Better than Matt Benning. Will be good if Jones isn’t ready and an alternative to Russel.
Credit to @CD282 for predicting this months ago haha.
It's just good business to have depth - especially on defense - if you can afford it. Last year 262 defensemen played at least 8 games (>10% of the season), which works out to be 8.5 per team. Edmonton had 10, including Joel Persson (13), Brandon Manning (9) and William Lagesson (8), none of whom really belonged in the NHL. And they need to replace Klefbom's 62 games. This just makes good business sense.
