Worst case scenario is he sucks and fits right in with the rest of the bottom pairing candidates, best case is he's a 22 year old good skating 6'5'' defenseman who improves. And I mean they have the cap space and aren't close to the contract limit.
The only saving grace was that he wasn't taking one of their spots as they play a different game and his direct competition would be Breen. If Breen doesn't play when healthy though I will be very disappointed.

I'd rather promote Breen/Wotherspoon/Sieloff/Ramage/Cundari when the time comes to see what we have in these guys.
