So this is POJ's replacement?

Older and smaller. Is that what this team is shooting for?

I look at it as insurance in case Graves doesn't improve. He can play top 4 minutes and does historically drive play in the opposition zone.

Maybe this is Graves replacement and KD has a trade for Graves? A guy can hope right?? :)

Don't understand paying almost $3mill for a 3rd pairing d man when we don't have much cap space.

How much could PO honestly be asking for? Watch him sign for 1 year $1mill somewhere else.

Grzelcyk

At 5-10, 185 pounds, I'm betting he can really lay the lumber and clear the crease.

Guess what... teams are looking for defensemen at the trade deadline too! We signed a guy who we can trade at the deadline.

So a playoff team can scratch him for 11 of their 12 games? I guess we got a pick for Chad who didn’t play so OK.

Good pick up by Taylor. Grzelcyk played for Quinn in college. Another reclamation project for Quinn! He's going to be busy this season.

He'll be as good as anyone on the team.
