Man... what is the NHL's substance abuse policy, and how does it pertain to NHL execs? Because Kyle Dubas is hard-core addicted to former Ottawa Senators, someone please get him the help he needs.
Or better yet he should come take a gig in Ottawa, and get his fix straight from the source. Come work with the best GM in Canada and win the Cup with your favourite hockey team.
I would hope not. Jordie benn is 35 and frankly has been pretty bad of late. He doesn't even throw all that many hits at this point in his career...
I don't really care, but I think Benn would be better due to the veteran presence and pysicality he bring though, And I also think that the leafs think this as well.
Cody Ceci is better then a lot dmen, Ceci is a decent Dman
Yeah, the cap crushes people's perception of Defenders because they get miscast and for whatever reason, when a D-man earns a certain amount, its like you are obligated to continue paying them around that amount.
Ceci at like $1.5-2M a year on short term deals would be a great #5, Gudbrandson is similar. But once their salary gets over $3.5M they are a drag, and that in turn forces the team to play them in situations where they aren't likely to succeed.
