Since when did the phrase "depth signing" become synonymous with "mediocre hack destined for 3rd pair or bottom 6"?

ASSETS: Plays a safe brand of hockey that keeps the mistakes to a minimum. Is very dependable and will play through injuries.FLAWS: Lacks the overall skills to contribute on offense consistently. Does not use his good size nearly enough. Is injured a lot.
CAREER POTENTIAL: Depth defenseman.
So you're telling me we have Ericsson 2.0? I certainly hope we didn't just bring in another 200+lb player that plays like he weighs 102.

Spent a lot of time injured for the Blues last season. Just what we need - another addition to the Zombie line.

How the f*** did it come to this? "There's lots of opportunity for young guys to take a step up and improve their game. But if they don't, rest assured that we've got no other options". Awesome.

Holland doesn't like guys who stick up for their teammates and play a physical brand of hockey.
Just be happy we actually signed Tootoo, but any more grit and Holland wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

My thought as well. Likely Vandermeer couldn't make it by tonight, but IMO he would have been a better option for the season.
