well at least they finally did something

[martinezsvsu]

yay

Cool i'll take it. I feel mildly better about our D now going into this potential season.

[ShanahanMan]

He's a plus player, good age, and if he can stay healthy, he's good for a solid 30 points. Given what was out there, this was our best bet.

Better than Kindl at least.

Good news everyone!

[irishock]

Love this signing. And Tootoo's. Holland has answered the grit/tough guy calls, possibly a sniper call, NEEDS that #1/#2 defenseman though.

[brett]

decent. and still have roughly 9 mil left


our D might be a little tougher, but we need guys to step up offensively. like kronwall wouldnt hurt to have another 50pt season

_{This signing annoys me for no other reason than that he is the third player on this roster to have worn the cursed Maple Leafs sweater in recent years.}

[Hey man nice shot!]

yay and yay

[predmonkee]

Terrific signing IMO. A great stopgap until more opens up next year. Solid dman, will eat up some ice time... Good move for you guys

[St. Michael (the Red Wing)]

Good signings minus the fact were about to be in a lockout.

[wingslogo19]

It's a good depth signing for our D.

[Din758]

there its is boys and girls, our 22nd consecutive playoff team

[NeverForgetMac25]

Colaiacovo will work. He'll chew up valuable ice-time for us.

[esteef]

Not bad but he's no "tough guy".

[robb himself]

works for me. Good signing.

[Hatethedrake!]

I'm not sure what the lines will look like. Hopefully Eaves is healthy when there IS hockey. If there is hockey.

meh

At this point I'll take it. Carlo should fair well with a shorter season this year, hopefully he can hang on for most of it. He certainly helps boost the back end, it really doesn't look so bad now, Im excited actually!
