Good signing. I'm a bit curious if this means COVID is a bit more prevalent than previously discussed/known. Beaudin was pretty good yesterday IMO. Not sure why we wouldn't play him...unless there's something more. I guess that could mean a trade too. This 100% rumor mill nonsense, but If I put my conspiracy theory hat on...that hypothetical Letang Trade fell through and GMJR resigned....maybe Stan's planning something along those lines???
I like this deal for Chicago. I think this is more than just a stop gap. I really think Chicago could get more out of him than Washington did sort of like Strome.
Dirt cheap for 2 years, even if its just a depth/injury replacement signing- its great value.
I think he still has potential to be a NHL regular, still young, surprised he wasnt signed earlier.
