I think they’re going to try and capitalize on how he played last season, then he wont cost as much later on as the salary cap goes up. Sounds smart to me. And I don’t understand the Gary Roberts signing. He wanted a multi-year deal. We wanted to sign him to 1 year as well and I think for the same amount of cash. I mean he’s a presence on the ice and the locker room, but at best he’s a 4th line enforcer anymore.
