Why would they tie up 2 spots with one player that is afraid of getting anything but an errant elbow or stick dirty? He's too 1 dimensional to be a 20 and an import.
With their high standings can't they find a de net import that is not also a 20?
They are still going to be maturing as a team and don't need any watchers on the ice when they don't have possession.
If we had an 05 or 06 team maybe they could afford a defensive slug.
