Amazing that he was such a priority that NYI had to sign him in October to ensure he didn't build value to price himself out of NY...

Kidding, of course

It is a stupid contract, but he’ll be in the AHL for a majority of the contract so I really don’t care. He’ll be lucky to play more than 20 NHL games in the next 4 years.

Lou wants to put him on waivers , that’s why he got the contract. Friedman said there would be interest if they put him on waivers a free months ago
