I say we watch him play first before going crazy, he clearly had a decent size role in Winnipeg last year and into the playoffs. You gotta wonder why they wouldn’t wanna sign him if they liked his play. Hopefully he can find a home with Hughes, OEL, or Myers ( funny how it’s impossible to tell who the first pairing is gonna be).
No true first pairing eh? So let's consider this a really lite version of Ehrhoff/Salo/Mitchell/Edler/Bieksa (I know I chuckled a bit too ) and see if any of these current guys can elevate their game here.. what I like about here is:
Poolman and OEL are totally new commodities and no one knows who they're gonna pair with so I'm sure they'll try and find a good fit.
Hughes with Hamonic is known to work so that's one baseline to build from.
Schenn came back with rings for a cheapo two-year-deal and we can therefore play him wherever seems best.
Only true problem is Myers. But we have time to try all kinds of combos, so maybe, just maybe something works..
