Skill set? What skill set?

Oh, fighting. Right. Yea, age won’t hurt that.

What I don’t like is the two years, but whatever, beggars can’t be choosers.

And for 2 years, why not, it’s not like age is slowing his skill set down, he’ll always be able to brawl.

Orr is nowhere near as feared as Brashear. Brashear’s presence will prevent anyone from f-ing with our young guns or Gaborik.

He deserved that kind of money. Such a classy guy. Him and Parise were the two Devils I always respected.

After sleeping the Rangers’ moves I’m not as mad. Especially since this gives them felxability going into the season, instead of being right up against the cap.

the lines I’d like to see:

Higgins -Drury – Gaborik – experienced center with Gab
Avery – Dubi – Callahan – young energetic line
Korpikoski – Anisimov- Zherdev
Byers -Boyle – Brashear

I do like a previous comment which mentioned Brashear will protect Avery and some other guys; but couldn’t Orr have done that?

Madden signed with Chicago, one year for $2.75M. Nice little signing. Can’t believe he’s 36 already.

They may look to deal Campell this year to a team with room. He’s #3 on their depth chart anyway.

All three are RFAs, so there’s compensation involved too.

They do need some offense.

And Blake accused Avery of saying something about cancer.

I wouldn’t be shocked, but I don’t believe it right now.
