I like this. Means something else is coming. Hextall you've got my interest.

 

[SomeDude]

Solid player, solid contract. Also means something bigger is brewing.

 

[Beauner]

Jan Rutta is a player. Not in like, the adjective sense of him being a seriously skilled athlete.

He's just a person who plays in the NHL. That's about all I know about him

His name is suspiciously close to Jani Rita. That's a win in my book.

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

I don’t like it. Money could’ve been better spent imo.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

LIke it. Now trade a Dman

 

[Jacob]

Rutta is garbage IMO.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

This team has needed another Jan for a hell of a long time so I'm tentatively a fan.

So Marino is gone I guess?!

 

[Dangles78]

Meh. I'll wait to see what the bigger picture is but Rutta is nothing special and I think Ruhwedel/Friedman do fine with stabilizing the bottom pairing.

Yeah Rutta is just another Ruhwedel but 3x the price.

 

[SomeDude]

You just know there is like a wall-sized portrait of this photo hanging in the Rita household somewhere.

 

[spcastlemagic]

Hextall has my attention... seems like a guy who can be a 6 D yeah? I wonder what move is next.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Who?

Not enough big bodies and truculence for the FO lol

 

[Randy Butternubs]

According to his fancy stats etc on Dobber he's a 3rd pairing d-man.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

I gotta tell you that it's weird that a defenseman for a 2X Cup winning team doesn't stand out in my mind at all. Like I can't even remember the guy past him being a big depth defenseman type for them.

Definitely feels like the first of several moves, though.

 

[SomeDude]

Who?

John Ritter. The dad from Problem Child.

 

[HandshakeLine]

Cool, I've always wanted an entire lineup of those.

 

[dogthateats]

He has played with Hedman and gone up against other teams top lines. Kind of boring

Not remembering a D man is usually a good sign. We tend to just remember great or really terrible D men.

 

[Buddy Bizarre]

Unless they ship out Petts this is a meh signing. ANd honestly, they could have not signed this guy and traded Petts anyway.
