I kinda like him tbh... keep him in Hartford, call him up when we are playing the devils or the islanders.

Never forget when Pete Deboer dressed this bum instead of a 7th defenseman when he knew Karlsson was playing on 1 leg in the WCF. And then he sent him after Pietrangelo when the game was 4-0 in the 3rd.

How can you?

Devils don't even have anyone on their roster to fight that Lemmy or DeAngelo couldn't handle. Even then he's really adding nothing out there; again I know it's only pre-season but he has everything to prove... I see no big hits or important plays by him, and every time he's dropped the mitts I don't think any punch landed and the refs broke it up. NHL is so strict these days. If you're going to be a fighter in this day and age, you have to also be able to play hockey. I don't see anything positive in his game. He's not like a Reaves or Wilson where they make other plays that matter in the course of the game

Devils have Simmons and Hayden; Wood is more scrappy than a fighter. Islanders and Capitals have more grit though.

I don't really see a problem in keeping Haley: nice 23rd man on the roster, will only play 7-9 mins a night, only play 20-40 games, I assume his is a good locker-room guy, and won't complain about being a healthy scratch.

By now Haley knows his role. He’s an enforcer.
