Because they felt he was the best option out of the 3 free agent D’s they had (Scuderi, Melichar, and Nasreddine). I would of preferred they kept Nasreddine as the 7th defenseman, but I’m okay with Scuderi. Just please, no Joe Melichar.

This signing is basically just as protection in case Letang is not ready to play here right off the bat this season or in case of an injury because we damn well know Eaton is prone.

I figure the D lines should be…

Gonchar/Eaton
Whitney/Orpik
Letang/Sydor

Scuderi as the 7th who is mostly scratched unless an injury or rest thing happens.

I suppose you’re right—actually totally right—Joe Melichar is probably the worst defensemen ever to wear a Penguin sweater!
