IMO good move, he is a stay at home defensive defenseman, will help out Crow

:lol:

Might be a decent Leddy partner.

Atleast he is coming off his best NHL season to date.

Still just a #6/7 guy. Hopefully a pure depth signing for a guy that can play some hockey and throw his body around.

Curious why we haven't found out the terms of contract yet, hopefully soon.

or a well dressed athlete in the sky box.

Possibly, I mean we'll have to see how it turns out and how Q uses him. I do, however, think he's better than your description.

Brookbank said hawks told him he would be a 5-6 defenseman

At only 1.250 salary. Pretty good deal

While I could care less either way - I do find it absolutely hilarious that in the same place that I have read posts by guys praising Ben fricking Eager outside of all proportion to reality (especially including his "scoring prowess") --- I will note that this guy's scoring looks comparable...

and find the difference in reception -well considering it is a slow day ... it is (relatively) silly.

Just seems like everyone is getting overpaid. Really what happens with the salary cap going up, guess we will just have to get used to it. Was really thinking under $2mil but obviously was off on that.

Hjalmarsson/Montador (atleast one) have to be good as gone after this and hearing $2.5mil a year which is what TSN has as well.

What an awesome move Bowman. This slow day better be because he's planning something big.

Why did I get my hopes up again?

Yeah at 2.5M he diffenitely seems like he is getting paid to be something more than just a depth signing.

Instead of wasting money on Brookbank, I would've rather just see Dylan Olsen do the same shit.

You will get both now!

This makes sense considering that comment from Bowman last night: "We're going to improve from within, bringing along some talent that's already in the organization, and we fully intend to overpay some spare parts who really won't add shit to squad but will eat up cap space so we won't be able to sign anyone meaningful."
