Haven't watched him much since he was with Montreal, but he wasn't very good. No idea how he's still in the NHL.

Of course he does. At least we have Matt Irwin this year and it’s only going to be for a couple of months

Gustafsson is awful, He's a huge defensive liability, shouldn't be in the NHL at all.

Worse... imo a team is better off playing him as a forward. He can't play defense if his life depended on it.

Is Alex squared not ready to play? He's the same age as Fehervary and drafted ahead of him.

I agree with you. The signing isn’t bad for a 7th D-men

On June 18th, it was reported that he underwent surgery on his left shoulder and is expected to be miss 4-5 months. He'll probably need some time with Hershey (for conditioning) until he's able to challenge Gustafsson, Irwin and Johansen for that place on the third pairing.

Yes you're right, I do remember that now. Lot of bad news this off season for the Caps. Good grief. Wilson ACL tear, Backstrom hip resurface, Alex shoulder surgery.
