates and could sometimes bring a little offense here and there. His toughness will be missed but it’s not a big loss for Anaheim.

 

[Boo Boo]

It is rare but his goals are all bonafide snipes

 

[heynowbababooey]

He scored a hat trick last season. Put him in Sid's line.

 

[CrosbyMalkin]

He’s as tough as they come in today’s NHL and can play as a fourth liner as well. Hope to see him feed Tom Wilson a steady diet of right hands in the near future.

I guess that is ok as long as we didn't give up anything much for him. I really don't mind someone that can be an enforcer as long as they can play a regular 4th line shift and not hurt you. If he only plays against the Caps it will be worth it. Tired of Wilson taking his cheap shots with nobody doing anything. When we had Reaves he really cut back on that kind of crap. Honestly don't mind it as long as he can play a decent 4th line shift.

 

[Chris P Bacon]

He’s not terrible

That’s reassuring

 

[Jormungandr]

As a Coyotes fan it makes me sad to see other teams actually address team toughness. I guess I can continue to watch tough guys like Gabe Landeskog and Nathan MacKinnon pile drive Conor Garland into the ice like I’m watching Monday night raw.
Nice pick up by Pittsburgh. Tough as nails and can actually play a regular shift on the fourth line.

 

[BigFatCat999]

am I wrong to say the French Canadian Wade Belak (RIP)
