We haven't had a #2 in some time..... Who was the last one? Alex Picard? Krajicek?

Really like this signing! Adds some toughness to the defense and given the one year deal has no risk. He looked good for a 6th dman in the games I saw last season.

Better have Schenn off the ice for five minutes and get his face punched in than our more skilled players. Hate to see guys like Kuch, Stamkos or even Cernak jump in to protect/retaliate for another player.

Here are Schenn's hit totals from his first 10 seasons. He has led all NHL defensemen in hits 3 separate years and has been ranked in the top 10 for dmen in hits 8 of those 10 seasons. He only played in 26 games this season, but was averaging 4 hits a game.

Also his ice time from year to year has been strangely up and down and up and down.

Feisty, physical D on a one year 'show us what you got' contract is not a bad pick up. Also may mean that Rutta gets moved down in the pecking order which is a Good Thing.

Anything that moves Rutta to Syracuse is a win.
