Salary Cap: Farewell Bobby, you will be missed.

[PensandCaps]

It looks like many of us were proven right that were upset when they waived Farnham. Sure the goals aren't really expected, but he is making an impact as a 4th line role player by bringing speed, energy, tenacious forecheck, disruption, trolling, etc. Meanwhile, our team looks lifeless. We could use that spark here and there to get these guys going.

Except our 4th line is actually playing well. So farnham wouldnt improve it.

Well at least one of Fehr or Sprong should be moved up the lineup in place of Kunitz so I do think he could help. Anyway, the general point here is he is a guy that can be used in games to create a spark. It doesn't have to be every game but in a situation where you are playing 3 games in 4 nights, inserting an energy type of player like Farnham can go a long way to help pick up a tired team.

I think what he's saying, is that while he wouldn't improve our 4th line per say, he'd bring something to the table our 4th line doesn't currently bring. And after watching the last couple of games... its hard to argue with that. It's not so much that the 4th line is playing poorly (it's not), it's just that they're not really bringing much to the table other then whatever offense they can provide.
