Thread: Ottawa Senators signed Alex Galchenyuk (1 Year / $1,050,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jpsnow13</b></div><div>Maybe you shouldn’t evaluate a player only by the number of point he got ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Then you could find out why he was a bad fit in Pittsburgh and Arizona and Minesota and Montreal....

He just doesn't back check. (- 58 in his career) such a selfish player, a very bad role model for Ottawa's youth.

He will cost a lot more goals than he will produce. But hey, what a shot.</div></div>

Do not mistake me for someone who only evaluates players for their numbers.

I am not here to advocate Galchenyuk is some crazy awesome player. Bad at defense or not, players who have put up that many points over consecutive years have value. Especially at at 1 mil. Great season or awful season it literally does not matter for Ottawa. Can be buried if he is playing bad, can be traded at the deadline if he's playing good. For a team that is rebuilding to sign a player of this potential to this contract, you can not convince me this is a bad signing. Also, he work ethic has been complimented by Rutherford and pens writers saying he is always one of the last at practice and staying after to work more. Sounds like a good example, no?
