Cooke,Lapierre,Tootoo..etc have had nice career's being pricks.
This team needs an arsehole,even if it's for 4 minutes a game

So Abbotsford doesn't need a guy that hits, agitates and bothers the other team?
In the AHL that doesn't work?
Amazing the BS people will come up with to try and defend a guy that is a healthy scratch at the AHL level, barely maintained his spot in the AHL after being dumped for nothing by other organizations and repeatedly shows that he is barely AHL material.
Cooke, Tootoo, Lapierre have made careers out of that because they can play at a 3rd line level as well. If they struggled at the AHL level no way do their teams bring them up.
I think NHL players will be just fine with scoring PP goals after getting "smoked and facewashed" and scoring goals after walking around Aliu out there on the ice.
